Description
Named for the ancient Japanese longbow the Daikyu is armed to strike an enemy with a powerful blow at long range and as such is poorly armed for short-range combat. The Daikyu attempts to dictate the range at which it engages with its top speed of 86.4 kph that allows the Daikyu to keep up with most medium and heavy 'Mechs and makes it capable of outpacing most assault 'Mechs. The Daikyu is also well protected with twelve tons of armor and CASE to protect against ammunition explosions.
Armament
The Daikyu is built around long-range firepower. The primary weapon the 'Mech carries is a Lord's Light 2 ER PPC backed up by a pair of Imperator Ultra Autocannon/5s. This combination of weapons gives the Daikyu a devastating long-range punch. The 'Mech also carries a LongFire V LRM 5 launcher giving it limited indirect fire support capabilities. For close combat the Daikyu carries a single Diverse Optics Type 20 Medium Laser.
Variants
- DAI-02 - A variant made to address concerns of a lack of short-range firepower the 02 variant was built soon after Operation Bulldog. The 'Mech carries in place of the two Ultra Autocannon/5s a pair of Streak SRM 6 launchers. Additionally for close combat the 02 variant of the Daikyu has two ER Medium Lasers and is also outfitted with a C3 Slave unit to share targeting information with other friendly units. BV (1.0) = 1714
- DAI-03 - The 03 variant is built with a new Light Fusion Engine and has a C3 Slave unit to share targeting data with friendly units. The 'Mech removes both of the Ultra Autocannon/5s with a MRM 20 and the Medium Laser has been upgraded to an ER Medium Laser. BV (1.0) = 1439
