You can tell this is Craig Ferguson's show because...who else? But also the backdrop.

Battlemech Equipment Survey Round 5

I've posted a few of these, but this is a last call for Round 5. I believe I've got 8 Rounds planned total. And then...well, who knows?

It's a survey asking which BattleTech equipment or class of equipment you generally prefer.

Survey 5-1: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJPrkwIhGeBuT97nV3r1OF6XXy4gzW-x35FytgTGQ2Y7xaqw/viewform?usp=sf_link

  • Standard PPC versus Standard Fusion Engines
  • MRMs versus Improved Advanced Tactical Missiles
  • Shield versus Anti-Penetrative Ablative Armor

'Mech: "SLAM" Society LAM

 

Survey 5-2: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX2sX95cIc6jFbGyC60u9EsXldzb9ea4uyITyoNvdL5aemiw/viewform?usp=sf_link

  • Pulse Lasers versus ER PPC
  • CASE versus basic C3 systems
  • Re-Engineered Lasers versus 'Mech turrets

'Mech: Freelancer FLR-11

 

Survey 5-3: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUjn3fWy8c47oL0MyAHPl1DiV4Gs3azMV3ySspkV0lbObaIA/viewform?usp=sf_link

  • Artemis V versus Double Heat Sinks
  • Supercharger versus RISC Pulse Laser Module
  • Bloodhound Probe versus Nova CEWS

 Strange match-ups to be honest, but that happens.

'Mech: Teniente

 

Survey 5-4: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeR71ite0K-HuacWTCQ7RJiTjClaMQHbDJ0sPxOLRfMW01EBw/viewform?usp=sf_link

  • Light Fusion Engines versus Gauss Rifles
  • Targeting Computers versus ER Pulse Lasers
  • Heavy Gauss Rifle versus Reactive Armor 
'Mech: Elite ELITE-1

 

Survey 5-5: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfG1b2c_6VLL5MoNoBv_v5BVkuL7sqTeGi_uxwbXfV1iA5wWg/viewform?usp=sf_link

  • TSM versus Hardened Armor
  • AC special munitions versus Artillery special munitions
  • Angel ECM vs Guardian ECM

These matchups are determined by the results of previous rounds, so these coincidental match-ups are just that.

'Mech: Facehugger FCH-1A

 

Survey 5-6: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEZbFaeI2RwIhEIouOe1apAsCiTw68BblvNWo1oMAFkvvoeA/viewform?usp=sf_link

  • Standard versus Streak SRMs
  • Heavy Lasers versus iHGR
  • Standard ACs versus Plasma Rifles
