It was a development of the plan used to fight the Iraqi's in 91 and that was doctrinally identical to the planned fight against the Soviet Union. At their feet infantry and armoured vehicles came forwards in support. Under this barrage the Mech’s of seven nations advanced weapons already tracking as they sought targets. This was supported by waves of F-15's, 16's and 18's whilst US Cruisers added their Tomahawk missiles to those in the air already launched by B-52's that were heading deep into North Korea to target supply depots and vital infrastructure like bridges, radio stations and radar sites. From firebases whole Companies of Archer and Catapult Mech’s volleyed their missiles, reloaded and fired again. The start of the UN counter offensive against the North Korean spearhead as heralded by artillery and missile fire from towed, tracked and walking weapons. High speed precision hydraulics and pneumatics have been around for decades. I would think mechs of the 70's and 80's there cockpits would really weigh in at 2 tons mainly for the computer hard ware needed. I also think a eletronic gyro scope would work. (i'm ball parking here)Īlso the pat labor piloting system might actually be doable, but I do like the "primitive neuro helmet" for the MK ultra project. Then again on 1 meter by 1 3rd meter square area weight something like 200 pounds, when we had to replace the efp armor. (note: no classified information here, because I did not give thickness or the spaceing of the lattice) #Battletech urban warfare trainer skin#Also some interesting results with a hardened steel interwoven latice, with a ceramic backing, with a 2/8 of a inch skin was effective against EFP s. I would think a good thick kevlar blanket, along the back, and sides of the knees, with a solid knee cop in the front would be the answer. Armoring the joins would be difficult, even if you go with articulating steel plates. If we are doing mechs as tanks in a AU, then we can definitely fudge some things. There where other exotic materials used in test batches of armor, but once again mass production issues. There where issues with mass production, in real life. if you look at some of the ceramic armor plating developed in the 80's, and 90's it was apparently effective, as long as it had a spall liner. Explosive reactive armor tiles I can see being used also. Probably ceramic plates or Rolled homogeneous steel for the limbs. So I could see chorbam over critical systems like the main body, cockpit, and the main gun areas. ( not sure what the classified materials are sorry). As far as armor goes Chorbam is steel, with a DU strike plates, with a layer of ceramic over the DU, skined in steel, with a Kevlar spalling liner at the very back.
