	Battle Armor Mechanical Jump Boosters share the advantages and limitations of their larger cousins. They offer a very limited jump capability and they're hard to steer when in flight. However, the Mechanical Jump Boosters used on Battle Armor offers one significant advantage over their 'Mech sized cousins: They allow the armored infantry soldier to replace the normal walking gait with a longer "bouncing" gait that allows the battle armored trooper to cover more ground.<ref name="TOp286-287"/> For this reason alone, several designers are considering using the Mechanical Jump Boosters along with standard [[Jump Jets]].

In addition to providing a single Jump MP, any battle armor mounting this equipment gains 1 extra Ground MP (even if this exceeds the normal Ground MP limits). The Mechanical Jump Booster may be combined with a [[Battle Armor Partial Wing]] to increase the amount of Jump MP available, but may not be combined with the Battle Armor Jump Booster system or the [[Battle Armor Myomer Booster]] System.<ref name="TOp286-287"/> Battle Armor with Mechanical Jump Boosters cannot use the Jump MP from the Boosters and initiate an anti-'Mech attack in the same turn. Battle Armor can mount both Jump Jets and Mechanical Jump Boosters, but can only use one system at a time.<ref name="TOp286-287"/> </div> == References == <references/> == Bibliography == *''[[Tactical Operations]]'' [[Category:Equipment]] [[Category:Technology]] [[Category:Battle Armor Equipment]]
