Description
Designed by a student at the Victoria Academy of Arms and Technology the Lao Hu is based on the Thunder BattleMech and is designed to correct perceived flaws in the Thunder using new technologies available to the Capellan Confederation. the Lao Hu is built on a lightweight Chariot Type II Endo Steel that carries a GM 375 XL Engine which gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h while sacrificing some survivability for more free weight and a heavier weapons payload. The Lao Hu is protected by an impressive 13.5 tons of armor capable of weathering hits from all but the heaviest weapons.
Armament
The Lao Hu is capable of engaging an enemy at most any range. For long-range combat the Lao Hu has a Martell ER Large Laser and a Zeus LRM-15 launcher giving the 'Mech a powerful long range punch. For close combat the Lao Hu has a devastating Shengli LB 20-X AC which is capable of firing both solid rounds for armor penetration and cluster rounds allowing it to find holes in already penetrated armor and for anti-aircraft use.
Variants
- LHU-3B - modified to carry a C3 Master Computer the 3B downgrades its autocannon to an LB 10-X AC and replaces the LRM 15 with an LRM-10 with an Artemis IV FCS. The 3B uses its C3 computer to link together an entire C3 Lance and gives the 'Mech unparalleled accuracy when part of a C3 lance. BV (1.0) = 1,281
- LHU-3C - the 3C is intended to spar with its enemies at long range. The 'Mech replaced the LB 20-X AC with a powerful Gauss Rifle. Additionally the 3C removed the LRM-15 in favor of three LRM-5 launchers giving it the same firepower but allowing it to spread it over a greater number of targets. BV (1.0) = 1,611
