Annihilator ANH-1A is an Assault-class mech in Battletech.

Description

The Annihilator is an extremely rare 'Mech that is essentially a mobile siege tower. It can kick out more damage than almost any other unit on the field. It's unbelievably slow, though, and poorly armored for its size.

Strategy

The 100 ton ANH-1A has anywhere between 52.75 - 76.5 tons available for use depending on how much armor you add on to it. This makes it the #2 mech in available tonnage for use, beating out the Highlander 732-B which only has 43.88 - 65 tons available depending on armor.

  • For reference the Atlas and King Crab, two 100 ton mechs, only have 41.25 - 65 tons available depending on armor.

Adding to the godliness of the Annihilator is its unique BSC System mounted on its center torso, which adds +20% Ballistic Dmg and +40 max stability.

You can buy this mech at the black market on Itrom, or put it together from pieces (though it is very rare to see).

Loadout

Default loadout 340 damage: 4 AC/10, 4 AC/10 ammo, 4 M Lasers and 8 heatsinks. Heat efficiency: alpha strike 96 heat, heat sinking 54 heat.

Extreme range sniper: 2 x Gauss Rifles, 4 x Gauss ammo, 3 x LB 2-X, 2 x LB 2-X ammo, TTS +3 ballistic accurracy, TTS +2 ballistic accuracy. Optional: for additional damage and the need to close in range, equip 2 x ER M Lasers.

Long range assault: 2 x UAC/10, 6 x AC/10 ammo, 3 x LB 2-X, 2 x LB 2-X ammo, 5 x heat sink [D], TTS +3 ballistic accurracy, TTS +2 ballistic accuracy.

Close range assault: 2 x UAC/20, 8 x UAC/20 ammo, 1 x LB 2-X, 1 x LB 2-X ammo, 2 ER S Laser, 8 x heat sink [D], 2 x exchanger++.

Extreme Ranged Assault: 8 AC/5 ammo in legs, 5 UAC/5++'s, 8 D heat sinks, TTS++ (ballistic, 1 ton), maximum armor, gyro (hit defense) coms system+++, 0.75 unusable tonnage. Firepower rating: 14 (+20% due to BSC). Heat Efficiency: 10. Durability: 11.

Maximum Range Support: Filling the ballistic slots with 5 of the UAC/2++ autocannon lets this mech pump out 420 damage to a regular range of 480 meters and a maximum of 720 meters. Eight bins of AC/2 ammo let it fire twenty full salvos per mission. Adding a TTS+++ (+3 Ballistic accuracy), a pair of jump jets, and maximized armor still leaves another 14.75 tons free. These can be filled out with a mix of heat sinks as well as some small & medium lasers if you're worried about this mech getting cornered (although the UAC/2++ autocannon's minimum range of 120 meters can be lowered to just 30 meters if the pilot has the right skills).
