Oh I just realised how that might sound considering it says I live in Belgium. I'm from the UK though, so I'm just poking fun at myself for the most part

But I thought you were one of the sensible ones?

Well.. I like to still have a little bit of quirkiness with a nutty flavour. But yeah I'm not a football hooligan who goes on holiday to throw white plastic chairs at people if you know what I mean ;-)

Those are weapons, I'm not gonna bother with special equipment for now.

The IS had Ultra AC-5s in 3035 (the other Ultra ACs are reverse-engineered from Clan examples in 3057 (-2 and -10) and 3060 (-20)).

The entry for the Binary Laser Cannon states that prototypes were developed in 2812 and "with the re-introduction of double heat sinks {3041}, the Blazer cannon is now a viable weapon".

Mech Mortars were developed by the Terran Hegemony (pre-Star League) and "with the reintroduction of the Anti-Missile System {3040} engineers revived the Mech Mortar concept".

It's been a while so I could be mistaken but I recall the Thunderbolt depositing a mine field rather than acting as a MIRV launcher.

Thunder LRMs are mine-layers, and aren't re-introduced to the IS until 3052.
Thunderbolt Missiles are fired as single large missiles with the range of MRMs, are noted for being cumbersome and highly vulnerable to AMS fire, and aren't deployed in the IS until 3053 (3072 for the improved -5, -10, -15, and -20 variants).
