As a reminder, stealth type systems have no affect when installed on a super heavy mech.

Had to go dig out my IO book to find it, and their in the armor section was the rule i had forgotten. I think that IT is down right silly.

Is giving Super Heavies extra to-hit really all that game breaking? You are already off-setting any advantage by the inherent -1 to-hit. And its not like the system takes any less total critical space.

Its a silly reactionary action by the devs, just like forbidding ES, FF, and XLs on a LAM.

I don't think game balance is the source of that rule. I think it's a rule to support the feel of the setting. The idea being "they're just too big to hide."

I dunno, maybe. But then the idea of hiding any Mech outside of an urban or very hot heavy growth environment is silly. Like, its within the universe that with proper refitting, you can chameleon-null-sig an Atlas out of sensor site.
