Below is a listing of all non-'Mech units in the game, with their specifications. They only loosely match their BattleTech counterparts. Some don't even have the same tonnage. Their tonnage really has no effect on the game though, and mostly serves as an indicator of relative size.
The accuracy of enemy vehicles increases considerably on higher difficulty settings.

The Drillson and Scimitar don't match their BattleTech equivalents at all, apart from being hovercraft. The Swarm LRM Carrier is simply an LRM Carrier using Swarm LRM ammunition. Swarm LRMs in MechCommander 2 work completely differently from Swarm LRMs in BattleTech. The Storm doesn't have a BattleTech equivalent. The rest are fairly close to their BattleTech equivalents.
Aero Spotters call in Shilone air strikes on your position.
