Reminds me slightly of the original Orion, which had less missiles and the class 5 autocannon. I think there's a bit much SRM ammo, but other than that, this is a beauty.

While the original is constructed to deliver its punch mostly at medium to short ranges this variant divides its firepower into long range and short range.
The loss of firepower at medium ranges due to the AC/10 / AC/5 change is balanced out by more firepower to the longer ranges (as AC/5's are far reaching weapons in 3025).
The additional heat sinks and the maxed armor will give it time to deliver its short range punch as the ON1-V was lacking in both!
Nice work!



EDIT: Quite a nice post for being the 666th!! Twisted Evil

Well, it's a return to old original and it's also an attempt to correct the ON1-V without returning to ON1-K completely. Maybe if I installed a PPC instead of the AC and added two more heat sinks Wink

I've tried an ON1-K with a PPC instead of the AC/10 and 17 (!) heat sinks!
Worked quite well!

Seems to be a very standard and viable variant. Nothing new and exciting yet different. Keeps the big armor. At range it averages 14 points of damage, all ammo which is a little weak for such a big Mech. At close range it is dishing 28 average with some of that being seekers for holes. This is a mid performance Mech, but the Armor is its value but the ammo is tricky.

AWAD- Vehicles would hate this one

Still better than the botched 1V. It's also a little return to thae old variants, which had weaker AC.

This zombie will just walk on and on untill you shoot it to pieces. Not easy...
