Description
Built on the same chassis as the Sentry and Watchman BattleMechs, the Cuirass is designed for the cavalry role. Its higher ground speed allows it to quickly strike at an enemy formation's flanks and withdraw. Though slower than lighter cavalry units, the 180 meter jump range offsets this disadvantage. To make room for the weapons and engine, the Cuirass uses an XL Gyro, XL Engine, and Endo Steel construction. Though the autocannon ammunition is protected by CASE, pilots should remember that the eight tons of armor is not enough to stop heavy weapons fire. The use of the extralight engine and gyro also make the 'Mech vulnerable to penetrating armor shots. Another drawback is the use of single heat sinks on the 'Mech. Though this reduces cost, MechWarriors who are careless with their heat management can quickly find themselves shut down.[1]
Weapons and Equipment
The Cuirass main armament is the Rotary AC/5 carried in the right arm. Identical to the weapon used on the Legionnaire and Blade BattleMechs, this weapon can easily knock smaller opponents right off their feet. Three tons of ammunition keeps the Cuirass fighting for a long time. Unlike the Legionnaire the Cuirass can close with an enemy unit and finish it off with either its ER Medium Laser or (if it needs to cool down) the two ton Sword mounted in the right arm.[1]
Variants
- CDR-2BC3
- This version of the Cuirass introduced in 3119[3] uses double heat sinks to address the heat issue of the original design. It also removes the standard weaponry and replaces it with four Magshots, an ER Small Laser, and two Medium X-Pulse Lasers. The Sword is replaced with a Medium Vibroblade. This version also carries a Boosted C3 Slave to share targeting information with friendly forces. BV (2.0) = 990[4][3]
Notable Pilots
- Duke Aaron Sandoval, the leader of the Swordsworn faction, piloted a Cuirass from 3135 onwards.
Notes
This 'Mech was introduced in MechWarrior: Age of Destruction as Duke Aaron Sandoval's BattleMech, but wasn't given stats or fluff information until Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental.
