Tos expertise quiz

[rosary]

Test your expertise as a ToS pilot. The following intelligence photo has been submitted to your Battle Computer. Determine its weapons. We require detailed analysis. Also it might be fun.

Even a green pilot knows this for a locust chassis. Most pilots count 6 weapons. We at HQ see 8. Get to work!

It looks to me like it's wielding two 40mm autocannon and two 20mm chainguns. There might be a small laser or two as well, since they could be mounted behind glass firing ports instead of projecting from the chassis. Interestingly, it has no arms, which means it will be very weak in close combat.

Hmm. I count twin AC12s and AC7s, as well as twin racks of SRM4 missiles. In addition, potentially twin energy wepons behind the glass in the center of the titan, and the obvious kicking power of the legs, which look pretty nasty with those claw-toe-things... So I would count 8, potentially 10 seperate wepons systems.

You're right, it doesn't have arms... yet Locust chassis can be mounted with CC weponry in the arms. (At least they could in 1.4, i'm waiting for WS to get to my local store so I can buy it. must.... have....)

Here is one analysis sent me by another Titan-AT squadron, the following has been declared unclassified due to use of an obsolete fabrication plant [ Tosv1.3b ] :

Titan Name: <Locust> (Light Close Combat Titan-AT)
Chassis: Morola L4 Designer: Local Death Squad
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weight: 70.0t (70t maximum) Height : 10 [meter]
Bmt : 19 (63 kph) Reduce Heat: -1.9C/sec.
Jmt : 16 (75 kph) for 64 secs Cost : 138266 ($)


Equipment:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Component/Type/Location

Engine : CyberSys [Engine 3] [CBT ] assumed
Heatreg.: Teflin [Heat 3] assumed
Flare : FL Military [Flare3] [CT ] guess
LifeSup.: Livotto [Life 1] [Head] minimum requirement; may be more.
Scanner : CyberSys [Scanner3] [LT ] Probable, may be less.
Computer: DynamCorp. [Comp. 3] [RT ] Probable, maybe Comp. 4
JumpPort: Aerojol [Jump 2] guess


From direct observation techniques weapons are:

Weapons:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Location/Weapon/Ammunition/SL

[RT ] S.R.M. 4 RACK (048) [2] Yes, gm4s to large
[LT ] S.R.M. 4 RACK (048) [2] and 4 sets of gm 2 ridiculous
[RA ] MACHINE GUN (080) [2] yes but could be ac 4s
[LA ] MACHINE GUN (080) [2] with 1 slot ammo

[RA ] SMALL LASER Medium is possible
[LA ] SMALL LASER " "


Armor:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Loc/Internal/Armor/Points/mm

If all else is assumed armor may be something
like this:

[Head] (11) Dullaroy 018 [026mm]
[RT ] (19) Dullaroy 032 [046mm]
[CT ] (19) Dullaroy 037 [053mm]
[RA ] (19) Dullaroy 031 [045mm]
[LA ] (19) Dullaroy 031 [045mm]
[LowT] (13) Dullaroy 032 [047mm]
[LL ] (17) Dullaroy 034 [049mm]

Armorindex: 6.66 [Total APts/T]
Internal: 166 [APts]
External: 300 [APts] Max:[071mm]
Total Armor: 466 [APts]

Assuming the above then:

JOCK requirements:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
