| + | {{Mech Description | ||
| + | |Description=One of the best missile Mechs in the Inner Sphere arsenal, the Catapult excels in a fire support role. Its ability to mount [[equipment#Jump Jets|Jump Jets]] help it escape dangerous situations. | ||
| + | |Strengths=The Catapult is best deployed in support roles, where its [[missiles]] can be used for area denial operations. A potent direct fire threat as well, with 8 [[Weapon Hardpoint|energy]] slots, the Catapult can defend itself if necessary. [[Jump Jets|Jump]] capability gives this mech the ability to perform pop-ups from behind cover, making counter fire difficult for advancing units. It has just enough speed to make it a suitable flanking unit, and can be very disruptive to enemy rear areas in this role.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/catapult.htm Technical Reference Manual]</ref> | ||
| + | |Weaknesses=With high mounted missile launchers, the Catapult must expose a large portion of itself to achieve hard target lock, this makes the launchers quite vulnerable, especially to direct fire weapons such as [[Gauss Rifle]]s and large energy weapons. Its sluggish performance limits its use as a fighter, and places it at a disadvantage if an agile combat unit can infiltrate its area of operation. The center torso is not an easy target, but the legs are vulnerable due to its poor agility.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/catapult.htm Technical Reference Manual]</ref> | ||
