Description
The Yinghuochong is a Mid-32nd Century Light BattleMech, first produced by the Capellan Confederation. The Yinghuochong, which translates from Chinese language as "fireflyglowwormlightning bug"[2], was built on a modified chassis of the Confederation's first BattleMech, the Firebee. With its given weapon and equipment layout, the design is able to act as a scout killer, while also being able to spot and dispense remote sensors to aid friendly forces in spotting and targeting enemy units.
The design first appeared in combat in 3144, taking part in the Capellan Confederation's invasion of the Federated Suns' Capellan March.[3][4]
Armament & Capacities
The Yinghuochong's sole weapon is a Clan Sea Fox-produced Type DDS “Kingston“ Extended-Range Particle Projection Cannon. The powerful Clan-tech weapon allows for the Yinghuochong to be able to swiftly take down an enemy, without reliance on ammunition. In the course of integrating the Clan technology, the builders would discover 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 TAG unit mounted in its right arm actuator.
The 'Mech features seven tons of Hellespont Lite Ferro-Fibrous armor and five Improved Jump Jets, giving it respective protection and mobility in combat.[5]
Variants
- YHC-3Y - Created in part due to the difficulty to acquire the Sea Foxes' powerful ER PPCs, this variant features a TSEMP Cannon in the place of the Kingston ER PPC. BV2=1,401[6]
