Beagle Active Probe
Beagle Active Probe are excellent reconnaissance tools. Their main use is to reveal hidden units before they can initiate a surprise attack. They cannot detect infantry or mines, or penetrate ECM suites, however. All Recon Mechs should carry a Beagle Active Probe. It is also a good idea to mount a Beagle Probe on Combat and Assault 'Mechs in case they lead an advance into enemy territory. As an added bonus, the Beagle Active Probe extends a BattleMech's line of sight from 1000 meters to 1500 meters. Bloodhound Active Probe The Bloodhound Active Probe has a longer range and greater detection capabilities than the Beagle. It can even defeat the Guardian ECM suite. The Bloodhound weighs much more than the Beagle, however, and may be too heavy to mount on some light 'Mechs. Therefore, the Bloodhound should only be used on 'Mechs designed with a strong emphasis on reconnaissance. Use the Beagle Probe on other 'Mechs that won't be doing as much recon duty. Guardian ECM Suite The Guardian ECM Suite nullifies any Artemis IV, Beagle, NARC, or C3 system used within or passing through its 6 hex area of effect. It is an extremely valuable defensive system and should be carried on all Recon 'Mechs. It is also suitable for all other Mech types as it protects them from Artemis, NARC directed missiles and detection by Beagle Probes. It provides no protection however, against Bloodhound or Clan Watchdog probes or Clan targeting computers. Angel ECM Suite The Angel ECM Suite weighs as much as the Guardian ECM Suite, but also counters Streak missiles, Bloodhound and Watchdog probes, and Clan targeting computers. |
