I started up MegaMekLab and decided I wanted to make an Hover ATM carrier with the idea of getting in close and smashing face with the high explosive rounds. Doesn't hurt that it can plink with the extended range rounds while closing.

Anyways I decided it needed a chaff pod so it can do the smoke cover along with trying to block incoming missiles. Yes a guardian or an anti missile system would be better. This is BattleTech flawed units with screwed up procurement histories are part of the charm. Heck I gave it a rear mounted vehicle flamer as a throwback to the vehicle in TRO 3026 that does it.

So the chaff pod seems to be allowed in the exterior facing locations and the body location, and for the life of me I can't remember any vehicle construction rules for the chaff pod if it goes in the body location or need to be mounted on an exterior side so it is more available to be critted by enemy fire.

Anyone remember the location rules for the chaff pod for vehicles?
Thanks in advance.
