✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a solid chunk of new 'Mechs to Skirmish – 29 variants total, so you'll have plenty of fresh options for custom battles
- Covers a mix of Star League, regular, and custom variants, giving you a taste of Classic BattleTech lore
- Small but dedicated following (10 endorsements) – the author clearly put effort into this for the niche it serves
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Skirmish mode – if you're into the campaign, this mod won't touch it
- Last updated in 2018 – might be outdated for the current game version, so expect potential compatibility issues
For BattleTech players who love Skirmish mode and want more 'Mech variety without touching the campaign. If you're a lore buff interested in Classic BattleTech variants, this is a nice addition. Skip if you're looking for campaign content or if you play the latest version and worry about mod compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only affects Skirmish, make sure you're in the Skirmish mode to see the new 'Mechs – they won't appear in campaign.
- Check the mod's file structure after download – if it's just a folder, place it in the game's mod directory; if it's a .pak, you might need to extract it.
- If you're on a newer game version, test the mod in a quick Skirmish match first to ensure it loads without errors.
