Read the role
Role appears beside the unit’s details, including merchant stock cards and unit review, generated OpFor, company equipment and model assignments, roster selections, salvage and condition reports. Supported variant and design search choices also show the role. Reroll and variant partial updates show the replacement’s role.
A saved role takes priority, including multiple recorded roles or an explicit None. Otherwise an exact unit-type and variant match in imported MekLab metadata supplies the role for older records. Chassis names, similar variants and edited designations do not borrow another design’s role. Not recorded means no role is available; it is not a combat role.
New generated designs retain their imported role. This display does not change BV/PV, eligibility, prices, assignments, purchases or saved historical accounting. Override cards retain their existing configurable role field.
