Description

The Fireball is a 'Mech that was designed to be a fast response 'Mech. The 'Mech is built around a massive DAV 220 fusion engine. This propels the 'Mech at speeds of up to 183.6 kph which allows the Fireball to respond to a call from anywhere in the line for immediate support. The high speed of the Fireball comes at a price though as the 'Mech has armor protection of only four tons which cannot stand up to any degree of enemy fire and the 'Mech has only limited weapons because of its light weight and extremely high speed.

Armament

The Fireball is armed with a Hovertec Streak SRM 2 as its primary weapon that gives it highly accurate short-range firepower. For anti infantry use the 'Mech is armed with a LFN Lindblad Machine Gun.

Variants

  • ALM-8D - The 8D variant of the Fireball was built in an attempt to reduce the Fireballs ammunition dependence as well as increase its firepower. This is done by removing the Streak SRM 2 launcher and replacing it with two Medium Lasers increasing the raw firepower of the Fireball. The 'Mech has also received an additional half ton of armor. BV (1.0) = 481
  • ALM-9D - The 9D is a compromise between the 7D and 8D models. The 'Mech removes the Machine gun and its ammunition and replaces them with a Medium Laser and the 'Mech retains its Streak SRM 2 launcher as well as gaining half a ton in armor protection. BV (1.0) = 434
