================================================================================================
Overview:
    As the DCMS called for a new calvary tank in 3025 Scarborough Manufacturers answered with
    their first non-hover vehicle: the tracked Wild Weasel Light Tank.

Capabilities:
    Scarborough made the uncommon decision to use a rare fusion engine to design a light and
    fast tank with a heavy weapon.
    Due to that fusion engine the 25 ton tank can achieve a maximum speed of 97 kph in open
    terrain and 119 kph on roads.
    The Wild Weasel carries an unexpected heavy type of weapon: a single
    turret mounted PPC. The minimum range can pose a problem but the designers thought it fast
    enough to keep its distance.
    The armor isn't that massive but was considered sufficient.

Variants:
    Some vehicles that survived the 4th Succession War were modified with new technology.
    An ER large laser and two heat sinks replaces the PPC to gain range and negate the minimum
    range  at the cost of some firepower.
    The turret was lightened and 5 tons of the new ferro-fibrous armor now protect its frame.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Scarborough only delivered a small series of 40 vehicles to the DCMS and some mercenaries
    deemed worth it.

Another (kinda) variant:

Swap Fusion for Fuel Cell.

Swap PPC for LAC/2 w/ 1t ammo (T), SRM/2 w/ 1t ammo (T), Recon Camera (F), Infantry Bay 1t, and CASE.

I would favor AP ammo and Tandem-Charge warheads.

Cost: 599,375.

I like the LPPC variants.
The LAC variant just feels like something totally different,
But not bad either.
