Rewording

Excerpt one

. . . The 'Mech carries an Irian Weapons Works V7 LRM 15 launcher which gives it long range… capabilities.

Nothing wrong there, accurate to my knowledge.

Excerpt two

This is backed up by [a]… LB-X Autocannon/10 and a[n]… ER Large Laser which give the 'Mech… long-range punch.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't a LB-X AC/10 a medium range(ish) weapon? How does it work with the LRM and the ER LL to give the 'Mech a 'long-range punch'?

Excerpt three

The 'Mech carries a… Large Pulse Laser which allows the 'Mech to engage… at the edge of the medium to long-range envelope.

Isn't 'around here' where the LB-X AC/10 should be mentioned?

Hi Xoid, I noticed that there was no response to this so thought I would answer a couple of questions.

The LB-X AC/10 has the same range as a standard PPC, considered to be a long range weapon. It's range brackets are 1-6, 7-12, 13-18. This is only 1 hex shorter than the ER Large Laser.

The Large Pulse Laser, on the other hand, has a much shorter range with bands of 1-3, 4-7, 8-10. This is marginally langer than a medium laser, so I would classify this as a medium to short range weapon.

Hope this clears a couple of things up and keep questioning things. It's the best way to make these articles better. :) --Jimmy the Tulip 14:46, 20 November 2006 (CST)

Really? o_0 (Just goes to show; don't trust the video games.) Thanks for the help Jimmy. --Xoid 15:50, 20 November 2006 (CST)
