Other Cataphracts can so I'm not sure why I can only put a STD Engine 210 in the CTF-4F? It doesn't even show up on the list available. The last STD Engine on my list I can see is the 255.

The reason is I have a spare 280 sitting around from another Cataphract and would like to load that one on.

Any ideas?

Different mechs have different engine limits, based on the sock engine rating.

The 4X has a lower max engine that all other CTFs.

check out Smurfy for engine ratings per variant: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/

It's based on the stock engine for that variant.

For heavy Mechs, the maximum engine rating is 1.2x the stock engine rating rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5

In other words, the 4x is only rated for ankle socks, while the other variants get full tube socks.

PGI is making us put socks on our mechs now?? When will the madness end?!?

thanks for the info and that link. it's very helpful.

cheers

See socks and garters will make the mechs invisible. You will not see foot prints or anything.

How many MC do the socks for the 4f cost? Are these required for the snow maps? Optional for Caustic?

No such mech as the CTF 4F. If I had to guess, I'd say that the reason you can't put a STD 280 in the 4F is because there is no 4F.

If, however, you are asking about the 4X, then the answer is that provided by the various other posters regarding the stock engine determining the range of up- and down-grades you can put in it.

I do recommend putting a 250 in, since that's the most efficient way to save weight and space on heat sinks while bumping up the speed a bit.

If you go with an XL then do the 255XL, weighs the same as a 250XL but gives a little more speed. ANd the 4X needs as much speed as it can get. Even with the 255 I find it too slow to enjoy playing.
