==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Yinghuochong''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sole weapon is a [[Clan Sea Fox]]-produced [[Type DDS "Kingston"]] [[ER PPC]]. This powerful [[Clan]]-tech weapon allows the ''Yinghuochong'' to swiftly take down an enemy, without relying on ammunition. While integrating the Clan technology, the designers discovered an effective cooling jacket included with the Kingston, keeping the weapon cooler than traditional ER PPCs.

In its head section, the ''Yinghuochong'' has a [[remote sensor dispenser]], with the standard 30 remote sensors payload. Additionally, it is able to spot for artillery fire with a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] unit mounted in its right arm actuator. The 'Mech features seven tons of [[Hellespont Lite]] [[light ferro-fibrous]] armor, [[XL gyro]], and eight [[improved jump jet]]s, giving it respectable protection and mobility in combat.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', pp.30-31, 81 ''Yinghuochong'' - "Stats"</Ref>
