What does this Mod do?
Because the game does not have the rear firing mechanic from tabletop, all rear mounted weapons were changed to face forward. This allowed for more frontal firepower than these stock 'Mechs actually had. This mod changes the loadouts to have the specific weapons unusable. An enemy BattleMaster will now only be able to alpha you with four MLs, instead of six.
Running stock just got a little harder.
Requirement: Requires Modtek.
NOTE: Two versions are included, one for the standard game, and one for use with JustinKaseToo's "JK Variants" mod.
INSTALLATION
Extract the folder for the version you want from the .rar and navigate to your /BATTLETECH/Mods folder, so assuming you have Steam it'll be:
... /steamapps/common/BATTLETECH/Mods/
Stick the folder in there.
NOTE
This mod does not actually add rear firing weapons to the game. These are placeholders to keep stock Mechs stock and limit their frontal firepower. Do not expect to gain the ability to fire to the rear, I can't stress that enough.
