Description
An OmniMech that has gained a reputation as a ferocious and deadly adversary the Warhawk is a powerful 'Mech that first appeared on the battlefields of the Clan Invasion Corridor and earned the code name Masakari from warriors within the DCMS who faced it. The Warhawk was most commonly seen in use by Clan Smoke Jaguar and was also seen in use by Clan Ghost Bear during the invasion. The Warhawk is powered by a massive 340 XL Engine that gives it a top speed of 64.8 km/h and has thirteen and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor to protect itself from enemy fire. To dissipate the waste heat produced in its various configurations it has an awesome twenty double heat sinks. Additionally though not truly fixed equipment on the chassis the Warhawk manages to incorporate an advanced Targeting Computer into each of its configurations making all of its direct fire weapons extremely accurate.
Armament
In its primary configuration the Warhawk has an impressive arsenal of long range weapons which are centered around four ER PPCs that take advantage of the 'Mechs Targeting Computer. While unable to fire all of the ER PPCs at once it can use a volley fire strategy to manage its heat. These are backed up by an LRM-10 launcher that allows the Warhawk a secondary weapon that can be utilized for long range combat.
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A - Configured for a more all around combat role the Warhawk A has two ER Large Lasers for long range combat. These are supported by an LB 10-X Autocannon that can fire both solid and cluster ammunition and an LRM-15 launcher capable of providing long range missile fire support. For close combat the 'Mech mounts a highly accurate Streak SRM-6 launcher. BV (1.0) = 2,167
- Alt. Config. B - The B configuration of the Warhawk doesn't seem to work in any one truly defined role. For long range combat the 'Mech has a Gauss Rifle which can do a great deal of damage at long range. For close combat the 'Mech has three ER Medium Lasers and a single ER Small Laser as well as two SRM-6 launchers. Finally the 'Mech also caries a Narc Missile Beacon launcher which is capable of tagging a 'Mech with a beacon that can be used by friendly units for more accurate missile fire on the designated target. BV (1.0) = 2,063
- Alt. Config. C - The C configuration is a sort of compromise on the Primary configuration of the Warhawk. The 'Mech carries two ER PPCs for deadly accurate long range fire. These are supported for close combat by a pair of powerful and already highly accurate Large Pulse Lasers whose lethality are only increased by the Targeting Computer. The 'Mech carries a Flamer as well for use against infantry and has three additional double heat sinks to handle the 'Mechs heat load. BV (1.0) = 2,522
- Alt. Config. D - A 'Mech that can handle itself well at long range the Warhawk D caries as its primary long range weapons a pair of ER Large Lasers which are supported by an Ultra Autocannon/10 which can fire at twice the rate as a standard autocannon. The 'Mech has for short range a single ER Small Laser and as a sort of wild card caries an ATM-9 launcher which can fire ammunition for long, medium and short ranges which carry larger warhead payloads as the ranges close. BV (1.0) = 2,238
- Alt. Config. H - A close combat configuration of the Warhawk the H configuration carries as its only true long range weapon an LRM-10 launcher. This is backed up by a pair of Large Pulse Lasers and also a pair of Heavy Large Lasers which give the 'Mech incredible close range damage potential. To handle the heavy heat load the Warhawk H carries an additional five double heat sinks. BV (1.0) = 2,185
