Description

The Wolf Trap is a 'Mech that the Draconis Combine designed to used as a long range combat 'Mech. The 'Mech is built on a [[Endo Steel] chassis and protects the ammunition stores that it carries onboard with CASE which redirects the force of the explosion when an ammunition bin is hit by enemy fire. The 'Mech has a very respectable speed of 97.2 kph which it achieves through the use of a Hermes 270 XL Engine. Finally the 'Mech is protected with seven and a half tons of armor giving it a good amount of armor protection when in combat.

Armament

The Wolf Trap carries as its main weapon an Imperator Code Red LB-X Autocannon/10, which allows it to fire both standard solid shells or cluster shells that act like a shotgun and cause damage all over the enemy. For added long range firepower the Wolf Trap carries a Shigunga LRM 10 launcher which allows it to fire directly and also give indirect fire support when needed. Finally for close combat the 'Mech carries a pair of Victory 23R Medium Lasers. This varied arsenal lets the Wolf Trap effectively engage an enemy at any range.

Variants

  • WFT-C - a minor modification of the Wolf Trap. The C model is modified to carry a c3 slave unit onto the battlefield allowing the Wolf Trap to share targeting telemetry with other friendly units. The 'Mech achieves this by removing one of the Medium Lasers that it carries. The 'Mech also upgrades its heat sinks to double heat sinks giving it greater heat dissipation capabilities.
