Each 'Mech had 150 statistics that the game kept track of.  This information was not known to the player and has only been discovered by examination of the game data.  Not all of these statistics have been understood.  Some of the information was regarding the pilot, and therefore was important to save game data but not ultimately related to the loadout of the 'Mech.  The known and 'Mech-related data for each 'Mech included:

===Weapons and Heat Sinks===
Each 'Mech had hardpoints for the head (1), left and right torso (12 each), center torso (2), arms (8 each) and legs (2 each).  Weapons were on appropriate slots to reflect the descriptions in the Technical Readouts (example: the Locust's medium laser was on a center torso hardpoint).  Each weapon took up only one hardpoint on a 'Mech, but larger weapons were annotated that they should take up more than one slot.  This information would have been used with the 'Mech customization bay which did not make it to the published version of the game.  There was a category for "engine heat sinks", and additional heat sinks are often located in some of the 'Mechs' hardpoints as well.  The total number of heat sinks always equals the number of heat sinks from the Technical Readouts.

===Ammunition===
 
===Ammunition===
Rather than having a set amount of ammo per weapon as is suggested by the Player's Guide, each 'Mech was manually programmed with an amount of ammunition.  This ammunition was kept track of using three separate categories, making it unclear if it was located in a particular place on the 'Mech.  Friendly 'Mechs that were destroyed were sometimes described in-game as having suffered an ammunition explosion, but it is unknown if this was scripted or not.

The Inner Sphere Mechs in the game are accurate in all respects to Technical Readout 3025, except for the Hermes II which had its flamer replaced with a small laser (despite documentation to the contrary).

In the game's story, some 'Mechs were modified after the Clan invasion and subsequent adoption of [[Lostech|LosTech]].  Most of these 'Mechs had their weapons and equipment listed in the 'Mech selection screens in the Arc-Royal Training Center.  These lists were not included in the game's Player's Guide, nor at any other point in the game.  The two Locust variants and the Dragon variant were not available at the Arc-Royal, and had to be determined by examination of the game code.

These enhanced mechs were not encoded with the same attention to detail as the basic Inner Sphere mechs.  Many of them do not exactly correspond with variants known outside of BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge.  Differences often include exact amounts of armor, number of heat sinks, and lack of Streak SRMs.
