notes-

an xl was chosen for the increased speed.

a standard fusion can be taken with out change to design if speed is reduced to 4/6.

good god NO! I'm sorry man but I do NOT like this design. how much are you charing for it? nearly 11.5 mil? Thats insane!!!! Vehicles get destroyed to easily. Now I know the clans don't fully care about economics, but if they were given a choice between more mechs or more vehicles they'd take the mechs with XL engines, not the tanks.

Ack ack ack.

Gotta go with Raven on this one. Over-costed, over-engined, under-armed, and without a purpose. It just reads like a pile of numbers stuck together.

Needs a little direction.

well seen as its just that, numbers stuck together.

while tanks may get easily destroyed, having that much armor has got to do something.

the weapons were choosen to emulate that of the timber wolf. but getting twin er ll is just a bit tough. so i traded for twin streaks.

but overall its just a lets see mech.

oh and an after note.

i figure tha mech production is a slower more complicated task, then building a tank. no matter what engine you put in it.

using this and assumed time to train tank crews [usually freebirths and washouts] is probly considerably less.

points at crew men 1- can you drive?
crewmen 1- yes.
traineer- good your the driver.

traineer- points at crewmen 2, can you pull the trigger?
crewmen 2- yes.
traineer- good your gunner.

and the last guy commands.

so i was using this for base idea.

try dropping the xl for fusion.

you loose speed but reduce cost.
