Pretty good for a mid-weight brawler. The speed seems a bit low for its weight, but the jump ability off sets that a bit.
The weapons, Im sorry to say, have been done before, but Im not sure if theyve been done to this extent.
The DHS cant keep up with a full alphastrike, though. A little bit of fire discipline, though, can keep this mech running cool enough to avoid any troubles. Still, if you have a perfect shot that you just -cant- miss, fire em all and hope you roll good on that Overheat check.
The armor is good for its weight, but isnt meant to stand up to serious firepower like gauss rifles and AC 20s.
As an infantry support mech, or as a mech to hunt down lighter mechs, this is going to do nicely.

While Bladewind, Sleeping Dragon, Erenon, and Dark Adder are right on the money with their reviews, Oafman is out to lunch.
Unfortunately this is not the Official Blackjack BJ-3 that was released by FASA way back when.
That design was quite nice for its day, now it is in reality probably out powered. It has 2 standard PPC's, 4 standard Medium lasers, standard chassis, standard armor and standard fusion engine. Doesn't sound too interesting yet does it? What it does have that makes it good is 10 double heat sinks. Allowing it to fire both main weapons slowly building heat from movement, and more than enough to keep it cool running if...IF...it gets down to that range of 3 where the PPC's are at thier minimum and ML's are at short range.
I believe it was released in the 4th succession war pinformation packs. It was... WAS... produced by the St. Ives Compact, and unfortunately if...IF...it is still being produced it is for the Capellan's (OOC I don't like those guys)...unfortunately.
