Description
As part of Victor Steiner-Davion's attempt to rebuild national pride, the JagerMech underwent a redesign and was christened the JagerMech III. The JagerMech III is built along a similar philosophy as the original; keeping an enemy at range. To make this new JagerMech III fit into the mobile warfare doctrine embraced by the AFFC, the 'Mech is powered by a massive VOX 325 XL engine that gives it a top speed of 86.4 km/h while weighing half as much as a standard fusion engine. To save even more weight, the JagerMech III is built on a Kallon Type XIV Endo Steel chassis. The JagerMech III carries armor in line with its role as a long-range 'Mech, with only nine and a half tons of Kallon Unity Weave Ferro-Fibrous armor. The design has suffered some criticism for its lack of CASE to protect its ammunition, especially given the amount of advanced technology on board. Finally, to dissipate waste heat, the 'Mech has twelve double heat sinks.
Armament
The primary weapons the JagerMech III carries for long range combat are two Mydron Model D-rf Light Ultra Autocannon/2s that are capable of hitting with light damage out to seven hundred and fifty meters. For intermediate ranges, in spite of the state-of-the-art construction techniques used on the 'Mech, the JagerMech III relies on two Johnston Parti-Cannon PPCs backed up by two Intek Medium Lasers for close combat.
Variants
At the time of the writing of this article there are no known variants of the JagerMech III.
Game Notes / Errata
Although Independence Weaponry was listed as a manufacturer of the JagerMech III, no evidence exists to support the idea that a cross-realm license had been issued, nor is there any evidence that the mech was deployed to the DCMS. It is possible the IW reference was simply a typo carried over from technical data of the earlier JagerMech, which was produced by IW and deployed to House Kurita units.
