Military version:
BattleTech Vehicle Technical Readout
VALIDATED
Type/Model: HIP military
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3060
Config: V.T.O.L.
Rules: Level 2-FA, Standard design
Mass: 25 tons
Power Plant: 85 I.C.E.
Cruise Speed: 97.2 km/h
Maximum Speed: 151.2 km/h
Armor Type: Standard
Armament:
4 Rocket Launcher 10 (OS)s
4 Machine Guns
Manufacturer: (Unknown)
Location: (Unknown)
Communications System: (Unknown)
Targeting & Tracking System: (Unknown)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The HIP ("Helicopter, Infantry Placement") is the third offering to come out
of the Duchy of Small.
The HIP appears to be some sort of hybrid between an assault helicopter and a
cargo helicopter. The HIP sports a cargo bay that can contain 4.25 tons of
cargo or passangers without negatively affecting its speed, making it good for
moving entire companies or large quantities of supplies in a hurry. However,
it also sports four RL 10 units and four machine guns, with the RL 10s being
mounted in pylons under the wings while the machine guns are all mounted
beneath the nose.
While the HIP appears to be a potent military asset, one must question the
wisdom in putting so many troops aboard a single unit, especially one that is
airborne.
==Variants:==
A "civilian" variant has been proposed, in which the weapons systems and
three-fourths of a ton of armor are removed in order to allow more weight
capacity inside the massive cargo bay. A tracked APC could theoretically fit
inside.

Wow, well armored "Infantry Delivery System"!
The MG's would be a nightmare for enemy infantry formations and the RL's can deliver quite a punch!
Maybe I would drop some armor for more speed.

At present, this is the Duchy's only indigenously-produced helicopter. Given this, it has to serve as both an assault helo and a cargo carrier. It needs all of that armor just to stay alive.

It is seldom that a VTOL is downed by breaching its fuselage armor but mostly by shattered rotors so my helis praise speed before armor ( max 2,5 tons ).
But on the other side you can play with the risk and slug it out with that front and side armor! A mech that just hit a chopper with an AC/20 would be very astonished to see this thing flying away nevertheless! Hell, it can even withstand the hit of an HGR at close range!!!!

No, a HGR will kill it (25 damage...)
But it is pretty impressive.

Yes! Because it has 25 points of front armor! 
I didn't refer to the civil variant!
