Battletech Aircraft performence specs

And now for a some what different series heres a look at what B-tech Aircraft can do

You know how sites like Wikipedia have these specs on the pages on aircraft that list their specifications, like their empty mass and max take off weights, their speed and so on. Well I wondered If I could do that with Battletech aircraft, well going off their record sheets and the rules, it turns out you can get a fairly decent idea of what they could do, though the novels to mention a few times where fighters where flying at hypersonic velocitys (mach 5+) as low as 500m above the ground, though in general the fluff dose not spend much time on B-techs aircraft... at the lest it would seem they can go a bit faster than what the game would indicate and by extension these specs...

So technically what i'm presenting is not exactly canon, but is based off what their canon stats would indicate via the rules. Which is at the lest is as canon as the novels and fluff (and depending on context more so). So at the lest this should give a rough idea of what their performance capability's would be.

A few notes where the data comes from (Total warfare & Strategic operations mostly)
Mass: from listed weight of unit, Empty is devoid of fuel and ammo, if omni weapons as well, max take off is based off the rules for external bombs
The Power plant thrust is derived from the units acceleration rate and mass
Acceleration rate: comes from the units thrust points, in which 1 point is equal to 0.5Gs of thrust I.e. a Thrust of 5 would equal 2.5Gs of thrust
Climb rate: is taken from the Rules indicating that it takes two thrust points to climb one level of altitude using the capital scale which translates into 300m/s each level climbed
ceiling: As Aerospace fighters are capable of Single stage to orbit their ceilings is unlimited (atmospheric only units are limited to ~35,000 meters)
Flight speeds: the low comes from the fighter scale rules, used at low altitudes, and is derived from a single hex moved is equal to 50m/s (500m wide hex /10 seconds) with a max speed being 2x safe thrust, high is derived from the 18km wide hexes (and 60 second turns) used at higher altitudes and in space (though it's technically possible to fly at sea level using these rules) in general the max speed is the same but their are speed limits at various altitudes... The Mach numbers are for that altitude. Example a unit with a safe thrust of 5 can move up to 10 hexes in a single turn which would be 1,800 or 10,800kph respectively.
Ferry range: is derived from the units endurance and how fast it would be traveling at a economical velocity (typically 2,160kph which is the equivalent of two hexes of movement at "high altitude" rates, and that a unit can fly for XXX minutes at that velocity).
Delta V is based off the fact that each hex traveled in space is 300m/s of Delta V and most ASF have 3 to 5 tons of fuel or 240 or 400 thrust points multiplied by 300...
The space range is effectively max fuel with external and a continuous burn at economical ratings and how far it would of gone (Acell/decell profile) as B-tech units use brachistochrone trajectory's.


This is going to be a long post, I'll just post the light units of both the Houses and Clans for now, as it's getting a bit late, I'll likely post select units from the rest of the units I have done latter (to save space/readability), unless you want it all...
And I have not even done the fighters from the post 3070s

And so Here's we are.

Re: Battletech Aircraft performence specs

As I stated here's some of the rest, more select this time, first off are a couple of B-techs conventional (atmospheric only) aircraft, commonly found in Militia or civilian hands. Even here the performance is quite impressive, as you can see with the Meteors ferry range with droptanks (yes your reading that right thats twice around the Earth).

A few notes on B-tech weapons.
Autocannons are largely grouped by over all damage out put, so smaller caliber weapons can be seen along side larger ones if the damage is roughly equivalent, even so theirs some General groupings that have sown up.
AC-2s = 20 to 50mm
AC-5s = 40 to 120mm (the most varied of the systems), though 50 to 80mm is common
AC-10s = 75 to 100mm (80mm is most common)
AC-20 = 100 to 203mm (120mm is common)

Gauss Rifle: the most common (by more than twice) velocity statement in the novels and fluff is Hypersonic (Mach 5+) or over 1,720m/s at sea level, this includes the Heavy Gauss rifle.

One last thing fighter displays, from the write up in Tech manual, B-tech fighter pilots use a full up helmet mounted HUD (see the F-35 Lightning II for more info), with MFDs as back ups, using either a mini joystick (on older fighters) or using the pilots own subconscious mind to control the various menus (on newer fighters or Vintage SLDF units). However the Free Worlds league the old SLDF and likely the Clans have access to full up virtual reality displays (I.e. Hey where did my fighter go?).
