On the other hand, if you look on the ELRM15 launcher as a spare weapon, and use the two ERPPC as a primary group each, putting the four AC2 in the tertiary group, forgoing any [[DPS]] plan in favor of opportune lucky strikes by either single ERPPC jolt or "Alpha" shooting form a totally cold state, you might actually secure a kill steal from an unsuspected angle. This implies superb position seeking and that extrasensory feeling for the battle tide.<br>

The Warhammer is a heavily armed and moderately armored Inner Sphere Heavy Mech, possessing modest speed and maneuverability. Able to dish it out and take it in, the Warhammer is a powerful force on the battlefield, capable of shredding Light Mechs and Vehicles, as well as standing toe to toe against other Heavies.

Warhammer's large spotlight can be turned on with the [L] key. It functions differently than the standard Mech spotlights, as it has a much longer range. When fighting Battle Armor in the Warhammer, players can turn on the spotlight to discern the battlearmor from the surroundings. The Mech also has a narrow vertical field of view, which may make it hard to deal with Aerospace fighters and VTOLs.


Roles and Gameplay Hints

Prime

Inexpensive twist fighter and tanker. Good at pushing and holding objectives.

Player Comments:
Unique Warhammer with a Standard engine giving low damage transfer. Chain fire PPCs to improve its already decent heat capacity or to spread out screen shake. Can operate for a long time without ammo resupply.
- Warlord Kentax


Variant A

Fire-support asset. Prone to staring, dependent on allies to tank and distract enemies at medium-range, dependent on screen shake when staring in close-combat.

Player Comments:
Group-fire the LPLs until the yellow line, then using a second weapon group, chain-fire them to avoid overheat. Chain-fire the SSRMs to maximize screen-shake and conserve its limited ammo in close combat.
- Warlord Kentax


Variant B

Good at suppressing snipers in open terrain. Can lead a push onto an objective if needed.

Player Comments:
Chain-fire the HVAC10s to suppress enemies more effectively. Buy HVAC10 ammo for all 4 free tons.
- Warlord Kentax


Variant C

Somewhat stealthy, good at pushing and holding objectives. Offers better Screen Shaking, anti-LRM and scouting support capabilities, and battlefield awareness than similar brawlers.

Player Comments:
Chain-fire the LPPCs to increase screen shake. Even though the "C" has GECM, go passive in order to turn off the LAMS if you really need to hide
- Warlord Kentax


Variant D

Excellent generalist. Good at both brawling and skirmishing.

Player Comments:
Prepare an extra mouse button for chain-firing the LLs when in close-combat or on hot maps. Remember to lead the TBolt shots in close-combat.
- Warlord Kentax


Variant E

Operates best as a skirmisher. Burst damage-focused with damage spreading capabilities. Good at targeting individual components like arms.

Player Comments:
- Warlord Kentax


Variant F

Terrifying brawler, highly effective at overheating or distracting enemies and eliminating BA.

Player Comments:
Works best between 60-150m. Watch out for enemies coming within the MRM30's minimum range. Buy 1 ton of MRM ammo and 2 tons of RAC ammo.
- Warlord Kentax


Variant G

Dedicated sniper. Poor performance at close-range. Good choice for wide open maps.

Player Comments:
Chain-fire the ERPPCs to prevent overheating. Prepare a second button for chain-firing the AC2s for fighting BA.
- Warlord Kentax


Canon

The Warhammer BattleMech was introduced by StarCorps Industries in 2515 to be "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severely damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower." In the mission it was designed for, the Warhammer proved to be a very capable 'Mech, and for centuries practically defined the entire class of heavy 'Mechs. Boasting incredible firepower and respectable armoring, the Warhammer served prominently in the Star League Defense Force and was one of the premier 'Mechs in the Gunslinger Program. Indeed, many of the greatest MechWarriors in history were Warhammer pilots. Being more lightly armored then other mechs of its class, the Warhammer preferred to stay at range where its weaponry was most effective. In addition to PPCs, SRMs, and Lasers, it had two machine guns for defense against infantry. Date Introduced 2515 during the Era known as "Age of War" (2005 - 2570) - Unit Role: Brawler

Amongst BT fans, the Warhammer, along with other Mechs designed for the Macross Anime series, is referred as the Unseen. Another Unseen Mech (which was originally planned to appear in MWLL) is the Marauder.
