Description
The Kit Fox is a light Clan OmniMech with long-range combat as a primary focus, earning it the Inner Sphere codename of Uller, after the Norse god of archery.
Often fielded by Clan Jade Falcon, the Kit Fox has a surprising amount of firepower, with the ten built-in Double Heat Sinks sometimes barely able to fully cool the 'Mech down. However, the Kit Fox is somewhat slow for it's weight class, only capable of a top speed of 97.2 km/h, provided by a lightweight 180 XL Fusion Engine. Available tonnage is further increased by the use of a lightweight Endo Steel chassis. Four tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor provide the Kit Fox with ample protection.
Armament
In the primary configuration of the Kit Fox mounts an ER Large Laser on the left arm as it's primary source of firepower, supplemented by a LB 5-X Autocannon for tactical flexibility. The other arm mounts a Small Pulse Laser and a Streak SRM-4 rack, for close range combat.
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config A - The A configuration of the Kit Fox uses a Gauss Rifle as it's primary long-range weapon. Two ER Medium Lasers provide medium and short-range firepower. BV (1.0) = 1,218, BV (2.0) = 1,310
- Alt. Config B - The B configuration of the Kit Fox boasts a rapid-fire Ultra Autocannon-10 as it's primary weapon, startling considering the 'Mech's tonnage. An ER Medium Laser, ER Small Laser, and a SRM-6 rack allow the Kit Fox B to finish off anything that manages to close ranges. BV (1.0) = 1,016, BV (2.0) = 1,088
- Alt. Config C - An attempt to employ the Kit Fox in a scouting role, the C configuration has but one ER Large Laser for long-range combat. Instead the Kit Fox C mounts numerous light weapons, equipped with a Small Pulse Laser and dual Machine Guns. Two A-Pods provide excellent protection against infantry. While the Kit Fox C still has a somewhat slow speed, it is far more durable than other scout 'Mechs, and carries an array of three Anti-Missile Systems and an ECM Suite to further it's survivability. An Active Probe allows for detection of hidden units while scouting. BV (1.0) = 1,195, BV (2.0) = 1,150
- Alt. Config D - The Kit Fox D is configured for indirect fire support, mounting dual LRM-15 racks as well as a LRM-5. A Narc Missile Beacon is also carried, which may be exploited by the Kit Fox D itself, as the targeting systems of Clan LRMs lack a minimum range; this literally allows the Kit Fox D to run up to an enemy and mark them for increased accuracy, and then fall back, firing the entire time. BV (1.0) = 1,070, BV (2.0) = 1,142
- Alt. Config E - The Kit Fox E sports the new Advanced Tactical Missile system, mounting an ATM-3 rack, which can fire ammunition specifically designed for maximum effectiveness at a certain range, causing more damage at shorter ranges. Six added Jump Jets, allowing for a jump capacity of 180 meters, provide the Kit Fox E with additional mobility, allowing it to better exploit the ATM system, and an ER PPC provides the high firepower common to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,520, BV (2.0) = 1,418
- Alt. Config F - The F configuration of the Kit Fox is armed with powerful Hyper Assault Gauss 20 which is capable of delivering large amounts of damage, especially for such a small 'Mech. This is backed up by two Medium Pulse Lasers for close combat. BV (2.0) = 1,219
- Alt. Config H - The Kit Fox H sports the new Heavy Laser system for doubled close-range firepower, mounting dual Heavy Medium Lasers. A Gauss Rifle is used as the primary high-damage, long-range weapon. BV (1.0) = 1,122, BV (2.0) = 1,214
- Alt. Config S - The Kit Fox S is intended for urban combat situations, and mounts six Jump Jets for increased flexibility. A Large Pulse Laser provides the Kit Fox S with it's primary source of firepower. A Medium Pulse Laser and a Small Pulse Laser complement this, with a Streak SRM-4 for additional firepower. For point defense versus infantry, the Kit Fox S also mounts dual Machine Guns. BV (1.0) = 1,354, BV (2.0) = 1,342
- Alt. Config W - intended for medium to close range combat the W configuration carries a simple yet effective arsenal. Its primary weapons are a pair of Large Pulse Lasers which are backed up by two Medium Pulse Lasers for close range combat. BV (2.0) = 1,431
