Due to the description of the Banshee's production years reading "...producing five thousand Banshees in a decade before its poor combat performance finally forced them to stop production", I have set the production ceased date for the Banshee in 2455. Feel free to revert if this is contradicted by canon or my conjecture is incorrect. Mattiator (talk) 17:24, 23 April 2013 (PDT)
- Production of the Banshee was also restarted with the advent of the -3S variant. That makes the "cease production" date a bit more complicated. --Scaletail (talk) 18:24, 23 April 2013 (PDT)
Production Date Confusion
So can anyone explain to me why we don't use the original variant in the infobox (and thus on the year pages, etc.); for this one it was first produced in 2445 but the variant in the infobox was 2475, and it is unnecessarily confusing. I just don't understand why the oldest one isn't used. -BobTheZombie (talk) 15:54, 31 July 2014 (PDT)
- Sarna currently operates on first out of universe TRO appearance is the default variant for the info box and the like. The BNC-3E is the first variant released out-of-universe (good old TRO:3025) where the BNC-1E is the first one in-universe but didn't appear until XTRO:Primatives. The issue also becomes especially painful for 'Mechs from earlier sourcebooks like the Cataphract and Wolfound which had 3025-tech versions in sourcebook form, but first appeared in in a TRO in TRO3050 so their upgraded versions are the info-box/default variant. The Banhsee though I doubt will swap because the BNC-1E uses primative tech rules which unlike the BNC-3E using introductary rule level technology.Cyc (talk) 17:45, 31 July 2014 (PDT)
- Okay, that makes a lot of sense; thanks for explaining that. -BobTheZombie (talk) 20:25, 31 July 2014 (PDT)
LFE and Heavy Gauss?
How is that possible?
- BNC-6S? --Dmon (talk) 16:57, 13 April 2019 (EDT)
- I'd assume so and I'd probably assume question is from a MWO player. The BNC-6S uses something that is not included in MWO - Crit Splitting. The HGR criticals are split between left (nine) and center torsos (remaining two) to allow the use of a LFE and CASE in the left torso, restricts the firing arc to the CT/most restrictive but very useful in this case.

Primary art
I know usually we've used the most recent stuff from the Rec Guide, but there's a pretty big difference between the unit described in the box (the 3E) and the 12S from the Rec Guide. If we were treating the 3S as the primary Banshee, I don't think it would be as much of an issue. But I think, given that we're using the 3E, we should at least have something with both hands.
