The '''Laser Anti-Missile System''', or '''LAMS''', consists of one or more automated defense turrets that target and shoot down any enemy [[Missiles]] and [[Long Tom Artillery|Artillery]] that fall into its range. Utilizing a rapid-fire [[Lasers#Pulse Lasers|Pulse Laser]], it is capable of destroying an [[Missiles#Long-Range Missiles|LRM]] in a single shot, but multiple shots are needed to destroy the much larger and more powerful [[ArrowIV]].

It should be noted that the visible laser beam from LAMS isn't where actual damage is delivered. LAMS has nearly 100% accuracy and instant aiming mechanics. It's unrelated to the effect the player can see. The reason for this is the difficulty in properly aligning the visual effects, due to engine limitations.

Asset-mounted LAMS will not shoot down [[Thunderbolt]]s, [[bomb]]s, or the [[Long Tom Artillery]] projectile.

==Overview==
 +
If you like it hot, this is the map for you. Inferno features the highest [[heat]] floor of any map in the game at a staggering 225 degrees. Assets with loadouts that cause sharp heat spikes are often unusable, and even some cooler-running assets will struggle with the reduced heat capacity available. A very important thing to note is that while the heat floor is very high, heat dissipation is '''not''' impacted signficantly. Your heat sinks will work largely as they would on most other maps. Flamers are very popular on Inferno and can be quite effective when deployed in a large brawl.
  
==LAMS Base Turret==
+
The map features numerous lava pools and flows, which will rapidly overheat your asset and kill you should you fall into them. Use the map and zoom in if you are still learning the map's layout as it can save you from a frustrating death in this manner.
Bases are also protected by larger, stationary version of LAMS. These turrets feature much greater range than standard LAMS, and are also able to shoot down incoming and outgoing Long Tom shells, Thunderbolts, and bombs, unlike the standard mobile version of LAMS. These turrets shoot down both friendly and enemy missiles and artillery, resulting in sometimes severe damage to units attempting camping from base.
 
  
==History==
+
Inferno is a very center-based map, due to the 3.0x capture zone at the central caldera. This capture zone is effectively shaped like a large donut, meaning that the entire caldera must be clear of opposing players in order to flip the zone. The size of the capture zone allows for stalling/blocking tactics not commonly found on other maps, especially with [[Battle Armor]]. Brawls are frequent, though sniping from the high ground using [[Gauss Rifle]]s is an effective tactic too.
AMS was added to MWLL in version 0.2.0, though in 0.3.0 it was renamed to its canon designation, the LAMS. Version 0.3.0 also added the LAMS Base Turrets.
 
  
==Canon==
+
The side bases on Inferno, which only allow buying & repairing up to 65t 'Mechs plus the [[Warhammer]] and [[Nova Cat]], have been known to break when a 'Mech goes critical inside the bay, which can vastly alter the game flow of a typical Inferno game. As a result, Inferno is not often included in [[Terrain Control]] map rotations. Repair bays can be found at C5 and F4, however your team will have to supply an [[APC]] to enable reloading ammo at these locations.
Typical BattleTech AMS utlize short-range, rapid-firing [[Machine Gun]]s; however, what is currently implemented in [[MWLL]] is the Laser Anti-Missile System, which uses a compact Pulse Laser - when firing, it could develop relatively large amounts of waste heat, forcing equipped [[Mechs]] and [[Vehicles]] to manage it well or install additional [[HS|Heat Sinks]]. The advantage of LAMS is that it does not require ammunition, making it capable of defending the equipped unit during long battles.

"When Clan Wolf clusters invaded Satalice, Oeverste MacGalliard used guerrilla tactics in an attempt to disorganize the clanners. This strategy was thwarted by Clan aerospace supremacy, reducing mobility and leaving no place to hide. Recent volcanic activity has turned the terrain into a unique and unforgiving battlefield."

Overview

If you like it hot, this is the map for you. Inferno features the highest heat floor of any map in the game at a staggering 225 degrees. Assets with loadouts that cause sharp heat spikes are often unusable, and even some cooler-running assets will struggle with the reduced heat capacity available. A very important thing to note is that while the heat floor is very high, heat dissipation is not impacted signficantly. Your heat sinks will work largely as they would on most other maps. Flamers are very popular on Inferno and can be quite effective when deployed in a large brawl.

The map features numerous lava pools and flows, which will rapidly overheat your asset and kill you should you fall into them. Use the map and zoom in if you are still learning the map's layout as it can save you from a frustrating death in this manner.

Inferno is a very center-based map, due to the 3.0x capture zone at the central caldera.

The size of the capture zone allows for stalling/blocking tactics not commonly found on other maps, especially with Battle Armor. Brawls are frequent, though sniping from the high ground using Gauss Rifles is an effective tactic too.

The side bases on Inferno, which only allow buying & repairing up to 65t 'Mechs plus the Warhammer and Nova Cat, have been known to break when a 'Mech goes critical inside the bay, which can vastly alter the game flow of a typical Inferno game. As a result, Inferno is not often included in Terrain Control map rotations. Repair bays can be found at C5 and F4, however your team will have to supply an APC to enable reloading ammo at these locations.
