Comment: Why? Just Why? What did the poor infantry ever do to you? This is pure Steiner ingenuity and strangely I love it. Utterly nuts but wonderful.

BattleMech: Azure Valkyrie Shadow Hawk

Comment: This design is not functional. Neither your autocannon nor your SRM2 have any ammo. The only viable weapon is the one-shot LRM5, with only the single shot. This design can only serve as a moving target, and with only four and a half tons of armor it is a short lived one.

As this is a Clan battlemech, a XL engine is pretty much considered standard issue for most designs and the freed up weight would allow for the necessary ammo and armor. Also, I can't think of any clan 'mechs that don't have double heat sinks, so swap those over and replace the A/C5 with an ER PPC to give the design better range and damage potential. As the design stands, it is a deathtrap.

Comment: It looks to me like the concept of this 'Mech is to run circles around it's targets while hammering them with it's turret mounted weapons. While an interesting concept, I think it's suffers from trying to be everything at once and creating a lot of problems in doing so.

Issues:
- Simply not enough heat sinks. You'll never be able to fire the third large laser without melting the machine, cooking the pilot/ammo.
- The primary weapons are long range and thus does not require such high speed.
- Unless it is on flat terrain, the high speed and long range would be hindered by elevations or obstacles.

My advice would be to slow the 'Mech down, increase the armor protection and heat dissipation. Try and get it so that third Large laser can be fired at least every other round. It has C3, let a lighter, faster unit with C3 get in close to give the bonuses. Keep this in the back-lines as fire support.

Another option would be a lighter 'Mech with Mid-range weaponry.
