Missile Weapon Specs
Short-Range Missiles
Short-range missiles are specially designed to fire at close range. Although the SRM-2
missile fires only two missiles at once, it can cause more damage than a missile in the
long range missile group. The SRM-5 fires four missiles at once an dthe SRM-6 version
delivers six missiles in one powerful shot
Streak Short-Range Missiles
These short-range missile launchers are linked to
a computerized fire-control system which hanles target scquisition. Once the computer
obtains a target lock, the streak missile will automatically home in on its target. The
sure-hit SRM-2 fires two missiles at once while the SRM-4 blasts four missiles worth of
firepower. The SRM-6 tops the streak missile family with a six-pack blast of guided bliss.
Long-Range Missiles
The long-range missile is a specialized weapon designed to make contact with its
target at long range through the use of its guidance system. The LRM-5 sends off a
five-back of missiles at once. The LRM-10 fires off ten missiles with one blast. The
LRM-15 fires off a 15-pack of missiles and the LRM-20 leads this family of missiles with a
20-pack of pure missile power. Its indirect hits have been known to be as effective as its
direct hits due to area-effect explosions known as "splash damage."
Arrow IV Missile Artillery
The Arrow IV is a stand-alone missile system designed to deliver long-range
salvos. The Arrow system uses the area-saturation missile, whichc attacks an area rather
than a specific target, inflicting massive explosive damage to any object within a
45-meter blast radius.
Inferno Missiles
Inferno missiles are special-purpose missiles designed to affect the heat level
of enemy BatlteMechs. Inferno missiles come in guided and dumb-fire modes and operate the
same as SRM-2 and SRM-2 systems.
Narc Missile Beacon
The Narc missile beacon is a heavily modified missile launcher that fires special
missiles, alled pods, made up of powerful homing beacons mounted behind a magnetic head.
If the missile hits its target the pod broadcasts a homing signal for any friendly missile
systems equipped to receive Narc transmissions. Once established, th signal lock cannot be
broken and the Narc cannot be destroyed.
Torpedoes
Torpedoes are maritime versions of regular short- and long-range missiles. Units
equipped with torpedo racks may not use normal missile ammo, and missile racks may not use
torpedo ammunition.
