================================================================================================
Variants:
Clan Hell’s Horses has long been the premier clan for conducting combined arms operations
involving not just BattleMechs, battle armored infantry and aerospace fighters, but also
armor and conventional infantry. Although they already possessed innumerable models of
tanks, they came to admire the Alacorn heavy tank and desired a similar machine, directing
their scientists and technicians to develop a new model and production line on which to
produce them.
Taking the Star League’s model as a basis, Clan scientists knew they could make it better,
by choosing a different weapons layout. Replacing one Gauss rifle with an extended-range PPC
was a good start as it would increase ammo payload for the remaining weapons. Proceeding
from this first change, it was realized that a swap of the remaining two weapons to the
massive type 40 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifles would allow the design to perform well not only
against BattleMechs and armor, but also improve the new Alacorn IIC’s performance against
aerospace fighters. These changes, along with a slight thinning of the armor of the sides
and rear of this machine, enable the design to carry 10 tons of ammunition for the Gauss
rifles, ensuring longevity on the battlefield. A switch to ferro-fibrous armor ensures the
overall loss of armor protection is minimal.

I think HAG/30s would be better. _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

25% less firepower to save 6.5 tons on the guns and turret mass (16 tons per HAG/40 vs 13 each for HAG/30’s, thus a 3.5 ton turret for the 30’s version vs four tons for the turret on the 40’s version), and say 2 tons on ammo to have equivalent amounts (3 shots per ton for 40’s vs 4 shots per ton for 30’s as I recall).
Granted, there’s a lot you can do with 8.5 tons, but you loose a lot of ranged firepower with this change. You could add a LRM-20 with three tons of ammo, an ATM rack with ammo, or just some close-in weapons or armor or cargo space.
But that changes the role of the tank.
