Patch 2.24.13 Applied:
This was done last night, but just getting around to making the post today. Details of what's included are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where performing a search on Alpha Strike damage values would sometimes cause the processing dialog to hang.

Changes
  • Changed how information related to structure and communications (type, technology, and model), are stored in the database for easier, more consistent, retrieval.
  • Changed the Source field (available to Admins only) to be a lookup instead of a dropdown.
  • Added the Minesweeper as equipment now available to combat vehicles.
  • Added a '#' button just to the right of the 'Add Equipment' button during design of units. This will allow you to quickly add a user-specified quantity of the equipment currently selected. This is particularly useful when wanting to add many shots of ammo on ProtoMechs.

NOTE: Any forces or units impacted by the above fixes and/or changes have had their stats recalculated to ensure accuracy.

================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Comanche results from a particular design philosophy prescribed by a small merc band,
    Havoc's Hellions. The only good engagement is up close and personal. Thus, the Commando
    variant, the Comanche, was created by the Hellions to train their recruits.

Capabilities:
    Filling the role of a scout mech hunter, the Comanche boasts more armor and is equipped with
    infernos firing out of the trusted and durable Harpon-6. Three monoeye small lasers provide
    the secondary weapons while the hatchet in the right hand is considered the primary. The
    design lacks long-range weaponry but is highly heat efficient, enabling the machine to run
    constantly without fear of overheating.

Deployment:
    The typical tactic when deploying this variant is to run them in a pack of two to three. The
    Comanche's primary goal is to close on a battlemech as quickly as possible and bombard the
    machine with its infernos. As the heat climbs, the target battlemech is overtaken by the
    pack. The small lasers fire off together to strip the limited armor of a scout mech,
    allowing the hatchet to cleave limbs and mech.
    
    To facilitate this up-close and personal warfare favored by the Hellions, the Comanche's
    extra armor is meant to absorb the standard return fire of medium lasers common on most
    scout mechs. This gives the hunter a slight advantage against its prey. But the extra armor
    isn't enough for the Comanche to punch too far above its weight.
    
    While the Comanche pack can engage medium mechs, it must pick and choose its targets. One of
    many vital skills Havoc's Hellions is testing for in their Mechwarrior pilots. A lousy
    matchup can see the pack destroyed and valuable c-bills wasted.
