Description

The Clint was conceived of in 2507 as a direct result of the Star League Armaments Act. The 'Mech is primarily designed as a recon unit, but also acts as a low end medium weight line 'Mech when needed. The Clint is able to serve both of these roles because of the balanced mix of speed and firepower, with a maximum speed of 97.2 km/h and a jumping capability of up to one hundred and eighty meters.

Armament

The Clint was originally designed to carry an Armstrong Buster Autocannon but due to problems involving the stress limits of the 'Mechs chassis the autocannon was downgraded to an Armstrong Autocannon/5. As secondary weapons the Clint carries two Martell Medium Lasers. This well balanced mix of weapons when combined with the Clints above average maneuverability for its size make the Clint a highly effective multi-role BattleMech.

Variants

  • CLNT-1-2R - The 1-2R Clint is the original variant that carries the Armstrong Buster Autocannon/10. It also has a single medium laser as a secondary weapon. This version of the 'Mech doesn’t have any jump jetting capability. BV (1.0) = 621
  • CLNT-2-3U - The 2-3U upgrade of the Clint strips all of the weapons from the chassis and replaces them. The most radical of which is the primary weapon. The AC/5 has been replaced with an ER PPC, additionally the medium lasers were replaced with Medium Pulse Lasers. The 'Mech has also been upgraded to use double heat sinks. BV (1.0) = 943

The 'Mech carries an ER Large Laser as its primary weapon. This is backed up by three ER Medium Lasers. The 5U also carries an advanced C3 slave unit and a TAG spotting laser to allow it to designate targets for friendly units. BV (1.0) = 1,118
