No my friend this time i'm really sure the Naginata was the first mech with C3-Master first introduced with the TRO 3055

Oh, my bad, I wasn't looking at the base model, the date I tossed out was on the -C3C model.

The Master Unit List has all of the unit availability dates, BTW. It's quite useful.

Thanks a lot for this, I was looking for a something like this (unrelated to the TT)

Alrighty, thanks for all the input. Looks like I'll have to take another look at some of this set up to make this work.

If you are looking for a C3 mech for that final lance, since it has so much firepower you need a mech that is fast and can get in close to really make the lance unit effective. I have played with a wicked combo for the DC by going with the Venom and a Gunslinger combo. The model for the Venom is the SDR-9KC see link below.

Yes it's a light mech for the lance, but the speed and 8 jump make it so darn hard to hit. 8 hexes jumping is an automatic +4 to hit for anyone. But that gives you enough of a chance to get a quick early use of the C3 system quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if by the second turn your lance is firing from short range with help from the C3 system in the Venom.

Good hunting.

Hrm... This kinda brings up a good point. I kinda wonder if I shouldn't build in some redundancy by tossing a recon mech in the Fire support lance and a fire support mech in the recon lance just in case the company commander (whether it's the Tai-sho or whatever single C3M mech I have hold the company together in a Config. 1 setup) loses his computer.

another suggestion your C3-spotter should really have ECM for counter ECM
when the Company Master falls it isn't a bad idea to have lances that can work on their own--- like the idea

Yeah, I've actually really wanted to do this, but I don't believe there's any mechs that can fill this role in the time frame I'm building for. I'll probably have a Komodo in the Combine/Ghost Bear War version of the unit though, along with a Tessen.
