Description
The Shadow Hawk IIC is an inexpensive, second-line Clan BattleMech based upon the Shadow Hawk that was first fielded by the Star League.
Weapons and Equipment
The Shadow Hawk IIC is built on a lightweight Lang T3 endo steel chassis, protected by seven and a half tons of Compound H17 ferro-fibrous armor. This medium 'Mech can reach a respectable top speed of 97.2 km/h thanks to a Consolidated 270 fusion engine, but it also carries enough Northrup Starlifters M45 jump jets to vault up to 180 meters at a time.
The first version of the Shadow Hawk IIC that Inner Sphere forces encountered is meant for close-range fighting, and appears to be designed with urban warfare in mind. Two medium pulse lasers are incredibly accurate in close combat, while four highly accurate Streak SRM-2s are best at exploiting holes in an enemy's armor. An ER medium laser and ER small laser rounds out the weaponry. 10 double heat sinks take care of most heat, especially since the Streaks will build no heat if they do not achieve a lock and fire.
Variants
- Shadow Hawk IIC 2
- This variant is designed for long-range, direct-fire support using two ER large lasers. The ER small laser is retained and supplemented by three small pulse lasers, which are quite accurate and a serious threat to unarmored infantry. BV (1.0) = 1,517 BV (2.0) = 1,763[4]
- Shadow Hawk IIC 3
- A newer variant that dates to the late 3050s, the Shadow Hawk IIC 3's main gun is a heavy large laser. It is supplemented by a medium pulse laser, and additionally carries paired ER micro lasers and micro pulse lasers for use against infantry. Four additional double heat sinks keep down the heat generated by the all-laser complement. BV (1.0) = 1,398 BV (2.0) = 1,471[5]
- Shadow Hawk IIC 4
- First fielded in 3060, the Shadow Hawk IIC 4 was a joint effort by Clan Nova Cat and Clan Diamond Shark to upgrade their second-line forces. The result was a 'Mech that is visually very different from the design it is a variant of. This 'Mech carries a Type 6 Series ATM-6 with three tons of ammunition to allow for flexibility of choice. The missile launcher is backed up by two Series 14NC medium pulse lasers and a Series 2NC ER medium laser. BV (1.0) = 1,663 BV (2.0) = 1,698[6]
- Shadow Hawk IIC 5
- This variant uses twin Zeta-Series X plasma cannons and a trio of Tau-II AP Gauss rifles to decimate non-BattleMech formations. BV (2.0) = 1,614[7]
- Shadow Hawk IIC 6
- This version uses an XL engine to make room for a HAG 20 and three tons of ammunition. To back it up, the Shadow Hawk IIC 6 mounts two medium pulse lasers, an ER small laser, and a small pulse laser. BV (2.0) = 1,907[8]
- Shadow Hawk IIC 7
- This Clan Snow Raven variant is used in space combat to support or repel boarding attacks. Eight improved jump jets tied into extended capacity fuel tanks allow the Shadow Hawk IIC 7 to maneuver in space very easily. Once grounded, the smaller 225-rated XL engine reduces the top speed slightly, but the jump jets easily compensate for this. To reduce handling problems in space the weapons array consists of low-recoil ER large lasers, ER medium lasers, and a medium pulse laser. In fact the only recoil-producing weapon is the ATM-6 in the right torso. Three tons of ammunition space allow the Shadow Hawk IIC 7 pilot to tailor the weapon load depending on the situation. BV (2.0) = 1,999[9]
- Shadow Hawk IIC 8
- This variant increases the maximum speed of the 'Mech to 97.2 km/h with the use of a 270-rated XL engine, and nine improved jump jets allow it to cover 270 meters in a single bound. A head-mounted ECM suite disrupts enemy electronic systems. Armaments come in the form of an ER large laser and LRM-10 for long ranges, while a heavy medium laser and micro pulse laser mounted in each arm for close ranges. This variant carries slightly less armor on the limbs and center torso. BV (2.0) = 1,940[10]
- Shadow Hawk IIC 9
- This variant was introduced in the Dark Age. It carries anER large laser, an ATM-6, and two ER medium lasers. It has a top speed of 97.2 km/h, and can jump 180 meters at a time. BV (2.0) = 1,803[11]
Design Quirks
The Shadow Hawk IIC is subject to the following Design Quirks:[12]
