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 [[VTOL]]s.

The Warhammer E is a medium range [[poking]] mech. All of its main weapons deal high [[burst damage]] with a relatively low [[DPS]]. Because of this, the E's two [[AC5]], two [[ERLL]]s, and one [[LBX10]] should be fired optimally at their combined maximum [[range]] of 700m. The E is a good low-[[heat]] option for hot maps since it has three [[DHS]], more than enough to deal with its weapons' heat. Once the E is in [[brawler|brawling]] range, all of its weapons, with the exception of its two [[SL]]s, are best suited towards a damage spreading [[twist fight]], and [[staring]] should be avoided.

The Warhammer is a slow, well-armored heavy 'mech with a diverse set of loadouts including brawlers, skirmishers, generalists, and snipers. Generally a good choice for tanking.

Roles and Gameplay Hints

Prime

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

Player Comments:
Equipped 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. Standard engine improves durability.

Player Comments:
Group-fire the LPLs until the yellow line, then using a second weapon group, chain-fire them to avoid overheat.
- Warlord Kentax


Variant B

Good sniper effective at suppressing other 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

Very high alpha strike, excellent at poking. Works best as a skirmisher.

Variant D

Excellent Brawler. It's two PPCs give it some skirmishing ability, too.

Player Comments:
Chain fire the PPCs to maximize screen shake.
- 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. Four Free Tons support the ammo-hungry RAC5s.

Player Comments:
Works best between 60-150m. Watch out for enemies coming within the MRM20's minimum range.
- 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.

The Warhammer Armor: Durallex Ballistic-Reinforced Armor, was developed by the Draconis Combine in 3131 as a response to autocannon and missile weapons. The armor is a combination of Hardened and Reactive Armor that reduce damage taken from ballistic and missile weapons. The armor is also known as "reinforced" armor, but many techs use the term "hardened light" to describe it. A thinner version of hardened armor is backed by cable mesh that warps and traps missile and ballistic ammunition.

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.
