+1 Hit Defense?

[MidnightCoffee]

Title. Got a gyro that gives +1 hit defense, not sure what the means. Any help?

[Bloody]

as it says, give you 1 defense on any hit. Basically gives your mech a 5% less chance on each attack to succeed on you. There is a +3 which is very useful for your scout mech and your tank bulwark mech.

stability, probably..

There is no way a gyro can make you dodge attacks. A gryo is for stability.

there is no way battletech exists in our RL either. So just go with the game or don't .

It's a stat buff on a piece of gear. Real world doesn't really enter into it. There are gyros that improve stability but their descriptions all say something like -X% stab dmg or something.

Helping you Keep your balance would let you do more extensive evasive maneuvers.
Just to play devil's advocate and all that.

[Sentient_Toaster]

Yup.

And the stability ones are... not terribly remarkable, with IIRC a Gyro+ giving -10% stability damage, compared to a Gyro+ that gives +2 Hit Defense. (They really should have different names; if you own both, you need to check the description to distinguish. And there's a third Gyro also just named Gyro that's for melee attacks).

I put the hit defense gyros on all my mechs, works great when stacked with Jump Jetting around.

in Battletech lore.. between their gyro and the neurohelments pilots wear?

*mechs are able to sidestep attacks...

heck some have even been able to do handstands!

remember due to Myomer bundles (a metal muscles that contracted when current is applied...) mechs are actually set up a lot like.. humans..

interalstructure with myomer muscles laied out like human muscles. giving them a far better degree of movement then any Battletech based game has showen..

well the they can do all that without a gyro mod, because every mech already has a gyro.

Yes there are stability gyros for reducing stab dmg -10/-20/-30%

The gyro mod is an improved gyro design over the base model. Every mech has actuators too, but you can get arm/leg mods that give improved actuators.

Its still doesnt let a mech try out for the harlem globetrotters.
