== 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'' 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 the Mech's tactical options and exploit capabilities that were gained from the failed OmniMech J Configuration. The 'Mech has over 14 tons of pod space available for its techs to install weapons and equipment.  Perhaps one of the ''Arctic Wolf II''&#39;s only weaknesses is its light armor protection, mounting only 6.5 ton of Ferro Fibrous armor.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp50+"/>

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.

*; 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.
