Overview:
The Katyusha is the first Omni developed by Randam Mechwerks.
Designed to solve the problem of missile-based fire support mechs by
not only allowing a broad range of missiles to be used, but also vary
the missile system, tailoring the mech in the most suitable
configuration. Increasing the versatility of design beyond anything
previously seen in the Inner Sphere, the Katyusha is being watched by
many military observers across the Inner Sphere who predict it will
become a hot seller indeed.

Capabilities:
The primary version is a direct knockoff of the Archer, possibly
the most famous fire support mech in the Inner Sphere. Mounting the
very same LRM20 racks, backed up by pairs of ER Medium Lasers and
Medium Pulse lasers it can lay down a heavy barrage using most known
LRM ammo types. Configuration A mounts the still underused ELRM 15
racks. Though less powerful than the LRM20, their range is unmatched
by any weapon in the Inner Sphere and Clans alike. When sheer
firepower is called for, the B configuration steps in. Mounting a
pair of MRM40 racks this mech can deliver a massive medium range
blow. Armed with twin Thunderbolt 15 launchers, version D can tear
any mech to pieces with a few well placed shots, hitting with roughly
the same power as a Gauss Rifle.. Finally the D configuration is a
more versatile version, capable of fighting at various ranges,
reserving a nasty RL20 surprise to those who stray too close, the
weapons being mounted in a hidden compartiment just beneath the
LRM's.

Deployment:
At this the time of this writing, in late 3068, about 60 have
been produced and sold mainly to houses Davion and Marik. The next
batch of 60 units is being sold to Rasalhague and various mercenary
units.

Battle History:
The Katyusha has seen no action, but during simulated battles a
lance of Katyusha's attached to a heavy mech company accounted for
nearly 14 kills, 3 full kills and 11 assists with only 4 friendly
losses and no Katyusha's lost.

The ELRM 15 configuration seems to have 33 tons of equipment, while the primary has 30 tons. How much pod space does the Katyusha have?

33 tons, the 3 extra heat sinks in the primary config are not fixed.

Oooohhhh...I saw that...I was just, uh, testing you. Yeah. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Nice fire support mech, if I didn't say that before.

Nice and simple.
