Though some have likened the aircraft to a flying whale, others love its massive 43 tons of available [[pod space]], particularly when facing [[DropShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s. The heavy hitting, ammunition dependent nature of configurations somewhat sidesteps the mere 14 [[double heat sink]]s carried on its base chassis.<ref name=TRO3067-152-153/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The primary configuration mounts an [[LRM-10]] in the nose supported by a wing-mounted [[ER large laser]] and [[LB 10-X AC]] on each side. Four tons of autocannon reloads allows the fighter to carry both standard and cluster munitions, but this configuration lacks aft weaponry.<ref name=TRO3067-152-153/> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : A mixed and balanced weapon loadout, the A configuration mounts a [[Gauss rifle]] and [[SRM-4]] in the nose, supported by an [[ER PPC]] and twin [[medium pulse laser]]s fitted in each wing. Two tons of Gauss reloads and one ton of short range missiles keep the nose weaponry in operation, while a single additional [[double heat sink]] strains to keep the heat from the wing-mounted weapons in check.

Lacking any backup energy weaponry, this variant is forced to withdraw once its one ton of autocannon rounds, two tons of short range and four tons of long range missiles are expended.

While it carries backup in the form of two [[medium pulse laser]]s, the fighter generally withdraws once it burns through its eight tons of autocannon reloads.

The nose mounts a [[large pulse laser]] and three more [[medium pulse laser]]s. The aft of the fighter is protected by an [[ER medium laser]], and all the weapons are tied into a [[targeting computer]]. 19 [[double heat sink]]s have been fitted to the craft as well. BV (2.0) = 1,748<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 271</ref> *; Alternate Configuration R : This [[Jihad]] era configuration fits [[Clan]]-built weaponry. The nose carries a Clan [[UAC/20]], while each wing carries a Clan-built [[LRM-20]] with [[Artemis IV FCS]] and a [[plasma cannon]]. Another plasma cannon covers the aft of the ''Huscarl''.
