Are you using any mods? Specifically YAML?

If so, go into the YAML options and see if YAML Upgrades / Cantina missions are enabled. The "upgrades" actually limit the size of the size of your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th mechbays until you buy the upgrades to allow for heavier mechs.

Of course if that isn't your issue, I'm at a loss.

what does the tonnage limit of the mission say? some require you to be playing mechs of a specific tonnage range.

is it the crimson crusade? if so there is a mission that only allows you to go by yourself in a max 50 ton mech (they want you to use jumpjets and a smaller scout mech)

Removed all mods same thing. TRied to play by myself no go. I dont have a 50 ton or smaller mech. I will look at the mission.

You are probably over tonnage

Please confirm what the tonnage limit for the mission you are trying to do is. Also, maybe post a screenshot of the deploy screen where you get the tonnage warning.

Crimson Crusade, mission 4, difficulty 60 raid on Marawi.

Agreed that this is the likely suspect. That's the only mission that comes to mind with a tonnage limit of less than 100 tons.

(edit: aside from Solaris duels, but IIRC you're supposed to be able to drop w/ a heavier 'mech, they'll just send a swarm of VTOLs to punish you).

It's less of a "punishment" and in the game's terms "evening the playing field"

if it's supposed to be evening the playing field it fails miserably at that. the VTOLs are but a momentary inconvenience at worst and a few extra items for the salvage pool at best.

Tbh, if you can't do arena missions within tonnage, then that's just a massive skill issue. They are so easy if you even slightly know what you're doing.

true but maybe I want the vtols to fill out stray salvage shares with medium lasers or srm 2s.

People tend to underestimate the cannon fodder enemies, the biggest threats to battlemechs aren't always going to be other battlemechs.
