![]() ![]() It can deal 13 damage with a kick, but that means it risks falling over on a miss. The No/Minimal Arms quirk means that it cannot punch. The Catapult CPLT-C1 does not do well in close-quarters brawling. Heat-Adjusted Maximum and Expected Damage Brawling The minimum range on the missiles combined with the range of the lasers means that the Catapult’s peak expected damage is at a range of 6 hexes. Four medium lasers give the CPLT-C1 a strong backup to the missiles at shorter ranges. Unfortunately, cluster hit rolls mean that the expected damage output is much lower. These give the design the ability to deal up to 30 damage at a range of 21 hexes. The main armament on the CPLT-C1 is a pair of LRM 15 launchers. Both side torsos of the CPLT-C1 carry LRM ammo with each having 25% of critical slots being explosive. The Weak Head Armor quirk means that the head location effectively loses 1 point of armor, but that still leaves that location just 1 shy of its maximum, so it is not a major drawback. Its 160 points of standard armor are only 76% of what its chassis could carry, and it is well below average durability for a heavy ’Mech. In line with its role, the Catapult CPLT-C1 is relatively lightly armored. It is generally worth using the jump jets to bypass terrain like water and rubble that would require a Piloting Skill Roll. With the No/Minimal Arms quirk, the Catapult can struggle to stand up if it falls. For evasion, the Catapult can achieve a +2 target movement modifier either running or jumping. Once its mission is complete or if enemy units start to close in, the jump jets can then be used to withdraw out of the rough terrain quickly. As a fire support ’Mech, those jump jets are useful for getting to the top of hills or into cover to give the CPLT-C1 a good position to use for unleashing its missiles. The Catapult has an average ground speed for a heavy ’Mech, but it retains that mobility in rough terrain thanks to its 4 jump jets.
