−	The 'Mech's principal weaponry is its two [[Type 31]] [[UAC/5]]s, each found in its rather unusual mid-torso arms. Augmenting the dual autocannons at closer ranges is a single [[Mk. 22]] [[SRM-6]] launcher found in the right torso. The 'Mech's left torso-mounted [[Series 6b]] [[ER large laser]] is generally utilized for long-range attacks and sniping. The ''Dark Crow'' has been fitted with 10 [[double heat sink]]s to handle its movement and weapons heat. Four tons of ammunition supply this 'Mech's autocannon pair, and a single ton of ammunition feeds its missile launcher system.<ref name="TRO:3085p156+"/>	+	The 'Mech's principal weaponry is its two Type 31 Class 5 Ultra Autocannons, each found in its rather unusual mid-torso arms. Augmenting the Autocannon duo at closer ranges is a single 6-tubed Short-Range Missile launcher found in the right torso. The 'Mech's left torso-mounted Extended Range Large Laser is generally utilized for long-range attacks and sniping.

This variant uses experimental arm-mounted Clan [[RAC/2]]s and side torso-mounted [[improved heavy medium laser]]s. To fit this new equipment, the 'Mech makes use of a fragile [[XXL fusion engine]] and [[endo-composite]] structure, and armor protection has been greatly enhanced thanks to the use of [[ferro-lamellor]] armor. For its usage in space, the 'Mech has been given six [[jump jet]]s, a single [[Transport Bay#Cargo Bay|liquid storage]] tank holding additional reaction mass, and experimental [[Partial Wing (BattleMech)|partial wing]]s. The jump jets and partial wing system allow the ''Dark Crow'' 3 to cover 240 meters in a single leap when operating in standard gravity.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 156, "Experimental Variant notes".</ref> BV(2.0)=1,524<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 223</ref>	+	*;''Dark Crow'' 3 : Developed by Clan Snow Raven's "S-Teams" in [[Introduction Year::3084]]<ref>''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/825/dark-crow-3/Introduction Date for the Dark Crow 3]''</ref>, which have used [[Experimental Technology]] to create their usual space-capable variant of a 'Mech - this time of the ''Dark Crow''.
