Engineering Assessment

Field Notes

Field Notes

Liftcore Thrustmark 4 exhaust vibration disrupts Firelink 3 target acquisition during airborne phases.

FSM-10 lock-on degrades significantly mid-jump. After landing, the Firelink requires a brief recalibration window before accurate missile engagement is possible.

Pilots who fire immediately after touchdown report consistent spread deviation on the first salvo.

Technical Notes

The Bolistes holds back, waits for line of sight, and punishes anything that moves into the open.

The FSM-10 gives it reach that most light mechs cannot answer, while the SBW covers the gap when enemies close distance.

Best deployed behind faster scouts who mark targets and draw fire.
