  |

Hi all,
for our Clan Campaign, see http://www.commandohq.com/EventInfo.asp?Action=View&EID=859 for more details, i have substituted the weapons of a standard Jenner II c ( 2 SRM6 + Streak4 ) with the energy weapons i usually prefer in my mechs:
Instead of a SRM6 my variant has 2 ERmediumLaser in each arm.
Instead of the Streak4 my variant has a ERlargeLaser in the Center Torso.
Additionaly i have moved the 4 JumpJets from the feet into the side torsos to minimize the risk of critical engine hits.
With a speed of 9/14/7 and a maximum Weapon Heat of 32, this variant is a bit too hot for the 10 DoubleHeatSinks, but i wanted to minimize the differences to the original Jenner II c, even as i usually prefer more armor than the 67 points the Jenner II c has.
I considered replacing the ERlargeLaser with more armor, and maye 1 or 2 DoubleHeatSinks in the feet, but i think that with Clan technology, especially pulse lasers with targeting computer, i need the long range of 25 hexes.
What is your opinion about my variant ?
I intend to qualify at least for Star Commander with my mech 
PS: Maybe i should replace the 4 ERmLaser with 2 mPulseLaser 
This would lower the maximum Weapon heat and rise the chance of hitting my opponent after jumps.

I would go with the pulses as you might as well fire the ER LL at close range was well and not totally waste it.

As i am only allowed to play the original JennerIIc, i have abandoned our clan campaign at all 
Currently i experiment with 2 versions of the JennerIIc:
One with 2 ERmL in each arm and a Streak4 in the CT,
the other one with a mPulseL in each arm and a ERlL in the CT.
As i hate the weapon-mix of the original JennerIIc, i either try to simulate the original IS Jenner as close as possible or create a all energy-weapon version which reflects my personal preferences.

Actually the original original design for the Jenner had a LL in the CT, but there was some kind of problem with it so the Kurita engineers came up with the duel MLs in the arms and the SRM 4.

I assume it was running MUCH too hot ! 
Even with a SRM4 instead of a LL in CT the 3025 Jenner is hard to keep cool as you have to use the JumpJets often to compensate for the weak armor

And that is the reason for the JRF-7F version that drops the SRM-4 for 3 more tons of armour it still runs a little warm but now it has enough armour to survive.

Thats why this mech is my favorite 3025 mech
This light mech is able to win against most medium mechs in a duell

That is my favorite level 1 too I kicked serious but in a Solaris league 5 years ago with one had a 10-2 record with an assassin and an enforcer amoung my kills I fought them when I could not get another light for an opponant.
