Description
Built to operate in a counter guerilla role, the Bloodhound is designed to engage enemy units that are interested in hitting quickly and fading away. The Bloodhound is built on an Earthwerks PXH IV Endo Steel chassis that carries a lightweight Hermes 315 XL engine capable of pushing the Bloodhound up to speeds of 118.8 km/h. The Bloodhound is well armored for its mission with nine and a half tons of Durallex Light armor with CASE to protect the 'Mech against complete destruction in the event of an ammunition explosion. The Bloodhound also carries a Beagle Active Probe which is capable of finding hidden enemy units. To dissipate the heat from the Bloodhounds weapons the 'Mech has fourteen double heat sinks. For its intended mission and in an infantry support role the Bloodhound is a superb 'Mech. When facing other 'Mechs the Bloodhound is woefully under-armed.
Armament
Intended for combating guerilla units the Bloodhound is armed with three Diverse Optics Type ER Medium Lasers and a Guided Technologies 2nd Gen Streak SRM-6 launcher as its primary weapons. The Bloodhound carries a Diverse Optics Type ER Small Laser as its secondary weapon.
Variants
- B2-HND - The B2 variant of the Bloodhound enhances the 'Mechs firepower and capabilities by removing two of its double heat sinks and adding a Guardian ECM Suite and also adding a second ER Small Laser. BV (1.0) = 1,206
