Overview:
A Unit from Iron Harvest converted into BattleTech
iron-harvest.fandom.com/wiki/SHM-69_%22Serp%22
The SHM-69 "Serp" is a colossal, bipedal, heavily armored mech specializing in melee and
infantry suppression, although it will generally crush anything it can get its blades into.
Capabilities:
Taller than most buildings, the Serp is an unconventional but nonetheless terrifying force
on the battlefield. Bipedal, it is supported by two relatively small legs with a massive,
heavily armored torso. It has two massive arms bearing large scythe-like blades almost as
long as the mech itself is tall. Like other Rusviet heavy units, it bears resemblance to the
front of a ship, but with something of a "head" in the form of a heavily-armored cockpit.
The Serp can handle almost all units so long as it can get within melee range. Its
relatively low durability still allows it to take a few hits without being slowed down, and
once it gets close enough it deals very heavy damage to all types of armor while making
short work of infantry. It also happens to be the second fastest of all current heavy mech
units, including the other Rusviet heavy mechs the SHM-70 "Gulay-Gorod" and Lev Aleksey
Zubov. All this lends the role of a line-breaker unit pretty well to the Serp, heading an
attack formation to hack and slash through defenses.
However, its still low speed and very short range make it fairly easy to kite or bring down
with concentrated artillery, especially field cannons. It has the second-lowest HP of all
heavy mech units as well, although it has a respectable 400 Health Points over the SKS 156
"Wotan," but it will generally lose a fight to any other heavy mechs like the PZM-24 "Tur"
and the SKS-300 "Kaiser." Properly supported, however, the Serp makes a powerful tip of the
spear, crushing all of its foes for the good of Rusviet.
