Venerable Tusa Billingsley-Larkinson entered into battle with a vague expectation of what he might face in battle.
It was true that he had simulated fights against the known Sundered Phalanx expert mechs such as the Quadknife piloted by Venerable Osaia Dukes and the Filamon piloted by Venerable Kismet Hawkes.
The MSTS was quite good at simulating expert mechs. It could replicate the technical performance of these high-quality machines to a high degree as long as someone supplied it with enough information.
The intelligence leaks provided enough crucial details to replicate the essence of their performance. Even if the minor details were incorrect, it was not a big deal as long as the overall fighting characteristics remained the same.
The MSTS was also good at simulating how the Sundered Phalanx expert mechs might perform in battle. The mechs were all controlled by Vulcan or the piloting AI's developed by Vulcan in cooperation with the Quint.
