Description

Traditionally seen as a Davion BattleMech, the Enforcer was commissioned to be redesigned by then First Prince Victor Steiner-Davion in an effort to rebuild his image within the sundered Federated Commonwealth. While not completely successful in the latter goal, the Enforcer III does succeed in bringing a classic 'Mech up to a more modern standard. The Enforcer III is built on a Dorwinion Standard-Alpha Endo Steel chassis that weighs half as much as a comparable standard chassis. The Enforcer III is powered by a powerful Magna 250 XL Engine that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h. The Enforcer IIIs mobility is enhanced with a jumping capability of one hundred and fifty meters provided by its five McCloud Specials jump jets. The Enforcer III is armored with ten tons of StarGuard CIV armor that gives it good armor protection.

Armament

The Enforcer III carries as its primary weapon a Mydron Excel Ultra Type 10 Ultra Autocannon/10 that can put twice as much firepower on a target as a standard autocannon of the same class and can keep up a barrage at its maximum firing rate for over a minute and a half. The Ultra Autocannon is backed up by a BlazeFire Sweetshot ER Large Laser and a Chiscomp 2000 ER Small Laser. This balanced mix of weapons makes the Enforcer III a powerful medium 'Mech. Additionally, due to the 'Mechs similarities to the original Enforcer, the Enforcer III has become a direct replacement for destroyed Enforcers in many units.

Variants

  • ENF-6T - A field refit turned factory variant of the Enforcer III, the 6T model removes the Autocannon, ER Large Laser and ER Small Laser in favor of a powerful Poland Gauss Rifle for sniping and an Diverse Optics ER Medium Laser for close combat. The weapons on the Enforcer III are all linked to an advanced Targeting Computer that gives the 6T model incredible accuracy. Spare weight and space allows the factory built 6T to mount a hand on the left arm as well as an extra half ton of armor. BV (1.0) = 1,614[1], BV (2.0) = 1,720 [3] [4]
  • ENF-6G - Proposed at the same time as a 6T but not seeing the light of day until shortages of targeting computers during the FedCom Civil War, the space reserved for the targeting computer is devoted to a bevy of lasers, re-adding the ER small laser, adding two extra ER mediums and a single Medium Pulse Laser. [4]BV (1.0) ??, BV (2.0) = 1,858[5]
  • ENF-6H - A variant based off the 6T, the 6H mounts a mammoth Mydron Ultra Autocannon/20 in place of the gauss rifle. [4]BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,603[6]
