Use its [[ECM]] and Jump capability to draw near enemy forces and appear in their midst with guns blazing. Few battlemechs will survive being jumped by a Gladiator and the chassis is quite capable of absorbing enormous battle damage. Though it is often configured for long range operations, such as jump sniping, this wastes much of its natural agility. This is one of the few mechs that die-hard [[Thor]] pilots will gladly operate, as it allows the same type of operations in a much more powerful chassis. This is a dangerous mech fully capable of wreaking havok, even when critically damaged.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> |
|Weaknesses=With no glaring design weaknesses, the Gladiator can be a tough opponent. Though its legs are heavily armored, target them at long range to prevent a close approach. Do not allow this mech to penetrate deeply behind defensive lines as it will quickly disrupt such emplacements and allow allied units to approach while defenders are busy attempting to destroy it. It is usually configured with ECM, making it a tempting missile target if it can be spotted at range. Target the arms to destroy Omni slots and disable the bulk of its offensive firepower. Small, fast mechs can attempt to distract it in open ground while snipers and missile units engage it from a safe distance.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> | |Weaknesses=With no glaring design weaknesses, the Gladiator can be a tough opponent.
