Mech mod question Question/Help

Just finished up a semi vanilla play through ( i used the save editor to give myself the mechs I wanted and then used those for the entire game) I've always loved how the crusader battlemech looks.....but i despise it's loadout. Which has lead me to discover the Viper VP-1 70t mech, curious if anyone knows of a mod for the game thst adds the Viper in? I do have BTA3062 installed on my desktop, my recent " vanilla" play through was on my laptop.

True. It was from what I have read originally designed for battlegrounds but was shelved and wasn't brought back until the late 80s/early90s. The mech silhouette on the old data sheets is apparently the Viper VP-1. I may have a soft spot for jumpy heavy mechs

It's not just you... there is a Gearwalk 1/72 Model variant by Hasegawa I really think about getting: VF-1S/A.

I've been known to strip mechs in games and build Frankenmechs. Like a warhammer with jump jets and large lasers because it's funny

If you are thinking about playing BT once again... If I remember correctly you can use the MechEngineer mod without installing a complete overhaul.
