Big slow arty tanks are always going to be a primary target. Although using them as a simimobile pillbox or fortress kinda makes sense.

Ran into a couple of Gulltoppers escorting some super heavies in Rogue tech. What a damn nightmare that was.

6:45 looking at that picture of the artillery, next you should do a review on an infantry 60mm mortar at the small end of the scale :).

The Destrier reminds me of the sort of ridiculously massive megatanks that you'd see in an old school vertical arcade shoot 'em up, like Raiden or Truxton.

Can you make a Superheavy vehicle in battletech I seen ppl design vehicles which are not canon.I would love to see if ppl can design non canon superheavies and if there is a site where I can check it out

[Peter_Morris]

I like to think that the German railway cannons and the Atomic Annies are the forebears of these monster vehicles. I knew about them from perusing sarna.net, but I think your video has more info than those stubs.

Some how "Ambush" and "200 tons" don't sound like they should go together...

[spacewolfblackmane]

These are awesome I hope these things have/get a modle and stats

Hello YouTube algorithm. Dem some BIG tanks. The anti infantry turrets are about the size of a person.

[Dahau]

New options to me, was never really into vehicle for BATTLEMECH ;)

[UCSPanther]

It would be funny if the Lyran Commonwealth built two superheavy tanks called the "Maus" and the "Ratte". Germany tried building something similar during WWII, but both were failures. The Maus never made it past the prototype stage, and the Ratte was never built.

[jasonulysess]

The third one can road kill Battlemechs?

[jasonulysess]

The third ones windows are 15 feet tall!

[foff]

So much bad idea since the rules a made to prop up mechs over conventional vehicles.

Guy's doing nothing but reading straight off the Sarna page.
