Description
The Fire Falcon was created in the early-3050s, apparently as a replacement for the Mist Lynx. The Fire Falcon is faster, has more front-facing armor, and more pod space, though it lacks the Jump Jets of that earlier 'Mech. It makes use of weight-saving materials in the form of an XL Engine, an Endo Steel internal structure, and four tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. Clan Jade Falcon first produced this OmniMech on their capital of Ironhold, but they soon began to produce it on the Occupation Zone headquarters of Sudeten.[1][5]
Armament
The primary configuration of the Fire Falcon is best at short to medium range. There, it can bring its twin Streak SRM-4 launchers, Medium Pulse Laser, two ER Medium Lasers, and two ER Small Lasers to bear. While this barrage is powerful for a 'Mech its size, ten double heat sinks are mostly able to keep the design cool.[1][5]
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A - This first variant uses an Ultra Autocannon/2 and a LRM-10 to bombard from long range. An ER Small Laser provides close defense. BV (1.0) = 742[1][6], BV (2.0) = 822[7]
- Alt. Config. B - This is also a long-range configuration that makes use of a pair of ER Large Lasers guided by a Targeting Computer. BV (1.0) = 1,275[1][8], BV (2.0) = 1,570[9]
- Alt. Config. C - Designed for scouting and work against conventional infantry, the C uses an Active Probe to find hidden targets. To use against those targets, it carries a Medium and Small Pulse Laser, one ER Small Laser, and a pair of SRM-6s. Against soft targets, four Machine Guns provide ample killing power. BV (1.0) = 930[1][10], BV (2.0) = 1,004[11]
- Alt. Config. D - A spotter, the D carries TAG and a Narc Missile Beacon. If it gets caught in combat, it can use a pair of SRM-4s and one ER Medium Laser. BV (1.0) = 745[1][12], BV (2.0) = 826[13]
- Alt. Config. E - This variant uses a single ATM 12 and enough ammunition bins to enable it to carry each of the different kinds of ammo. BV (1.0) = 1,014[1][14], BV (2.0) = 1,094[15]
- Alt. Config. F - This variant is designed to destroy infantry and battle armored troops. Equipped with an Active Probe to sniff out targets, each side torso carries a Machine Gun Array with four Machine Guns. The arms each carry an ER Micro Laser and ER Small Laser to deal with battle armor. For heaver targets, the Fire Falcon F carries a single ER Large Laser. BV (2.0) = 1,135[16]
- Alt. Config. H - The H configuration uses a pair of Heavy Medium Lasers and a pair of Heavy Small Lasers. Another pair of Medium Pulse Lasers provide more accurate fire, while three additional heat sinks keep the 'Mech safe. BV (1.0) = 1,003[1][17], BV (2.0) = 1,162[18]
