Description
The Michaelson Heavy Industries Sprint Scout Helicopter is a nimble fast scout platform popular within the Inner Sphere. It was first released in 3052 with much success to the beleaguered units along the Clan invasion corridor where it was able to keep tabs on the swift deployments of the Clans and dispatch artillery from afar. Such was its success that it quickly became a favored unit within scout and recon detachments throughout the Inner Sphere where it continues to see widespread use. However the nature of battlefields within the Inner Sphere often highlight the one flaw of the design, its mediocre armor.
Armament
As a purpose built recon and artillery spotter, the Sprint relies on a single Beagle Active Probe, a TAG, and its swift speed. It is bereft of any direct weaponry.
Variants
- Laser - This variant drops the TAG for a single medium laser BV(1.0)=353
- Infantry - This emergency rapid deployment variant drops all of the typical recon equipment in favor of a 2.5ton infantry bay. BV(1.0)=12
- C3 - This variant drops the tag for a C3 slave. BV(1.0)=77
- C3i - Foregoing all equipment for a Improved C3 system, this design is favored by both the Word of Blake and Comstar. BV(1.0)=12
