Trivia

 * In Front Mission 3, battle skills are learned by equipping specific wanzer parts. When equipped, Tieqi 4 gave:
 * E-Def-C2 (Body) - Decreases the enemy wanzer's Def-C (damage class modifier) by 2 levels.
 * Aim-Leg (Arms) - If wielding a burst shot weapon, then when this skill activates all the shots will hit the leg of the enemy wanzer in an attempt to cripple their movement.
 * BraceII (Legs) - If the battle skill triggers before an attack attempt, then the player wanzer will first brace for impact before striking the enemy; the brace means that the enemy will go first, but the damage taken is reduced by 80%.
