I know cetaceans can do it, but I figure soft tissue is harder to lock on than a metal sub. My GM both agree that it can be done, but at what penalty/bonus ?

There aren't that many targets under water, or on the water's surface. So it would take place on land.

I'd suggest around a 2-level penalty to the target acquisition maneuver if the target's a dolphin, and about a 1-level penalty if the target's an orca. Their smaller size and the fact that the targeting computer is going to identify them as 'biologicals' accounts for the penalty. Submersible interceptors have a synthetic skin that is modeled on, and very similar to, cetaceans': that's one reason they can manage such tremendous speeds. So soft tissue isn't going to give the biological much of an advantage. Remember, though, that a biological is still going to be easier to lock-on to than an interceptor--without special gear, they have no ECM rating.

If not send me thy E-mail address! Well, since no one else has stepped forward to claim your counter challenge, I am forced to assume you are responding to my comment about how any squad to of super troopers could whoop-up on any mech out there. Well here are just a few of the simpler possibilities: ; ) 1. Trooper squad executes night insertion into Mech compound by parafoil. Squad either captures mech warrior in his sleep or plants charges and blows mech to scrap in its own hanger. Either way, Troopers 1, Mech 0. 2. While Mech is approaching the battlefield, Troopers jacked into remote hover drones fitted with lazer dsignators "paint" the mech a bright shade of "Here I Am!". Lazers guide in three flights of armor piercing thermite warheads, launched from small attack sub lying in ambush just offshore. Troopers 2, Mech O. 3. Using certain classified artifacts recovered from aboriginal caches, a single Trooper hits the Mech with rifle grenade containing an experimental paste. Three minutes later the Mech is a puddle of goo... Ah well Troopers 3, Mech 0.
