Description
Designed for the original Star League after the Reunification War as a BattleMech without legs, the Von Luckner is fully capable of blasting light 'Mechs to pieces. Named after Count Felix von Luckner of twentieth century Terra, the Von Luckner is one of the few tanks to use a fusion engine; most vehicle-mounted reactors having been salvaged for 'Mechs. Few of these vehicles remain, but they are lethal against light 'Mechs.
Armament
The Von Luckner mounts an impressive array of weaponry. Its main gun is a turret-mounted Armstrong Autocannon 20, which can strip off more than a ton of armor in one salvo. A LRM 10 provides long range and indirect fire, while two SRM 6s and an SRM 4 adds to its close range punch. A Ramsey Machine Gun and Firestorm flamer provide anti-infantry capabilities. All these weapons means that the vehicle is heavily ammo-dependant, which increases the risk of ammo explosions.
Variants
House Davion has a number of Von Luckner variants, one of which removes some of the missile systems but adds an improved targeting and tracking system to the autocannon.
