        BattleTech Vehicle Technical Readout
                      VALIDATED

Type/Model:    Gazelle 
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 3060
Config:        V.T.O.L.
Rules:         Level 2, Standard design

Mass:          25 tons
Power Plant:   135 I.C.E.
Cruise Speed:  118.8 km/h
Maximum Speed: 183.6 km/h
Armor Type:    Standard
Armament:      
  2 LRM 5s
  2 Rocket Launcher 10 (OS)s
Manufacturer:  (Unknown)
  Location:    (Unknown)
Communications System:  (Unknown)
Targeting & Tracking System:  (Unknown)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Gazelle was intended for one purpose and one purpose only: aerial fire
support. 

The twin LRM 5 launchers enable the Gazelle to pepper targets from range,
while the twin RL 10s give it a fall-back in case something is capable of
getting in close; however, given the Gazelle's speed and the range of its main
weapons, this is considered unlikely.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
With invention of the Rocket Launchers and the need to quickly, yet cheaply
out fit his military, Ceasar order the building of a VTOL Gunship that could
support his armies and provide overwhelming firepower for next to nothing in
cost.

The Alphard TC, did not have far to look, all it to was a scanning of old
Terra files on the mid to late 20th Century and they found what they needed.
Thus the Gazelle was reborn.

Not as cheap as I like to see VTOLs for this function. But the RLs are a great touch. It can stay at range easily yet close in if it has too. Nothing goes this fast with Tech 1 that I know. If you drop it to lets say 10/15 or 9/14 can you drop it by 5 tons? Maybe drop 2 RL 10s to 1? Yes it hurts but may make it work.
