Overview:
Based on the battle-proven Stalker, the Heatwave borrows from other designs
such as the Clan Warhawk and the Awesome.
Capabilities:
The Heatwave is a pyromaniac's dream and everyone else's nightmare. Armed with
quad Plasma Rifles, the mech can obliterate tanks and whole infantry units in a
single salvo and cause most mechs to shut down with a succesful hit. With the
ability to flip its arms backwards the Heatwave is hard to catch undefended.
The secondary weapon is a Snub-Nosed PPC, very accurate at shorter ranges it
makes up for the lack of arms at close quarters.
The final line of defense is a pair of flamers. These weapons are easily
removed and can be swapped for medium lasers or small pulse lasers to satisfy
the needs of the pilot.
With all this weaponry the Heatwave is ironically a hot mech, able to quickly
overwhelm its sixteen double strength heat-sinks if the pilot is not careful
about which weapons to shoot, but since it doesn't carry any explosive ammo,
some pilots are willing to risk shutdown knowing that a single alpha strike can
cripple or destroy an opponent.
Due to its armour, the mech has substantial staying power and can wade into the
thick of the melee with little fear.
One weak spot is the XL-Engine, with a top speed of only 54kph, the Heatwave
can be vulnerable if caught in the open by faster mechs with long range
weaponry. The XL engine that allows it to carry a substantial arsenal and
solid armour is also the Achilles heel as it is more vulnerable to penetrating
shots than conventional engines.
Battle History:
A recent introduction on the battlefield, the Heatwave has only seen minor
fighting so far, but has performed adequately. Enemy troops, expected the mech
to mount PPCS or lasers received a rude awakening when they discovered that the
Heatwave carries four such weapons.
