| |

| |
| - | ==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.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | == Tactical Analysis ==
| |
| - | '''Strengths'''<br>
| |
| - | The Catapult is best deployed in support roles, where it's missiles can be used for area denial operations. A potent direct fire threat as well, with 8 energy slots, the Catapult can defend itself if necessary. 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'''<br>
| |
| - | 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 Rifles and large energy weapons. It's sluggish performance limits it's use as a fighter, and places it at a disadvantage if an agile combat unit can infiltrate it's area of operation. The center torso is not an easy target, but the legs are vulnerable due to it's poor agility.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/catapult.htm Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
