RogueTech and DLCs

[Zomboss]

Hi guys! I'm thinking about meet with RT and want to ask your advices about official DLCs. I don't have any one of them now. And I think: If DLCs all adds new mechs and weapons, do I need it, if RT gives tons mechs and weapons anyway? Do DLCs have something special, outstanding of RT's capability? Is there some "must have" DLCs for playing RT?

DLC are not required for RT, but they do add significant content. All DLC mechs require the dlc to use and there are a ton of flashpoints you will be missing without them.

Flashpoints - yeah, I want it. But I saw what "RT - Adds nearly every single unit that exists in the whole BattleTech lore". Don't it include analogs of DLC's mechs? And looks like in RT tons of new weapons. Don't RT include analogs of DLC's weapons too? What I will miss?

RT has things like the lbx and ultra ACs and the rest of the lostech the dlcs added. We also make extensive use of the mechs the dlcs add, provided you have the dlc, as we want to support HBS and not give away their content for free. The weapons and ew we keep (with permission from HBS) because they are integral to the mod and are implemented in a completely different way. Basically if you want to see or use the mechs the dlc provide you must have that dlc.

Fair enough. Anyway looks like RT contains 10 times more mechs than all DLCs combined.

So, correct me if i'm wrong
1) I need Flashpoint for Flashpoint miniquest system, bione and mission type.
2) Urban Warfare I may need only for new biome and couple of mechs. Electronic warfare system don't needed because RT have its own EW system. "New enemies" RT have too.
3) Heavy Metal I may need for 8 new mechs and flashpoint event. Those "8 new weapon systems" RT have too

Mostly correct

But for every mech they add there, we at the least, add all canon tro variants as well
