Battletech: Enforcer III Mercenary Commanders Thoughts From The Inner Sphere Episode 384

Thoughts from the Inner Sphere: is a series of videos talking about Battlemechs, tanks and tactics in the year 3060 Battletech Universe.
The videos will cover Battlemechs from the 3060 Technical Readout book.
We delve into the Enforcer III 50 Ton, a mech that is good for a short- or long-range fight. This mechs damage output is ok at short-range depending on the weapon loadout. It can provide some needed long range support operation for lance on the battlefield if used correctly.

I am mostly a Davion player and have other factions that I do player for OpFor’s. An Enforcer III has been on the shelf for 15 years in the Davion Calvery lance. This lance was updated in 3062 for a FedCom Civil War campaign that was enjoyable and rememberable. The Lance consisted of a Grasshopper, Jagermech III, Enforcer III, and Hellspown. The alt to this one would have a Victor, Jagermech, Dervish and 3025 Enforcer in reserve or sideboard. The Grasshopper or Jagermech has been swapped for a Victor on a regular basis depending on the game. I have changed the Enforcer III little in campaigns. At one point. Swapped out the UAC for a standard AC to be used with precision ammo. Interestingly they have made this a cannon variant. I always considered the Enforcer to be a medium ranged, direct fire support, mech. It’s tricky to consider the thing a sniper. Its more of a gunman with a 3/5 pilot for 1752 BV. The weapons on the mech are pretty good and the armor is front loaded. I agree when the Enforcer III is focused down often the XL engine or the ammo has killed it. Many players, much like myself, have preference to the older Enforcer and update the weapons and heatsinks. They could have done that in the 3050’s.

@@Magermh That's what I do like about the Enforcer III with the increased speed and mobility. If you're going to add XLFE, then increase the speed and mobility to help it stay alive. I'm totally behind taking the standard Succession Wars mechs and upgrading the equipment on board.

It's an Enforcer so I love it by default. Actually, it's a pretty darn good trooper still. I do think mostly an LBX would be a better fit, but I'm bias against UACs, a UAC is probably more lore correct and the flavor matters, I don't like to min max everything. Thanks for covering a fav!

[@Helcarexe26]

@maddermax3775 It's a fairly solid mech, I'm with you about wanting to have an LBX10 over an AC10 ultra

[@kathilmechworks4895]

Goes from a line trooper to a raider. I don't mind this upgrade at all, Is a lot better than many of the Enforcer regular upgrades and works pretty well with the likes of other Fedcom mediums and lights. I just wish the model wasn't so derpy.

[@Helcarexe26]

@kathilmechworks4895 That has a major plus for it, increasing the speed and mobility is needed with the advanced technologies.

Down range artillery for my army: first gun misses, second gun glances, third gun sticks.

[@Helcarexe26]

@richardwalker7518 Swapping out the ACU10 for a LBX10 and taking a extra ton saving for a TAG. Then smashing with that guided artillery 👀😁

[@richardwalker7518]

@ wow that is fun. Arty opens some holes and then go crit seeking with a shotgun. Was sitting in front of my 40K artillery guns when I posted. Solution with those ones is to add a character to reroll ones and then more guns.

[@Helcarexe26]

@@richardwalker7518 Exactly 💯 true 👍 blasting holes in the armor and following up with the big shotgun effects 😁

[@alexhurlbut]

Since FS produce cERLL, CMPL and have access to cDHS readily, a Dark Age Refit of 6M is possible; cERLL, RAC/5 with 3t of ammo plus CASE, a cMPL replacing the small laser and a C3 slave or a TAG.

[@Helcarexe26]

@@alexhurlbut That's a better option from the sound of it

[@alexhurlbut]

@@Helcarexe26 this only work with cDHS, otherwise you gotta to move one of the 2 IS DHSs to the other side torso.

[@Helcarexe26]

@@alexhurlbut If you're running with higher tech, then it's DHS all day long

[@matthewmarek1467]

Perfect timing on this one. I've been looking at the Filtvelt light/medium lance pack from Iron Wind, a fun selection of mechs (this one, plus a Toro, Valkyrie, and a Dervish). I like your custom model, like a more refined version of the 7X.

[@Magermh]

Good list of mechs and would be worth the money. The Toro has been praised to my ears by many players.

[@Helcarexe26]

@matthewmarek1467 Some good synergy is happening with those mechs, looking at how they can work in conjunction with others is a major plus ➕️

[@basicminiaturepainting]

That's a cool looking mech

[@Helcarexe26]

@basicminiaturepainting Thanks Justin, it has an interesting look to it
