BATTLETECH: The Patton

Big Red-40TECH

45,224 views

The last of the #Battletech #Vehicle videos I'll be doing on the channel for the moment, celebrating the arrival of the #Battletech #Mercenaries #Kickstarter, the #Patton Battle-Tank is far and away one of the most recognizable and iconic warmachines of the #InnerSphere from the #SuccessionWars.

Produced by #HouseSteiner, the #LyranCommonwealth, and eventually by #HouseDavion, the #FederatedSuns, this brutal machine in all of its various forms has seen warfare across human space since its introduction.

A fantastic addition to the setting, let's dive into this giant... the Patton.

I dont know who painted the "No Step" sign on a near vertical armor panel, but id like to volunteer them for rock painting duty once they finish all the Pattons.

It's good to see that even in a world of giant stompy 'Mechs, there will always be a place for tanks.

The biggest problem with the Axel is that it comes in a tiny boy and you have to build it yourself with a hex key.

I'll always like how tanks have their place in Battletech, with Battlemechs not replacing them and the two not being mutually exclusive.

Battle tech is known for its mechs. But my god it has the COOLEST tanks and vehicles of any sci fi setting.

Commanders win battles.
The quartermaster win wars.

Never underestimate a tank. Once confused a player when he learned my little tank had more armor than a battlemech.

I've always liked the mix up of a few Pattons, Rommels and some Bulldogs in a tank column. Cheap, effective and an absolute terror in an urban environment.

There is always a place for the Patton, I really like it.

Mechs are the heart of this franchise, but most of their tanks, dropships and aerospace stuff is also really cool. Mostly because it fills in a lot of the combined arms structure of any military force which is important just on the basic principle that it allows flexible solutions to scale, fills in elements of recon, line combat and integrated force structures. It caters importantly to the less rolling in cash places that feel the need to shoot at each other and anyone else. But might not necessarily have the cash and manpower to run a battlemech force in large numbers or at all.

Despite the No. 1 place the big robots have on the setting, I urge to the viewers to not sleep on the land, air and space vehicles.

@robrib2682 3 years ago

Just hearing how it was designed compared to the more "normal" tanks of BattleTech for the time makes me think that this was designed around the purpose of defending heavy industrial areas or cities. Something that would have been very useful to house Steiner because they're size can both be a good and bad thing when it comes to prepared defenses and how expensive that gets.
Say what you will about those Lyrans, they do not have enough money to put a Zeus on every planet

The Patton/Rommel is without a doubt, is my favorite non-legged vehicle in the setting. They look awesome, and are awesome, but unfortunely don't hit like an Awesome, well maybe, that battle fist doesn't do that much damage lol

@mattcarper9853 3 years ago

Finally! My favorite tank! The Rommel/Patton! I have a company of these tanks.

@meshuggahshirt 3 years ago

Patton/Rommel is my favorite tank of BattleTech because it's honestly the most tank-like. It's not trying to drag ten SRM-6s across a 31st-century battlefield for a suicide alpha strike, it's designed to fight... like a tank, except with platoon-level indirect missile barrages.
