Description
The Fire Falcon was created in the mid-3050s to replace the Koshi. The Fire Falcon is faster, has more front-facing armor, and more pod space available. 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.
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.
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], BV (2.0) = 822
- 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], BV (2.0) = 1,570
- 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], BV (2.0) = 1,004
- 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], BV (2.0) = 826
- 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], BV (2.0) = 1,094
- 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], BV (2.0) = 1,162
