Line 38: The ''Ostsol'' uses an all-laser weapons array which is particularly geared to close-quarters fighting. The primary weapons are two [[Tronel III Heavy]] [[Large Laser]]s in the right and left torsos, providing powerful medium to long-range firepower. As ranges close, the ''Ostsol'' is able to bring its four [[Tronel II]] [[medium laser]]s, two in each side torso, one front and one back, into play. The rear-facing weaponry means the 'Mech can't bring its full firepower to bear on a single target, limiting its ability to take on heavy 'Mechs one-on-one, but allows it to engage multiple opponents at once more easily. The rear lasers also help the 'Mech cover its own retreat and discourage pursuit. In addition to this firepower the ''Ostsol'' will often engage in hand-to-hand fighting, which can be particularly damaging to lighter 'Mechs.<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3025/> The ''Ostsol'' uses an all-laser weapons array which is particularly geared to close-quarters fighting.
