- The forces of House Kurita have formed a trade blockade centered on the tidal locked moon of Hopper IV which lays in a vital shipping lane between industrial planets of the system. We, House Davian have taken exception to this. Watch the tragic story of the infantry in the universe of BattleTech as we are reduced to our atomic principals by 30 foot tall war machines.
There may also be a LosTech orbital cannon laying around somewhere...

Hope you guys enjoy! This was a universe we’ve been waiting to visit for quite a while. Also, stuff worth pointing out is that we are using Macross Mechs for the operation (mostly because they are the best ArmA mech mod available for the setting) which I was then told had a long and complicated history of actually being part of BattleTech which I found fascinating and proceeded to fall down a rabbit hole with. Also, yes we are using TitanFall dropships, they are great lol.
Oh yea and ignore the mis-accredited Star Wars reference at 9 minutes in, I’m dumb lmao.
I think there was rumor about someone working on making a battletech mod for arma 3.
If you going down the battle tech rabbit hole, look into the Atlas mech. They have a cockpit that would make Emile proud and a tendency to punch small mechs to death. I'm not joking about that last part.
The Fact you were using Macross Mechs for the Battletech mod is one of the most ironic things I've heard in a while.
TLDR of why : Battletech has been in legal battles forever and its main opponent was Harmony-Gold. Battletech in its infancy purchased certain mech designs to pad their rosters. These Mechs were also used in Macross due to other deals. The 2 companies have had a feud of running legal battles ever since with the Macross Mechs become "the unseen" until relatively recently.
Great job on this one
@@elementalgamer0732 As someone who played the MW5 Mercs reboot. I can confirm this. It’s so god damn satisfying bashing a Warhammer’s cockpit in with a giant metal fist.
How you know Raptor doesn't know much about Battletech:
He chose to be infantry in Battletech
Sometimes you just want to be an underdog :)
Well it'd be less funny if he wasn't in the group that goes through a ton of pain. I'm pretty sure by this point it's his MO.
@@Derpy-qg9hn you spelled cannon fodder wrong :)
Being PBI(Poor bloody Infantry) is a recipe for a quick grave.
infantry without power armour vs mech are next to useless outside of city fighting also clan elementals but those guys are crazy like jumping on to mech and ripping the pilot out of the cockpit after punching though it crazy, and remember they still lost
4:51 I love the idea that Bean and Jay are sitting in the ship flipping through copies of The Art of War and quoting lines back and forth to argue for and against the (doomed) hotdrop.
I'd pay to see that actually animated
oh my god the zanny reference though from his titanfall vids omg that was great
That reminds I still need to get a copy of art of war
Me in Mechassault seeing infantry: Oh fun time for overkill.
Infantry in Mechassault:
Thou shalt commit war crimes
We need a mech assault 3!
@@Clogmonger Technically
canceled Mechassault 3 while in production, but there was also
MechAssault: Phantom War for the DS as a third game.
*Me playing Infantry in my TTRPG group.*
Infantry in the tabletop is scary. They shred each other, they deal good damage, and anti mech training makes them Funni when dealing with Mechs. Fun fact, a mech can only punch themselves to deal with a swarm attack.
@@kazamakokuren4436 Entrenched LRM and SRM infantry are hell to evict. Just absolute hell.
I have been sitting here thinking, "I'd love to see them do Battletech, because I love Battletech and would love to see infantry in BT, but it'll never happen." It's been a long time since I was this happy to be wrong.
I mean, there is reasonably relevant Infantry in Battletech, the problem is that they jump around with jetpacks wearing 2-ton suits of power armor.
But yeah, the 31st century is a shitty time to be Infantryman Pvt. Joe Johnson.
Also because Warhammer 40K has a similar enough premise and GW demonetizes any content using their IP, most 40K creators have switched over to BattleTech for their sci-fi tastes
StringStorm's song Tukayyid is set in BT, now that all of his songs about Warhammer are getting shafted and because Emperor TTS is on indefinite hiatus (I presume. I don't actually know any of this for a fact but it seems to be where things are heading)
@@moriskurth628 There was a spinoff of battletech that included tanks and infantry. Did not sell that well and the infantry were almost impossible to paint
I was literally just thinking the same thing and had the exact same reaction seeing this.
@@SurveyTurtleGaming Are you talking about Mechassault? Because if you are, it's literally all I know about the Battletech universe😂. I grew up playing the demo for the 2nd game, and recently found, bought, and played both. I fucking love Mechassault.
Battletech lore 101: Space is ruled by neo-feudal empires in the wake of the collapse of the Star League and the ensuing Succession Wars, all dependent on the secretive Comstar in order for their planets to remain in contact with each other through the 'HPG' network. Technology has declined so much that the tools of modern warfare are frequently handed down for generations, and captured or salvaged rather than outright destroyed, as many of these tools cannot be built in the modern day. Each and every piece of these machines has a history you can read about, as they were each built by someone, at some point, and the fact that you have them wherever you are fighting implies a story about how they got there.
Is it like a warhammer situation where they just know it does work but not how or is it like they just don't have the resources to build new tech?
@@collinb.8542 Kinda
@@collinb.8542 More lacking the resources than lacking the know-how. Later in the timeline, tech ramps back up again at least equalling, if not surpassing Star League levels.
@@collinb.8542 Yeah, what the others are saying, but when you go down the eras, there are new mechs being built and invented, the clan invasion era is a good example, which comes after the succession wars era
@@mechjankmaster3739 aahhhh okay. This stuff sounds pretty cool might have to get into it.
As soon as I heard bean said “I am a good pilot.” That was dreadful foreshadowing
I AM A GOOD PILOT
@@canadianbean6736 bad pilot
@@canadianbean6736 TELL THAT TO THEIR MOTHERS BEAN
@@canadianbean6736 This has been proven false
@@canadianbean6736 "I'm a good pilot." is a running joke in my Arma group because every person we ever heard say it has inevitably been mediocre at best.
The friendly "Howdy!" at the start of every one of your videos never fails to put a smile on my face. Definitely some of the funniest Arma content to watch heehee!
I got my ass handed to me and found out why PPCs are war crime level weapons.
Would be a shame if he didn't say "howdy" in one of these episodes.
And yet i remember Project HAARP.
Especially because of how he says it and then talks about how he and many other Ignis infantry died horrible deaths.
5:25 It was during these moments, that Rubix learned the hard way why the BattleMech is considered King of the Battlefield for many centuries.
And then came the Omnimechs and a lot of stupidity, good times.
7:49 then I guess a tank is equal
@@toothpasteman3400 Compared to a mech, not really. But it depends on which mech class.
@@dj11o9er did you even watch it my guy? that tank refused to die simple as that
@@toothpasteman3400 Arma aint BattleTech either way. So yes, I have seen it. But I acknowledge that it is Arma. Not a game like Mechwarrior, where even heavy tanks take less than even most light mechs.
Battletech Universe is so terribly underrepresented in gaming. I love MechWarrior as much as the next 90's kid, and as much as the Mech is the king of the battlefield in the Battletech universe, there is also so much more.
It has SO MUCH potential, MWLL and the original MW games are a good example (namey MW2 and MW4M)
@@RepublicanGuardMan there is word that MechWarrior living legends 2 is being worked on
@@mechjankmaster3739 heard it was all bs and there is apparently some beef that happened between devs and whatnot but i do not know any more on the topic at all
@@RepublicanGuardMan it was mostly that pirahana games kept updating MechWarrior 5 (The original basis for living legends 2) but due to that, they went "fuck it" and are doing it standalone, not s conversion or anything, bit I'll need to check that)
@@RepublicanGuardMan @Adansin1 MWLL2 is indeed being worked on, as a stand alone game, and last I heard it was going to be free due to the way they are allowed to use the battletech/mechwarrior license. There was indeed beef with some of the devs, with one of them leaving, although this was a little while ago and I cant quite remember why
I feel like "Howdy!" at the start of each video is becoming more and more of a concealed cry for help after looking at the title of the video and watching the carnage evolve.
"Are we in an anime?" Yes, technically, since all of the Mechs in this operation look like the ones that were taken from Macross, the Tomahawk and Defender Destroids specifically lol
Given the beginnings of Battletech is a copyright nightmare with Macross and several other anime series...yeah...
Thank GOD i wasn't the only person that realized this. i knew those mechs looked familiar
Don’t get me started on the rifleman, that thing attracts lawsuits like it overheats.
@@Nick3889 welcome to battletech
@@derkylos - was a nightmare. HBS beat Harmony Gold's copyright lawsuit.
I’ve laughed at so many things so far but when that tone guy says “Oh wait. We’re not dead!” And then you all immediately exploded I lost it.
Beware...the lore gremlins come.
In all seriousness cant wait to see more BT!
I wanna say this is something like a 90% lore accurate representation of BattleTech infantry action.
This is 100% what it feels like to be a PBI, and I would absolutely join their infantry to play a battletech op
This feels lore accurate to how being infantry is in BT
Pretty much, although put them in an urban environment and some light 'mechs have good reason to be scared, at least.
As a Battletech fan, that was awesome. As a loyal member of the Taurian Concordat, I cheered when Bean got your guys killed multiple times because House Davion constantly tries to take over the Concordat.
Keep making awesome vids!
Ayo FUCK the concordat, Signed

If you guys could ever get the Black Pants Legion in on your Battletech Ops. You will not only have such an amazing time but you will also learn pretty much anything you want about the Battletech setting. You'll be able to name specific mechs, know what their built for, their weaknesses and shortcomings, etc. And you'll also learn that being Infantry in battletech is a death sentance. XD
Tex would teach you the ways of killing clanners and the glory of the inner sphere.
Infantry tends to stop working so well when it's on fire.
@@mikecampos1193 "No, you don't understand. We aren't going to run up and whack the MadCat with an axe because its' the most effective way to get rid of it, we're going to do it because it will make the pilot cry and throw a tantrum, and frankly that is more than worth any price."
@@Jebsucks I can hear this in his voice and I want it to be real now
Yes! great idea! TEX And Discount Dan too!
8:23 this man made my day XD i cried of joy for the name of his mech
He sounds and looks like Kuritan. Don't feel bad
Nothing makes me smile more than hearing Jay say " Howdy! ". Its just really friendly and wholesome.
Also, I would definitely look in to Battletech if you like 40k. Is good stuff.
The Rubix Mercenary Company is known for many things:
Somehow completing objectives,
Suffering catastrophically at the hands of everything on and off the battlefield
A complete disregard for combat protocols
So a normal mid-tier Merc Company
@@KillerOrca Yup
One with very wild dice rolls too.
And a healthy disregard for the laws of physics and/or the Geneva convention.
Me, a BattleTech fan, watching you climb into a VTOL knowing several of the Mech models present in the battle are the Rifleman, aka The Sky Sweeper:
RIP
7:50 If I had to hazard a guess, probably a Myrmidon Heavy Tank. Those fuckers usually carry PPCs. Meaning they can very easily shred through light mechs if you leave them be.
Yeah, vehicles are pretty scary in tabletop, or so I heard
I was hearing the voice of Specter in my Head while reading your comment
@@mechjankmaster3739 and in the HBS video game. Those buggers can carry a lot of ordinance, but usually die fairly quick. Though the heavier tanks can take a real beating.
@@ArawnNox a simple melee stomp usually one shots most vehicles
@@mechjankmaster3739 You’ll be lucky to get close enough.
Holy crap, so glad to see this from you, Battletech is an awesome universe and didn't realize there was a mod for it on Arma (not checked in a while TBH, plus come on, Mechwarrior games bring the real experience)
It's not really a Battletech single mod per say, they've used several mods to build a Battletech style mission. The VTOLs were from a Titanfall mod, the mechs from a Mecha mod, etc
@@Kyoptic I did notice that, cause those had the Macross designs that were older "Unseen" designs. (and landed Battletech into legal trouble more than once in the past). Those dropships looked familiar and until someone in the vid said Titanfall I couldn't remember cause it's been years since I played either game.
@@Jenkin_Jones And now Battletech literally stole every model of Macross instead of only creating new ones, I love Battletech but that's just not cool.
@@user-vz7bj3mk6z I never condoned it and it also included the Dougram anime they took a bit from, another good show. It is only like 40 or so designs (I think) compared to everything else in Battletech, not all. Still, I have no idea what all happened to where the situation became what it is today and I doubt anyone outside the respective organizations will.
@@Jenkin_Jones I understood you weren't codonning it. I already did some research on Battletech plagiarazing others, for now what I know for certain is that it's giving a very bad image for the whole serie and that it cost them more than what they gained out of it.
God despite the use of the macross/ the hidden mechs, this was awesome. Just makes me wish there was a dedicated battletech mod for arma
Mechwarrior Living Legends, if a Battletech mod for Crysis is acceptable.
I would kill to see them use LAM'sfor the next Btech op. I was able to meme magic this into existence I can meme the existence of a LAM op
@@heymay724
Champion LAM lance, lmao.
Im sure someones working on it now. Though, a Warhammers a Warhammer XD
Kinda suprised that there isn't a Battletech mod for ARMA honestly, people have ported the MWO models to just about every game under the sun at this point. Seriously, there's a Mechwarrior mod for *Fallout 4* of all games.
The thing I'd really want to see is proper BT-style Dropships. Those dinky little VTOLs ain't got shit on a Leopard, much less a Union. Seeing a giant battle-ball of doom just drop down on an area and wreck face would be awesome.
“Good thing those bugs can’t aim” is a Star Wars clone wars reference sorry rubix your nerd card is revoked
I'm sure it can apply to anything that has any filthy xeno that's hostile...or not hostile
The best part of Star Wars is when Picard landed the Millennium Falcon on Earth.
all that traing ever prepend you for all the screaming or all the blood
And immediately after saying that the clones' gunship was INSTANTLY shot down
Welcome to the Inner Sphere style of war, Rubix. There is no such thing as mercy here.
Sanity either.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how that outro loop of Jay getting repeatedly clapped by an autocannon perfectly synced up with the music?
Me as a BattleTech fan: "I wonder why there are never any ARMA missions based in this universe?"
Jay: "Trust me. It's HELL!"
(Awesome editing! Thank you for showing us this operation.)
now this is the kind of hellish armored warfare I love lol
Armored Core and Mech games have taught me well lmao
Damn it now i want someone to start making proper battlemechs from battletech. Happy to see this done though guys!
It shouldn't even be *that* hard, people port MWO / MW5 models to everything.
On a whim I got mechwarrior 5 a month back. The past 2 weeks I've listened to battletech lore and history. Now this. Thanks Rubix, I've certainly fell into a rabbit hole.
Welcome to the battletech rabbit hole
And seeing that you have an anime profile picture, I will add this, there are cybernetic cat girls in the battletech universe, but only one faction really makes em, since no one else wants to or can (It's the magistry of Canopus, the cat girls are for brothels in Canopus)
I highly recommend the "Clan Invasion" mod on the Nexus if you are still playing MW5.
Though it saddens me that modders have to pick up the slack of Piranha Games.
@@mechjankmaster3739 I came for anime mechs (specifically the robotech ones), but now I must stay for the catgirl waifus. Or Urbanmech.
@@Kirkmaximus I plan to after I get the dlc, whenever it goes on sale
Using Macross mechs is fine since Battletech actually has legally purchased designs from that series to add to their numbers, they actually look pretty in-universe honestly.
9:04 "Good thing these bugs can't aim" this is the first time I have heard someone else make this reference, no one has ever gotten it whenever I've said it
Oh God I thought I was the only one.
*gets obliterated by Genosian who can in fact aim*
*Never twmpt fate while in a flying coffin*
@@kriegertechpriest7011 Everything is a coffin or your grave if you are creative enough, great Techpriest.
@@RevanRA This... Is true.
What a wonderful birthday present! More Ignis and Jay suffering! Thank you Mister Jay!!!
Also, the Sun Tzu quote duel had me choking on my cake XD
That was my favorite episode of "Mechfighters V: Moons of Sorrow" as of yet. Love the art direction, very good.
6:43 "Are we in an anime?" Well, you're fighting the Draconis Combine, led by House Kurita, who canonically trace their lineage back to a real WW2 Japanese Admiral, Takeo Kurita...
Also, Jay, beware that "Big Papa" guy that sounds like a Star Wars character. He sounds like a Kuritan, and may be a double agent.
I usually don't read descriptions. Ever. Even when suggested otherwise. Being interested in the sudden amount of BattleTech, I decided to indulge. Jay informed me he knew next to nothing about BT before the video started with that spelling of Davion.
5:35
"Oh wait! We are not dead"
That killed me
8:31 "Enormous Father" is some hilarious Engrish I never expected to hear.
"Stand by for titanfall" Ya'll need to do a titanfall op either titanfall 1 or 2 related sometime. :3
I just started to get into Battletech, so if you need lore, I can help.
Using Warthogs as ground vehicles actually fits pretty well, as do the Titanfall Gunships.
The Warthog is just such a well-modeled sci-fi vehicle that it doesn't look out of place in 90% of other sci-fi settings.
I'm not sure I could picture it in Star Wars or Star Trek, but those are the only two big exceptions that come to mind.
Honestly an outer rim planet in star wars with some excuse to why hover vehicles don’t work and a paint job and I think it would fit finr
6:08
Jay: "How am I ALIVE?!?"
Mechs: "We can fix that for you..."
6:48 “Are we in an anime?” My favorite quote.
3:41 that noise gave me ptsd from my battlefield 4 days
The mechs’ beam fire reminds me of Robotech beam weapons. They’re even the same model of mechs lol
Warhammer/Tomahawk
It's cuz thy are the only models available in the arma 3 workshop, none of the MechWarrior redesigns and other mechs are on the workshop
@@mechjankmaster3739 Who knows, after this, maybe someone has started working on adding MechWarrior models into Arma 3 workshop.
To add to what others have said (that they're literally robotech models), these are *still* in-universe designs. When the game started out in the 80s the designers grabbed models from some company thay was just re-branding Macross mechs because they didn't have the cash to manufacture all their own stuff yet. It's led to multiple lawsuits from Harmony Gold and they're called "unseen" now because of all the legal trouble, although that's less true than it used to be.
7:00 the hand of Stackpole has touched this mech.
2:16 that bell sounds times perfectly to me smacking an enemy with a shield in my game
This was a blast to watch. Thanks as always for filming and editing these together for us.
The clone wars episode there the “good thing those bugs can’t aim” was very on par with how this op went
And to think i was playing dnd last night and talking about getting my battletech technical books out and get something going. Love the op, love the riflemen and warhammers, but i wish y’all had some elementals in there.
Thanks for getting me back into battletech!
If you want to see some elementals, Mechwarrior: Living Legends was a Crysis mod where infantry all got elementals to zip around in, and it's getting a sequel eventually. It's a super cool game and I wish it got more attention.
4:37 now we know where the Infinity was at its absence
Is me Gordon, barney from black mesa :]
Rubix, just wanna say you and your team really do make my day better. Thank you for recording and uploading your sessions.
"I have lost my fireteam and the world is ending." - Battletech infantry summed up perfectly.
10:31
That take off had style.
Oh my god, you really did it! I remember suggesting this a while back, but I didn't think it would happen so fast!
Show those filthy Dracs what for!
3:07 that dropship is straight from Titanfall
this is amazing i didnt even expect to find a video when i typed in arma mech warrior please keep doing these. The franchise definitely doesnt get enough love for what its worth
Now I want them to do a Titanfall operation, THAT would make my day :)
Suffering, mechs, memes, explosions! What more could you want!
Your arma op videos never ceases to make people laugh. God the editing is hilarious
BATTLETECH!??? FINALLY
0:16 we just going to ignore a Titanfall dropship?
3:15 When your squad leader is also an embedded combat journalist his job is to tell you where to shoot and record your deaths when you get shot
3:56 was one of the coolest drops I've seen.
The music at the end of the videos just makes everything better
god, those dropships bring back wonderful memories. nice video btw
Hey Raptor, if you ever wanna know more about the universe of Battletech I'd HIGHLY recommend another creator here on UA-cam called BlackPantsLegion. Specifically his series known as "Tex talks Battletech" I don't think I've come across a more passionate speaker when it comes to the lore of the setting, the man lives and breathes it and the production value of his work is seriously up there. Give him a look if your interested.
The editing in these videos is consistently just so slick and funny. And the community in these servers really all seems to be on the same page for having a good time!
What a wonderful time when Jay posts. I always look forward to your videos.

So cool finally getting to see the life and inevitable death of PBI (poor bloody infantry) in Arma. Great work!!
6:18 So troops dying by mechfire sounds like Popcorn popping. Great to know.
LOVE IT! The use of the Macross Mechs Mod.
I was just watching alot of your vids and then you upload? What a wonderful day. Love your work and content.
Another fun video man! Also love the RDF logo on the mech XD
Love your videos man keep them coming
Hell yes Battletech is the best, glad to see you guys doing it. I know this would've probably brought the servers to a halt but in order to get the true BT experience, you should put EVERYONE in mechs and run an op that way. Probably better when more mech models are available - I can only imagine the shenanigans if you got your hands on the faster light mechs.
This is awesome, but that scene in the elevator was outstanding.
I’m glad you did this
"SHINJI GET IN THE MECH!" (Concern rises, wants to start the Human Instrumentality Project)
each Friday im excited for your video and they are always great!
This was one of your best videos! Super funny!
I honestly cannot describe how great this content is
I love seeing the Rifleman and Tomahawk.
I'm so glad you're still using the sounds Tails made as death sounds
I love the fact that as the game goes on its [Objective: Survive] but as soon as you see the [Mission Complete] message its devolves to [Objective: Die]
The amount of Titanfall references in this video make me happy
Your videos never fail to make me smile, my dude. Always a fun time!
Rubix.. I have 3 brain cells now, not only does one go into 40k lore, but the second to your vids. Keep it up man!
I'm very happy BattleTech mechs are in Arma! BT needs more love.
9:04 thats a star wars clone wars reference, a LAAT gets shotdown right after a clone says that
Amazing op hilarious and more of this universe please
Im really happy that bean’s uses the „stand by for titanfall“
My inner MWO was more distracted by the mech's loadout over the HORRIFIC casualities, for this I appologize but also liked the video.
I really love the use of Crow-Class dropships here
This has almost all my favourite sci fi's in one video
Love too see the mechs at the start were my favorite ones, the "totally not in a legal battle with Robotech Macross" ones.
Classic. Loved it.
I forgot that I already watched this earlier :0 love it btw
@RubixRaptor Jay I'm not expert but if you ever have any questions about BattleTech I'd be happy to try and answer any I am in your discord so feel free to message any time :)
I love BattleTech, I have a bunch of models currently being painted on my
