Re: list of weapon damage, heat, range, and recovery time?

http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MechWarrior_2:_Mercenaries/Weapons

This one seems familiar I think that's what I remember from the old manul but it's incomplete. I'm pretty sure that it's 150 for machineguns, too.

Is there some way to access the mechlab in mercenaries? When I choose customize it ...

Re: What's your favorite mech?

Always been marauder for me. Both the look and how it is just an all around great mech for most situation.

list of weapon damage, heat, range, and recovery time?

I'm playing through again now and it's maddening to me to not know the exact specs of weapons and I can't find a manual on replacement docs.

Anyone know a list that works for mercenariess? I see several lists but they are all conflicting. Of course if there's a manual out there I think it has this ...

Re: Feedback for my mech?

You have nothing but lasers, and way too many so it will overheat quickly.

You also have nothing long range, and nothing to take down aircraft.

I'd get one ER PPC or ER Large Laser(more heat per damage point but better range and hits easier), maybe 2 if you can. Put them in the arms as they won't ...

Re: Number of built in heat sinks?

Yeah, but what are they?

I am playing mercenaries and there's no mech lab. I looked into straight MW 2 and poked around but I don't see where it's doing that (maybe because it doesn't seem to work 100%).

There's no mention in the MW 2 or GBL manuals and there seems to be nowhere online to get a ...

Re: best mechwarrior game?

I like MW 2 mercs the best, too.

The clans are interesting but I like the IS equipment better in many ways and it's much more interesting to only get the clan tech in bits and pieces, plus to have choices in your missions is very underrated. Usually I skip that dumb iceberg mission for example.

Thanks, it turned out I just had to slow it down slightly and then it worked well.

Number of built in heat sinks?

Looking through the MW2 manual I can't seem to figure out how many heat sinks are built into each engine. Playing MW 2 mercenaries if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Re: Run mercenaries on Vista with no DosBox?

Ok, I got it semiplayable turning down some options.

How does mechVM work? I tried looking but there's no technical info on it. Is it just a modified dosbox VM or is it a full engine? Will it be faster than the dosbox version? Will I need the actual CD and not just the disk image files? I bought ...

Run mercenaries on Vista with no DosBox?

I have windows vista ultimate, couldn't find my old disks so I got some cue and bin files and have been trying to get those to work.

I got the dos it to "work" in DosBox, but it's so slow it's unplayable, even with the lowest settings. Not sure how anyone else is playing on DosBox. I tried to get ...
