	The DOA-manufactured ''Jade Hawk'' devotes considerable mass to its 375 [[XL engine]] and thirteen and half tons of armor plate, making it extremely fast for its size and carrying the maximum armor its frame can support, only enhanced by the inclusion of a [[supercharger]]. DOA also added an Inner Sphere touch by the inclusion of a pair of fearsome [[Claw]]s and [[Triple Strength Myomer]]s, enhancing the ''Jade Hawk'''s physical combat abilities and boosting its speed in heavy combat yet further.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/>		The DOA-manufactured ''Jade Hawk'' devotes considerable mass to its 375 [[XL engine]] and thirteen and half tons of armor plate, making it extremely fast for its size and carrying the maximum armor its frame can support, only enhanced by the inclusion of a [[supercharger]].

This combination of melee and short ranged weaponry, heavy armor, and speed (rivaling 'Mechs a third of its tonnage) make the ''Jade Hawk'' a powerful close-in fighter and a force to be reckoned with in urban environments.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/> ==Variants== *; JHK-04 : DOA's support model, JHK-04 drops the jump jets, partial wing, advanced myomers and supercharger in exchange for a pair of torso-mounted [[Streak LRM-15]] launchers imported from the Sea Foxes. Three tons of reloads allow the pilot a decent combat radius, while the addition of IS-spec [[Heavy-Duty Gyro]] and switch to [[ferro-fibrous]] armor offers a modest boost in protection.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/> BV (2.0) = 2,102 <ref name=TRO3145M-95>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 95 "JHK-04 Jade Hawk"</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 48</ref> *; ''Jade Hawk'' : Clan Jade Falcon's version of the ''Jade Hawk'' is purely Clan-spec and lacks the advanced myomers and claws of the DOA JHK-03 model, carrying four [[Streak SRM-6]] launchers instead of the standard models and mounting a [[Light Active Probe]] in its head. Four tons of ammo give the design excellent endurance despite the large number of launchers, while the addition of ferro-fibrous plating increases it protection.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/> BV (2.0) = 2,523 <ref name=TRO3145M-96>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 96 "Jade Hawk"</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 49</ref> *;''Jade Hawk'' 2 : The second Clan Jade Falcon model trades mobility for raw firepower, removing the jump jets, wing and supercharger to upgrade two of its arm-mounted lasers to [[ER Large Lasers]] and its four SRM launchers to [[ATM-6]]s, mounting an additional ER Small Laser as well. Carrying four tons of reloads, generally two tons of standard ATM missiles and one each of Extended Range and High Explosive give it reasonable field endurance.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/> BV (2.0) = 2,455 <ref name=TRO3145M-97>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 97 "Jade Hawk 2"</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 50</ref> *; ''Jade Hawk'' 3 : The final Clan version is based off the ''Jade Hawk 2'', dropping the ferro-fibrous plating and shaving the armor levels to restore the standard ''Jade Hawk''s jump jets and upgrade two of the arm-mounted lasers to [[Medium Pulse Laser|Medium Pulse versions]] instead of the ER Large models.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/> BV (2.0) = 2,498 <ref name=TRO3145M-98>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 98 "Jade Hawk 3"</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 51</ref> ==Design Quirks== The ''Jade Hawk'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/> * [[Distracting]] * [[Non-Standard Parts]] * [[Reinforced Legs]] ==Notable Pilots== :''See [[:Category:Notable Jade Hawk Pilots]]'' ==Gallery== <gallery> Image:MWDA 119 rot02.jpg|[[MechWarrior: Age of Destruction]] version of the ''Jade Hawk'' </gallery> ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged]]'' * ''[[Shrapnel Issue 10]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3150]]'' [[Category:'Mechs]] [[Category:Clan Jade Falcon BattleMechs]] [[Category:Melee BattleMechs]]
