Description
The Commando was built to try and compete with both the popular Wasp and Stinger light BattleMechs. The 'Mech was originally commissioned to be built in 2486 and later became a 'Mech regularly used by the Lyran Commonwealth.[1] The Commando is designed to serve two roles. The first role is as a scout and the second is as a close range support 'Mech with its four and six tube SRM launchers. While the Commando has a ground speed comparable to both of its direct competitors it lacks the jumping capabilities of the Wasp or Stinger. The Commando carries four tons of armor, but against anything other than other light 'Mechs the difference in the amount of armor is negligible.
Armament
The Commando carries two SRM launchers, a Coventry 4 tube and a Shannon Six Shooter, as its primary weapons. The secondary weapon is a Hesperus-B3M Medium Laser. This weapons load makes the Commando an effective urban combat 'Mech
Variants
- COM-3A - The 3A variant carries two SRM-6 launchers, a Medium Laser and a Flamer. This was accomplished by removing the SRM-4 launcher and lowering the amount of the armor on the 'Mech by one ton. BV (1.0) = 392, BV (2.0) = 540
- COM-4H - The 4H variant of the Commando is used in the periphery and removes all of the SRM Launchers and replaces them with six Rocket Launcher 15s as well as a second Medium Laser. BV (1.0) = 628, BV (2.0) = 691
- COM-5S - The 5S variant of the Commando adds an Artemis IV Fire Control System, linked to the SRM-6. and replaces the SRM 4 with a Streak SRM-2 launcher. Additionally, the chassis has been upgraded with Endo Steel, the armor has been upgraded to Ferro-Fibrous and CASE has been added to protect the ammunition. BV (1.0) = 504, BV (2.0) = 560
- COM-7S - This update of the Commando is built on an Endo Steel chassis and uses a Light Fusion engine. The 'Mech carries two Streak SRM-2 launchers, an SRM-4 with an Artemis IV Fire Control System and two ER Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 601, BV (2.0) = 658
- Commando IIC - The remnants of the SLDF did take a few Commandos with them on their exodus. These were later upgraded with clan technology to create the Commando IIC. BV (1.0) = 816, BV (2.0) = 978
