==Description==
The '''''Arctic Wolf II''''' is a [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] medium [[OmniMech]] that was developed during the [[Jihad]], and finally deployed in [[3085]]. The design is based on the OmniMech variant of the original ''[[Arctic Wolf]]'', and has improved on the original, which had a number of problems including technical glitches and a lack of speed. The ''Arctic Wolf II'' addresses speed concerns by using the original ''Arctic Wolf''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Light Force 280]] [[XL engine]], and seven [[Grandthrust Mk. 4]] [[jump jet]]s were also installed to further increase the 'Mech's mobility and tactical options. With over 14 tons of [[pod space]] available for its techs to install weapons and equipment, perhaps one of the ''Arctic Wolf II''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s only weaknesses is its light armor protection, mounting only six and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp50+"/>

The '''''Arctic Wolf II''''' is a [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] Medium [[OmniMech]] that was developed during the [[Jihad]], and finally deployed in [[3085]]. The design is based on the OmniMech variant of the original ''[[Arctic Wolf]]''.  The original OmniMech version had a number of problems, including technical glitches and a lack of speed. The ''Arctic Wolf II'' addresses speed concerns by using the original ''Arctic Wolf's'' Light Force 280 rated XL Fusion Engine. Seven Grandthrust Mk. 4 Jump Jets were also installed to increase tactical capacities that were gained from the failed OmniMech J Configuration.  The 'Mech has over 14 tons of pod space made available to its engineers to install weapons and equipment.  Perhaps one of the ''Arctic Wolf II's'' only weaknesses is its light armor protection, boasting only 6.5 ton of Ferro Fibrous armor.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 50 - ''Arctic Wolf II's'' background and spec info.</ref>
  
== Weapons and Equipment ==
+
==Armament==
Designed for long-range engagements, the Primary configuration boasts a pair of shoulder mounted [[LRM-15]] launchers with three tons of ammunition. The launchers are backed up by a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s, each mounted in one of the 'Mechs arms and a [[small pulse laser]] in the right torso. The 11 mounted [[double heat sink]]s handle the majority of the heat burden.
+
The 'Mechs Primary Configuration is tailored to short-range engagements.  It consist of four Streak SRM 4 launchers mounted in both arms and side torsos with two tons of ammunition to supply all four launchers. For backup weaponry, the 'Mech sports a pair of Small Pulse Lasers mounted in the right torso. This configuration also features an Active Probe and an ECM Suite.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 51 - Configuration info for Prime Config.</ref>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : Tailored to short-range engagements, the A configuration consists of four [[Streak SRM-4]] launchers mounted in both arms and side torsos with two tons of ammunition to supply all four launchers. For backup weaponry, the 'Mech sports a pair of [[small pulse laser]]s mounted in the right torso. This configuration also features an [[active probe]] and an [[ECM suite]], with one [[double heat sink]] removed to make room for the additional equipment.

A : Designed for long-range engagements, the A configuration boasts a pair of shoulder mounted LRM 15 launchers with three tons of ammunition.  The launchers are backed up by a pair of [[ER Medium Lasers]] mounted in each of the 'Mechs arms. Heat issues are mitigated by the addition of a single [[Double Heat Sink]]. BV(2.0)=2,111<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 51 - ''Arctic Wolf II's'' A Configuration info.</ref>
  
*; Alternate Configuration B : Designed for flanking actions, the B configuration has four standard [[SRM-4]] launchers mounted in its arms and side torso pods, while a single [[large pulse laser]] and [[small pulse laser]] make up the 'Mech's backup weaponry. The 'Mech is also equipped with an extra [[double heat sink]], increasing the total to 12, and three tons of ammunition for its short ranged missile launchers.
