==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Wildfire'' traded the ''Crusader''’s long range firepower for speed and armor protection. Intended to pursue fast-moving opponents, the ''Wildfire'' used a suite of pulse lasers as its primary armament. (The pulse lasers’ increased hit probability offset the inefficiency of the Torso Mounted Cockpit.) When in close combat with an enemy, the pair of [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers provided additional firepower without being wasteful. The [[Machine Guns]] were very useful for defending against enemy infantry units.

==Notes==
* The ''Wildfire'' record sheet in ''Unbound'' contains numerous errors. It does not show Endo Steel, [[ferro-fibrous armor]], or an XL engine that are detailed on p. 73. An [[anti-missile system]] plus ammunition are shown in the ''Critical Hit Table'' (in the head and right torso, respectively), but are not shown in the ''Mech Data'' section, nor are they mentioned in the description on p. 73. The entry in ''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'' shows the correct structure, armor, and engine, plus replaces the AMS with one machine gun in the head and removes the AMS ammunition.

*The top speed (95.1) is slightly lower than what the engine and tonnage would provide (97.2), but this has no impact on gameplay and might be a typo.

* In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to '''''Feuersturm''''', which means ''Fire Storm''. The model code was accordingly changed to '''P1-FS'''.
