ShadowDragon8685 posted:I hate to have to say this, but from a 'mech design standpoint, there should be a valid argument for using fuel-based flamers instead of plasma-tap flamers. Of course, I'm willing to accept the idea of flamers creating heat in the wielder as an aspect of game balance. I just wanted to make it clear that we're leaving real physics behind to do so.

The ice is condensation that breaks off when the engines fire and start the whole thing rattling, it's nothing fancy. I am required by space nerd law to tell you that both you and Bobbin are incorrect, although for different reasons (and you less so). The reason a tank gets cold as its contents are used is because the contents are under pressure. Due to Boyle's Law, as you drop the pressure in the tank, the contents get colder. Boyle's Law posted:For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one doubles, the other halves). Since we're discussing a tank full of a material that at normal Earth-atmospheric pressures is a gas, in order to convert it into a liquid the substance is pressurized. Now, liquid oxygen (for example) is indeed very cold, but that's because it has a boiling point of 90.2 Kelvin. Once you fill a pressurized cylinder with it, though, you can (in theory) hold enough pressure that the tank can sit at room tempurature no problem. That includes its contents. In practice, rocket design typically has the tanks held at very low temperature - just above boiling point - because that means they can operate at much lower (and much safer) pressurization. This is why while the Shuttle is sitting on the pad ready to go, you see so much vapor swirling around - liquid fuels are constantly boiling in the tanks, the excess vapor is vented off, and since it's super-cold, water vapor instantly forms and you get clouds. However, getting back to the point: even a tank at room tempurature (like, say, a can of compressed air, or a tank of propane used for a BBQ) will become very very cold as you start to use the fuel. Referring back to Boyle's Law, since you are not keeping the temperature constant (you are instead keeping the pressure constant, as liquid contents boil to replace gaseous contents being allowed to escape), and you are also keeping volume constant (the volume of the tank is not shrinking or growing), the variable for temperature must change. Hence: if you had a tank of flamer fuel that is pressurized from a gas into a liquid, and you are venting off the gas to burn for the flamer, then yeah, the tank will get cold as the liquid is forced to boil to bring the gas back up to temperature, and the liquid therefore "steals" energy from outside the tank to warm back up. It can even be problematically cold: if it gets cold enough, you drop below the boiling point of the fuel and it no longer evaporates and your flamer stops working. Super-cold temperatures must also be accounted for in places like valve design. So you are right that the contents of the shuttle orbiter tanks and the external tank for the shuttle rockets are kept cold, but they actually get colder as the liquid fuel is burned off during launch, and that's why huge chunks of ice form on the outside and then fall off during launch. (The solid rocket boosters have no such problem of course). Anyway: hydrazine is great rocket fuel (because it has its own oxidizer) but it's extremely dangerous to handle (because it has its own oxidizer). Much more dangerous than a two-tank solution (a tank of fuel and a tank of oxidizer, which are combined in the nozzle). If you puncture a tank of propane it will not spontaneously explode, because there's no oxygen inside the tank to burn. If you puncture a tank of hydrazine, any spark can cause all the gas inside the tank to instantly detonate. As for venting plasma: This would definitely cool the reactor chamber if you were actually robbing it of plasma, but I don't know how they theorize the design. Much bigger of a problem though is the question of the plasma's density. A modern Tokamak experimental fusion reactor has a plasma at two or three million degrees, held magnetically away from the walls of the chamber... but if you allowed that plasma to cool to room temperature, it wouldn't fill a child's helium balloon. So, unless the Mechs are using super-dense material for plasma, it's poo poo for burning stuff with because it'd instantly dissipate as you vented it. All of which goes to the actual point, which is, Mech flamers work in space for exactly the same reason mech armor makes sense: convenience, and nothing more. Mech lasers aren't really lasers, mech machine guns aren't really machine guns, and so on. It's a magical universe in which physical laws don't just fail to match our own, they aren't even internally consistent. Who cares, the game is fun, and that's all that matters.

Leperflesh posted:Daaaaaaaamn boy-o. Are you like, channeling Dr. Muk? That said, I think the internal explanation for why shooting off a plasma flamer heats up the 'mech is that the heat scale in your 'mech isn't the temperature of your reactor so much as it is the temperature of everything which is not your reactor. IE, by venting hot plasma through the 'mech, through all the tubes to the emitter nozzles, some of the energy from that super-hot plasma is getting deposited as heat on the inside of the tubes, which is then getting transmitted from your series of tubes into the inside of your 'mech, next to things like, say, your targeting gear, your myomer, and your precious explosive ammunition; you know, places where you don't want heat being deposited.

They work in space because it's Battletech and it's magic. Yeah that really makes far more sense. The fusion reactor seems to provide a more or less limitless supply of usable energy, so just sucking in some air and superheating it enough that electrons can't hang on, and you get a plasma of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon nucleii plus a bunch of pissed off electrons and probably a shitload of energy too, from stripping all that stuff loose. Spew it out a hole and you have a jet of hot to hose things down with. Of course, the technology to do such a thing is fantastic and far beyond anything we can do today (just handling containment of the plasma...!) but who cares, it's way cooler than just carrying around a tank of napalm that can run out, and that means no ammo tracking for flamers. E. OH yeah I just remembered a really cool detail. The space shuttle actually cycles fuel through little pipes in the engine nozzles. This cools the engine nozzles so they don't melt, and it also warms the fuel so it doesn't get below boiling temperature and stop working. Sooooo... the Space Shuttle literally uses its jump jets as fuel warmers to keep them working. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 00:28 on May 30, 2011 |

In practice mechs are a lot easier to find. The infantry can use other units (planes, mechs, etc) as spotters and remain hidden, as well. It goes both ways, of course, but it's in the infantry's favor. It's a lot easier to get in close and ruin someone's day when environment is one big hiding place.

You have to take into account, however, that men are cheap and easily replaced, but if a platoon ambushes a 'Mech and takes it out, they've just made a big dent in the enemy force. You can fill a city block with a whole lot of infantry. Plus infantry can walk in an out of buildings with ease, while 'Mechs have to smash through them or walk on top of them.

Artificer posted:Doesn't that mean the infantry are just as likely to suddenly happen upon a mech with its guns pointing at them? In theory, yes. But in practice infantry have several HUGE advantages. 1) Only infantry can attack at range 0. Mechs can try and step on infantry/tanks at that range, but can not shoot. Infantry, on the other hand, can unleash their guns AND do all kinds of horrible anti-mech fuckery that can and will absolutely ruin a mech's day. It only gets worse at later tech levels. 2) Mechs hiding in buildings is difficult. They take a piloting roll to avoid damage when moving inside, and doing so severely restricts their mobility. Infantry moves through buildings like they weren't there and require no checks to avoid damage by doing so. That plus infantry's inherent protection versus most mech weapons means that a platoon hiding in a heavy building can soak a crazy amount of damage with minimal trouble. 3) Similarly, infantry have that inherent damage reduction that protects them well from surprise long range encounters. Your mech accidentally runs into a Warhammer at mid range in a city, you're getting 20 points of PPC put into your rear end and you're rolling to see if you fall over. If you don't, you still have to pray there's a good retreat avenue in the streets. Infantry can't be knocked down, only takes 4 points instead of 20 before reducing for building protection, and is usually 100% guaranteed of having an escape route out of LOS. 4) The primary shortcoming of infantry is their low range and poor mobility. In an urban environment, they have much better mobility via moving through buildings and the ease of creating LOS blocks means they can negate their range issue when played well. It also lets them use their biggest advantage - low cost. A platoon of foot infantry soaks up around 80 BV. A cheap 20 ton mech will cost you 500 BV. 6 SRM infantry platoons can unload 90 damage a turn into that mech at up to range 6 - keep in mind your 20 tonner can only have a maximum of 102 points of armor and internal combined. The infantry will usually vaporize the mech in one salvo. Infantry in close combat situations, particularly urban ones, are insanely deadly. They're just tricky to use and have much less viability outside their niche.

C3 Unknown Heavy gains 1 heat! 0 heat builds up! Physical Combat Phase: End Phase: Next Turn’s Movement Phase “Six,” Acolyte Gwenhwyfar Kerwyn called, “we are being flanked.” A Terra native, she’d been born into ComStar’s legacy—the Word of Blake flowed through her mind like the blood flowing through her veins. So immersed was she in ComStar’s culture that she wouldn’t have hesitated to give up the blood before she gave up the Word. That was why she had volunteered for this. The most humanoid ‘Mech ever constructed, her Wyvern was a technological marvel—but most considered it a showpiece rather than a functioning combat unit. It was slow for its weight, heavily armored and armed with a mix of weapons that made it a death sentence to a light raider. Unfortunately, it was ill-suited to combating heavy designs. It was also extremely rare, which was probably fortunate since most civilians felt the design fell square into the uncanny valley. In Gwenhwyfar’s skilled hands, the Wyvern’s inherently humanlike motions were so smooth they seemed almost natural. She rotated her ‘Mech’s head for a better look at the approaching Clan design. “It’s a Phoenix Hawk, I think. Heavily modified, barely recognizable.” It was—a bizarre V-shaped head sat on a streamlined torso—the left arm ended in a hand and a cluster of what she assumed were the machineguns which had most likely silenced the jumptroops. The right ended in the barrel of a large energy weapon—probably a laser, but with the stories she’d heard of the Clans it could’ve been something more exotic like a Gauss Rifle. She could pick out few real details—the lack of diffused light would make detecting any fine details difficult on this side of the ship. Fortunately, thermals could compensate, but they never told the whole story and that had her nervous. There was something strange about fighting a completely unknown design, and with all the stories she'd heard about the Clan's 'Mechs... “Understood, three.” came Vandal’s measured reply. “Design is unknown. Make no assumptions—it may look like a Phoenix Hawk, but it might not fight like one. We have a Guillotine and a—Grasshopper, I think, up here. Try to keep that Phoenix Hawk from coming too close.” Enemy Forces: C1 Guillotine?: walked 3 to hex 0201! C2 Phoenix Hawk?: walked 5 to hex 1205! C3 Grasshopper?: walked 4 to hex 0202!
