Description
The Goshawk II is a Medium BattleMech built by Clan Snow Raven in the mid-3080s. Based on the heavier, Vapor Eagle (also known as the Goshawk), it is produced on the Inner Sphere world of Dante. The Goshawk II was designed as a second-line BattleMech for use exclusively by the Ravens.
The Goshawk has been designed to deal with new threats from the Inner Sphere's improved electronics. The 'Mech has been fitted with an ECM Suite to help cut down an opponent's advantages. The 'Mech is protected by nine tons of Raven Comp A Standard Armor.[3]
Weapons and Equipment
The Goshawk II's only long range weapon is its Series 6b Extended Range Large Laser mounted in the right arm. The bulk of its weaponry is intended for close combat, where it employs a pair of Small Pulse Lasers and a sextuplet of Micro Pulse Lasers. The weaponry is guided by a Targeting Computer, allowing the 'Mech to snipe at significant range. The heat level generated by the 'Mech is kept within limits by 20 double heat sinks.[4]
Variants
- Goshawk II 2
- This Goshawk II variant, intended for anti-infantry work, replaces the lasers mounted in the left arm and torso with two ER Flamers. BV (2.0) = 1,767[5]
- Goshawk II 3
- This variant of the Goshawk II is intended for use in space. The design has its Micro Pulse Lasers and ECM Suite removed and its Small Pulse Lasers upgraded to Medium Pulse Lasers. The cockpit armor protection is enhanced for better protection in space.[6] BV (2.0) = 2,115[7]
- Goshawk II RISC
- Based on the 'Goshawk II 4, this experimental late Dark Age era refit-variant was created by the Republic of the Sphere's Republic Institute of Strategic Combat in secret and was considered to be failure. Considered to be This variation of the Goshawk II features proximately's RISC's failed Emergency Coolant System. This experimental cooling system, allows the variant' manage it's heavy heat load with it's 315-Rated Extra-Extralight Fusion Engine and weapon's payload. The 'mech features single Streak LRM-10, Plasma Cannon, and a Improved Heavy Large Laser. The Risc variant also features; 7.5 Ferro Fibrous Armor, the mech has reasonable resistance to enemy fire in combat and has ability to moving maximum 110 kph, and uses several Jump Jets give it high mobility. BV(2.0)=1,886[8][9]
