	==Description==		==Description==
−	Designed in [[Introduction Year::2774]] as an anti-aircraft platform and long-range fire support unit, the '''''JagerMech''''' was intended to correct several perceived faults of the original ''[[Rifleman]]''.  [[Kallon Industries]] went about reviewing the battlefield performance of the ''Rifleman'' and identified three critical flaws: it ran too hot, it was too lightly armored, and it didn't carry enough ammunition.  Kallon's engineers built the ''JagerMech'' with these issues in mind and while they managed to address the heat and ammunition problems they were unable to increase its armoring despite the larger chassis.  In the end the company saw this as less of an issue since, as they noted, the ''JagerMech'' is a second-line 'Mech whose long-ranged [[autocannons]] allow it to engage many enemies without suffering return fire.<ref name=TRO3025r>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', pp. 84–85</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', pp. 148–149</ref>	+	Designed in [[Introduction Year::2774]] as an anti-aircraft platform and long-range fire support unit, the '''''JagerMech''''' was intended to correct several perceived faults of the original ''[[Rifleman]]''.  [[Kallon Industries]] went about reviewing the battlefield performance of the ''Rifleman'' and identified three critical flaws: it ran too hot, it was too lightly armored, and it didn't carry enough ammunition.  Kallon's engineers built the ''JagerMech'' with these issues in mind and while they managed to address the heat and ammunition problems they were unable to increase its armoring despite the larger chassis.  In the end the company saw this as less of an issue since, as they noted, the ''JagerMech'' is a second-line 'Mech whose long-ranged [[autocannons]] allow it to engage many enemies without suffering return fire.<ref name=TRO3025r>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 84-85</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 148-149</ref>
−	During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] the largest numbers of ''JagerMech''s served the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Capellan Confederation]], with relatively few found in the other [[Great Houses]].  The 'Mech became especially associated with the Suns, not least because its primary factory was located on the moon [[Wernke|Talon]], and was used extensively by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]].  It was most often used to form fire support [[lance]]s, working in conjunction with similar 'Mechs like the ''[[Dervish]]'' and ''Rifleman'', while also being deployed as part of attack and strike lances to provide support for their lancemates.  After the [[Fourth Succession War]] Kallon contracted out with [[Independence Weaponry]] on [[Quentin]] to increase production of the ''JagerMech'', but the planet was captured by the [[Draconis Combine]] in the [[War of 3039]] and the production line fell under their control.  Although the Kuritans were never big fans of the 'Mech it slowly began appearing in large numbers in their [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery|armed forces]].<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', pp. 74–75</ref>	+	During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] the largest numbers of ''JagerMech''s served the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Capellan Confederation]], with relatively few found in the other [[Great Houses]].  The 'Mech became especially associated with the Suns, not least because its primary factory was located on the moon [[Wernke|Talon]], and was used extensively by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]].  It was most often used to form fire support [[lance]]s, working in conjunction with similar 'Mechs like the ''[[Dervish]]'' and ''Rifleman'', while also being deployed as part of attack and strike lances to provide support for their lancemates.  After the [[Fourth Succession War]] Kallon contracted out with [[Independence Weaponry]] on [[Quentin]] to increase production of the ''JagerMech'', but the planet was captured by the [[Draconis Combine]] in the [[War of 3039]] and the production line fell under their control.  Although the Kuritans were never big fans of the 'Mech it slowly began appearing in large numbers in their [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery|armed forces]].<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 74-75</ref>
	Despite its improvements over the original ''Rifleman'' it soon became apparent the ''JagerMech'' was in desperate need of a redesign to improve survivability on the battlefield.  Utilizing [[lostech]] which had been discovered in the last few years Kallon was able to build a new variant, the JM6-DD; fortuitously it came into production just months prior to the [[Clan Invasion]].  After the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] summit on [[Outreach]], [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] agreed to share the technical specifications of the JMS-DD with the Kuritans, resulting in these new ''JagerMech''s seeing significant action across the Clans' invasion paths.  After the war nearly every [[regiment]] in the Draconis Combine and [[Federated Commonwealth]] featured new and refitted ''JagerMech''s.<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/>		Despite its improvements over the original ''Rifleman'' it soon became apparent the ''JagerMech'' was in desperate need of a redesign to improve survivability on the battlefield.  Utilizing [[lostech]] which had been discovered in the last few years Kallon was able to build a new variant, the JM6-DD; fortuitously it came into production just months prior to the [[Clan Invasion]].  After the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] summit on [[Outreach]], [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] agreed to share the technical specifications of the JMS-DD with the Kuritans, resulting in these new ''JagerMech''s seeing significant action across the Clans' invasion paths.  After the war nearly every [[regiment]] in the Draconis Combine and [[Federated Commonwealth]] featured new and refitted ''JagerMech''s.<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/>
−	After the [[FedCom Civil War]] further development of the ''JagerMech'' split along three different lines.  The first were simple field refits of the original JM6-DD, such as the H and DG models.  The second was a complete overhaul as part of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s "Redesign for Davion Pride" program, resulting in the ''[[JagerMech III]]''.  The third was the creation of a divergent line, the JM7 series, built on a slightly heavier chassis massing 70 instead of 65 tons that was nevertheless not considered a new 'Mech.  In [[3069]] the ''JagerMech'' factory on Talon was destroyed due to the [[Jihad]], leaving only the Quentin factory to still produce the 'Mech.<ref name=TRO3050u/>	+	After the [[FedCom Civil War]] further development of the ''JagerMech'' split along three different lines.  The first were simple field refits of the original JM6-DD, such as the H and DG models.  The second was a complete overhaul as part of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s "Redesign for Davion Pride" program, resulting in the ''[[JagerMech III]]''.  The third was the creation of a divergent line, the JM7 series, built on a slightly heavier chassis.  In [[3069]] the ''JagerMech'' factory on Talon was destroyed due to the [[Jihad]], leaving only the Quentin factory to still produce the 'Mech.<ref name=TRO3050u/>

−	The ''JagerMech'' mounts two pairs of [[Mydron]] autocannons; each arm is fitted with a [[Mydron Model C|Model C]] [[AC/5]] and a [[Mydron Model D|Model D]] [[AC/2]]. Ammunition for these is carried in the torso, two tons for the class-5 autocannons split between left and right torso and one ton for the class-2s in the center, allowing for twenty full-strength volleys.  A pair of [[Magna Mk. II]] [[medium laser]]s are mounted in the left and right torso in case the 'Mech must engage the enemy at close range. Ten [[single heat sink]]s dissipate waste heat generated by these weapons. The long range of its autocannons, combined with the excellent [[Garret SatComm|Garret]] [[Garret D2j|D2j]] [[targeting and tracking system]] (made famous by the ''Rifleman''), makes it a prime choice for anti-aircraft work. The range of its autocannons also allow it to engage many enemies without suffering return fire, and when stationary it is able to fire all its weapons without heat buildup thanks to ten [[single heat sink]]s.  Carrying only a miserly six tons of [[standard armor]], the ''JagerMech'' is very vulnerable to return fire.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=IRS>''Classic BattleTech Introductory Record Sheets'', p. 19</ref>	+	The ''JagerMech'' mounts two pairs of [[Mydron]] autocannons; each arm is fitted with a [[Mydron Model C|Model C Medium Autocannon]] and a [[Mydron Model D|Model D Light Autocannon]].

−	*; JM6-B : This variant from ''MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries'' predates the rediscovery of the Helm (or, alternately, Gravenhague) Memory Core. It exchanges the traditional autocannon-centric gun fit of the JM6-S for large lasers in each arm and secondary medium lasers in both side torsos, in order to free the JM6-B from close dependency on ammunition resupply for its main weapons. These changes ultimately reduce max range and increase heat dissipation issues, with only 13 single heat sinks. Despite needing competent heat management, this variant proved to be well-suited for extended use in austere conditions such as frontier worlds, out in the Periphery, and by smaller mercenary units that could not always count on fresh expendables. A pair of LRM-15 launchers—the only ammunition-dependent weapons—are split between the side torsos; with 8 volleys each, these provide a partial compensation for the extreme range capability lost with the removal of the JM6-S's AC/2s, and introduce a respectable indirect-fire capability.

[[Kallon Industries]] went about reviewing the battlefield performance of the ''Rifleman'' and identified three critical flaws: it ran too hot, it was too lightly armored, and it didn't carry enough ammunition. Kallon's engineers built the ''JagerMech'' with these issues in mind and while they managed to address the heat and ammunition problems they were unable to increase its armoring despite the larger chassis. In the end the company saw this as less of an issue since, as they noted, the ''JagerMech'' is a second-line 'Mech whose long-ranged [[autocannons]] allow it to engage many enemies without suffering return fire.<ref name=TRO3025r>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 84-85</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 148-149</ref> During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] the largest numbers of ''JagerMech''s served the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Capellan Confederation]], with relatively few found in the other [[Great Houses]]. The 'Mech became especially associated with the Suns, not least because its primary factory was located on the moon [[Wernke|Talon]], and was used extensively by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. It was most often used to form fire support [[lance]]s, working in conjunction with similar 'Mechs like the ''[[Dervish]]'' and ''Rifleman'', while also being deployed as part of attack and strike lances to provide support for their lancemates. After the [[Fourth Succession War]] Kallon contracted out with [[Independence Weaponry]] on [[Quentin]] to increase production of the ''JagerMech'', but the planet was captured by the [[Draconis Combine]] in the [[War of 3039]] and the production line fell under their control. Although the Kuritans were never big fans of the 'Mech it slowly began appearing in large numbers in their [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery|armed forces]].<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 74-75</ref> Despite its improvements over the original ''Rifleman'' it soon became apparent the ''JagerMech'' was in desperate need of a redesign to improve survivability on the battlefield. Utilizing [[lostech]] which had been discovered in the last few years Kallon was able to build a new variant, the JM6-DD; fortuitously it came into production just months prior to the [[Clan Invasion]]. After the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] summit on [[Outreach]], [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] agreed to share the technical specifications of the JMS-DD with the Kuritans, resulting in these new ''JagerMech''s seeing significant action across the Clans' invasion paths. After the war nearly every [[regiment]] in the Draconis Combine and [[Federated Commonwealth]] featured new and refitted ''JagerMech''s.<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/> After the [[FedCom Civil War]] further development of the ''JagerMech'' split along three different lines. The first were simple field refits of the original JM6-DD, such as the H and DG models. The second was a complete overhaul as part of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s "Redesign for Davion Pride" program, resulting in the ''[[JagerMech III]]''. The third was the creation of a divergent line, the JM7 series, built on a slightly heavier chassis. In [[3069]] the ''JagerMech'' factory on Talon was destroyed due to the [[Jihad]], leaving only the Quentin factory to still produce the 'Mech.<ref name=TRO3050u/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''JagerMech'' mounts two pairs of [[Mydron]] autocannons; each arm is fitted with a [[Mydron Model C|Model C Medium Autocannon]] and a [[Mydron Model D|Model D Light Autocannon]]. Ammunition for these is carried in the torso, two tons for the class-5 autocannons split between left and right torso and one ton for the class-2s in the center, allowing for twenty full-strength volleys. A pair of [[Magna Mk. II]] [[Medium Laser]]s are mounted in the left and right torso in case the 'Mech must engage the enemy at close range. Ten [[single heat sink]]s dissipate waste heat generated by these weapons. The long range of its autocannons, combined with the excellent [[Garret SatComm|Garret]] [[Garret D2j|D2j]] [[targeting and tracking system]] (made famous by the ''Rifleman''), makes it a prime choice for anti-aircraft work. The range of its autocannons also allow it to engage many enemies without suffering return fire, and when stationary it is able to fire all its weapons without heat build-up thanks to ten [[single heat sink]]s. Carrying only a miserly six tons of [[Armor - BattleMechs & Vehicles|standard armor]], the ''JagerMech'' is very vulnerable to return fire.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=IRS>''Introductory Record Sheets'', p. 19</ref> ==Variants== *;JM6-A : Modified specifically for the anti-aircraft role, the A variant was introduced in [[2778]]. It replaces both Autocannon/5s with [[Zeus (Corporation)|Zeus]] [[LRM-15]]s with two tons of ammunition. Weight saved by the change allows the variant to add two tons of armor, approximately half a ton to each forward hit location. Kallon only dedicated two production runs to this variant, most of which served in FedSun [[RCT]]s.<ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 841, BV (2.0) = 1,122<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 151</ref> *;JM6-DD : The DD was the first variation incorporating technology recovered from the [[Gray Death Memory Core]]. The DD replaces the standard engine with an [[XL Engine|XL]] model and converts the armor to [[Ferro-Fibrous]], adding an additional half-ton. The Mydron Medium Autocannons are replaced by [[General Motors Nova-5]] [[Ultra AC/5|Ultra Autocannon]]s, and the Magna standard lasers are replaced with [[Sutel Precision Line]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s. [[CASE]] is mounted in both side torsos to protect the ammunition, with the AC/2 ammunition doubled and moved into these side torsos to take advantage of this. The original design's single heat sinks are retained.<ref name=TRO3050u/> BV (1.0) = 713, BV (2.0) = 965<ref name=TRO3050u/> *;JM6-DDa : The DDa is a [[Jihad]]-era refit first spotted in [[3070]]. A hybrid of the JM6-D and JM6-DD, it uses the chassis, engine, CASE-protected ammunition bays, and armor of the JM6-DD with a weapons complement similar to the JM6-D. The standard Autocannon/5 and [[Light AC/2]]s have similar range characteristics, and can use special munitions. The autocannon and twin medium lasers are also tied into an advanced [[Targeting Computer]]. As the weapons are comparatively cool, ten single heat sinks are used to dissipate heat buildup. (This freed double heat sinks for use on hotter designs.) BV (2.0) = 911<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 94</ref> *;JM6-DG : This field refit was the result of inspired technicians working on ''JagerMechs'' undergoing major overhauls. Introduced in [[3054]] it replaces the autocannons with two [[Gauss Rifle]]s and six tons of ammunition. In order to accommodate this change, the lasers were swapped out for [[ER Medium Laser]]s. The heat sinks were also upgraded to [[double heat sink|double-strength models]]. BV (2.0) = 1,661<ref>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 112</ref> *;JM6-H : The H variation is a late-era [[Periphery]] modification first seen in [[3064]] when the [[Marian Hegemony]] invaded the [[Illyrian Palatinate]]. The entire weapons loadout is replaced with two [[Large Laser]]s, two [[LB-X autocannon/2]]s with one ton of ammunition, and six [[Rocket Launcher 15]]s. Ten tons of ferro-fibrous armor are carried, and ten [[double heat sink]]s carry the heat burden of the heavy lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,203, BV (2.0) = 1,348<ref name=MUL113>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 113</ref> *;JM7-C3BS : This fourth variant of the JM7 series was introduced during the Jihad in [[3075]]. Five tons heavier than the standard JM6-D, each arm mounts a pair of [[Light AC/2]] autocannon and a single [[Snub-Nose PPC]]. An ER Medium Laser is mounted in the center torso. It also uses an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[C3 Boosted Slave]] to share targeting data with its lancemates. BV (2.0) = 1,354<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 99</ref><ref>[http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/1671/jagermech-jm7-c3bs MUL Profile of the JagarMech JM7-C3BS - Includes; Introduction Year, BV2, and a Alpha Strike Data Card.]</ref> *;JM7-D : The first of the heavier JM7 ''JagerMech'' variants introduced in [[3057]], the D variation adds five tons of overall weight to the JM6-DD, four and one-half of which go directly to increased Ferro-Fibrous armor. The Autocannon/2s are replaced with [[ER Large Laser]]s. The weight savings from this swap allows the design to mount thirteen double heat sinks.<ref>This variant was imported to the board game from the [[MechCommander (Video Game)|MechCommander]] computer game.</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,171<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060'', p. 182</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,500 *;JM7-F : Another 70 ton variant, the F variation was introduced in [[3062]]. It replaces the JM7-D's Ultra Autocannon and ER Large Lasers with a pair of [[Rotary Autocannon/5]]s with four tons of ammunition. Aiming assistance is provided by a [[Targeting Computer]], and defense is improved by the addition of a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]. One double heat sink is removed. BV (1.0) = 1,562, BV (2.0) = 1,774<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067'', p. 177</ref> *;JM7-G : This third JM7 variant, introduced in [[3068]], utilizes twin [[Rotary Autocannon/2]]s and [[LB-X Autocannon/2]]s along with a pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s. BV (2.0) = 1,278<ref>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 74</ref> ===Apocryphal Variants=== {{ApocryphalContentStart}} ''From [[MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries]]:'' *;JM6-B : This variant from MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries predates the rediscovery of the Helm (or, alternately, Gravenhague) Memory Core. It exchanges the traditional autocannon-centric gun fit of the JM6-S for large lasers in each arm and secondary medium lasers in both side torsos, in order to free the JM6-B from close dependency on ammunition resupply for its main weapons. These changes ultimately reduce max range and increase heat dissipation issues, with only 13 single heat sinks. Despite needing competent heat management, this variant proved to be well-suited for extended use in austere conditions such as frontier worlds, out in the Periphery, and by smaller mercenary units that could not always count on fresh expendables. A pair of LRM-15 launchers - the only ammunition-dependent weapons - are split between the side torsos; with 8 volleys each, these provide a partial compensation for the extreme range capability lost with the removal of the JM6-S's AC/2s, and introduce a respectable indirect-fire capability. Confirmed sightings in 3044 place initial production at least prior to that year. ''From [[MechWarrior Online]]:'' *;JM6-FB ''Firebrand'' : MWO's ''JagerMech'' [[Hero 'Mech]] is armed with an AC/2 and [[PPC]] in each arm supported by a Medium Pulse Laser in each side torso. ''Firebrand'' is built around an 280-rated XL engine and an [[Endo Steel]] frame, allowing it to carry ten and half tons of standard armor plate, fifteen double heat sinks and two tons of AC/2 reloads.[https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/121217-hero-mech-firebrand/] {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ==Related BattleMechs== *;JM6-D3 : ''[[JagerMech III]]'' is an upgrade of this design commissioned by Prince Victor Steiner-Davion following the secession of the [[Lyran Alliance]].
