Run run run as fast as you can. Though that may be pointless. Im not sure who has Steak LRMs, so I declined to add deployment fluff.




               BattleMech Technical Readout

Type/Model:    Dire Wolf (Daishi) J
Tech:          Clan / 3050
Config:        Biped OmniMech
Rules:         Level 3, Standard design

Mass:          100 tons
Chassis:       Standard
Power Plant:   300 XL Fusion
Walking Speed: 32.4 km/h
Maximum Speed: 54.0 km/h
Jump Jets:     3 Standard Jump Jets
Jump Capacity: 90 meters
Armor Type:    Standard
Armament:      
  2 ER PPCs
  7 Medium Pulse Lasers
  1 Streak LRM 5
  1 ECM Suite
Manufacturer:  (Unknown)
  Location:    (Unknown)
Communications System:  (Unknown)
Targeting & Tracking System:  (Unknown)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
     Supposedly christened Daishi (Great Death) by a member of the Draconis
Combine's criminal underground, this 'Mech seems particularly aptly named.
Though the left-shoulder mounted long-range missiles augment the 'Mech's
firepower, it is the bundles of lasers, autocannons, and other weapons in the
arm pods that make the Daishi most fearsome. Slow but lethal, the Daishi is an
assault 'Mech in the purest sense, able to wade through almost any defenses.

==Capabilities:==
     This configuration, J, carries devastating and accurate firepower. 2
ERPPCs linked to a targeting computer provide powerful range firepower. Once
the Dire Wolf J closes, 7 Medium Pulse Lasers suppliment the ERPPCs with
blinding rate of fire, accuracy, and firepower. To aid the mech, jump jets
were added to provide mobility, 90m of jumping capacity.

     To further protect the mech and hamper advanced enemy electronics, a
head-mounted ECM was added. Finally, for a token of extra firepower, a Streak
LRM-5 with half a ton of ammo was added. 24 Double-Heatsinks allow the mech
to
keep up the firepower. However, at short range, the mech tends to overheat if
the pilot isn't careful.


==Deployment==
     The Daishi is a favorite 'Mech among Clan Smoke Jaguar forces, who have
used it to break through Kurita defenses time and again. According to dubious
but persistent rumors, the Draconis Combine has managed to capture a Daishi
intact. How Inner Sphere MechWarriors could seize such a war machine is a
mystery, short of the defection of a Clan MechWarrior--an impossible act, from
all that we know of these warlike people.

What are those LRMs good for? Wouldn't it be better to replace it with Laser AMS or something?

Long range firepower is somewhat weak (for Dire Wolf), if it doesn't guard some forest or city than it would use third PPC instead of three lasers.

I think why he did what he did is because he had 2.5 tons and 2 crit spaces left to work with. He has a Targeting computer and that might be causing him to go over if he tries to use another direct fire weapon. he might also be looking at heat as well .

3 for 3, Mo. I originally wanted 25 DHS, but that would leave 1.5 tons left over, and that wasn't gonna fly.

Well, I calculated with tonnage only, but that doesn't matter. I would rather leave some place free, because this mech seems to be expected to overheat, so ammo may be a problem.

If there are heat problems, the AMS can be turned off. It would be most useful in long range firefight.

AMS ammo can also explode, you know.

This is a real clanner mech, made to hurt people with every ton of pod space it has. Who needs a petty defensive item when you can do five points more damage to the enemy at extreme range?

In previous posts I talked about laser AMS.

To pod space: we are talking something around one ton, on Dire Wolf it can be done.

I just tried to make it one, ton left with laser AMS.

Oh, there can't be TC and all three lasers in LT, Dire Wolf has one fixed DHS there.

My point exactly.

And now, SD, you're making me move around components. Damnit!

What about two lasers in each arm? Looks more like Dire Wolf and allows them to be fired almost anywhere.

Done. That actually works quite well. Now I have arm weapon pods, not energy beating sticks with heatsinks sticking out!

Ouch.

If something like this lands on Stinger, it's Highlander Burial if the there is soft soil, or the Stinger can walk in to the hangar under the door, if there is hard rock.
