Description
The Ostscout was designed as strictly a recon 'Mech. In order for the Ostscout to be successful in this mission it was built with a maximum speed of 129.6 kph. The design also utilizes eight jump jets to give it a jumping capacity of 240 meters, allowing it to outmaneuver almost any BattleMech in existence. The Ostscout also relies on an advanced sensor suite to allow it to get information about the surrounding terrain and the disposition of enemy forces. Most Ostscout pilots will not even attempt to engage against any enemy as the advanced sensor system is extremely rare and is just about impossible to get replaced.
Armament
The Ostscout carries a single Tronel II Medium Laser. This weapon, while not extremely powerful, is enough to dissuade most light scout assets from attempting to pursue.
Variants
- OTT-7K - The -7K Ostscout takes advantage of the new TAG laser designator and replaces the Medium Laser with it. Otherwise, the -7K Ostscout is identical to the 7J model. BV (1.0) = 372, BV (2.0) = 484
- OTT-9CS - The -9CS model is a complete upgrade of the venerable Ostscout. The 'Mech has been rebuilt from the ground up with an Endo Steel internal structure. In addition, the design uses an extralight engine to free up weight for advanced electronics and weaponry. For self-defense, the -9CS model carries two ER Medium Lasers and an ER Small Laser. For scouting purposes, the 'Mech carries a Guardian ECM suite, a Beagle Active Probe, a TAG laser designator, and an improved C3 computer. BV (1.0) = 734, BV (2.0) = 940
- OTT-9S - The -9S model is also a rebuild of the Ostscout. This model also uses an Endo Steel chassis, as well as Ferro-Fibrous armor. For protection, the 'Mech carries two ER Medium Lasers and two Anti-Personnel Pods to discourage infantry attacks. The electronics carried by this 'Mech include a Beagle Active Probe, Guardian ECM suite, and a TAG laser designator. BV (1.0) = 631, BV (2.0) = 868
- OTT-10CS - The 10CS Ostscout saves weight through the use of an XL Engine and an XL Gyro, which gives up durability for more combat payload weight, allowing the 'Mech to jump up to three hundred meters through the use of ten improved jump jets. The 10CS carries an imrproved C3 computer to communicate with similarly equipped units and carries two ER Medium Lasers for defensive combat capabilities.
