The Grenades Launchers, and the compact grenade launchers on the Mauser 1200 LSS, are there both as an AoE weapon and as a utility, for smoke munitions (or anything else you can load into them). The Mauser 1200 LSS was chosen because I was imagining this strafing infantry, and partly because I needed to use up weight. It's designed as an omni so it's weapons can be configured differently.
It's low speed was chosen to match battle armor speeds, since it was intended to accompany those squads, I felt saving the weight would be more useful than a faster engine and though speed could improve the design, I feel satisfied with it's low speed. I think it's performance is actually higher than the original gun drone's though, due to the variety and usefulness of grenades in battletech.ĭesigned to to accompany battle armored troops into battle, the Enforcer drone is a tiny, slow moving VTOL, with an armored shell that renders it all but immune to small arms fire thanks to it's BAR 10 and the properties of Ferro-Lamellor armor. I didn't originally post this as the Tau Gun Drone, but I designed it shortly after the Crisis, Stealth, and Broadside suits, and very much had the Tau Gun drone in mind as I put it together.

Those variants use some of that space to install sizable bomb bays as well, often outfitted with anti-ship missiles. Some Mantas have been known to pull the vehicle bays out in favor of increased conventional infantry and battle armor space. It can deploy it's whole force in a single turn. This DropShuttle can deploy a sizable combined arms force of battle armor, conventional infantry, and tanks, escpecially for how small it is. It is small enough that cargo vehicles can move it about, allowing a warship to carry many and refill DropShuttle Bays as Mantas launch, in order to prep the next for launch, allowing a Tau Warship to carry surprising numbers of these vessels. This DropShuttle is small enough to be carried internally by a warship and launched through DropShuttle Bays, but bigger than a small craft.
It carries heavy enough fire power to do small amounts of damage to a warship, but not be a credible threat to one on it's own. Small enough to be difficult to target with warship weapons, but big enough to deploy a sizable force. *This Dropship does not have the components to connect to a K-F Boom equipped Docking Hardpoint, and needs a Dropshuttle Bay in order to be transported.Ī DropShuttle used by the Tau Empire for many uses.

I included enough room for a 10 man squad and a pair of the gun drones I have previously posted, even though it isn't technically legal to carry the gun drones in an infantry bay. The primary troop tranpost for firewarrior squads. Designed primarily to counter the heavy infantry deployed by the Imperium and the Orks, the much thicker armor and heavy firepower, allowed it to be as effective and overwhelming as a tank.
