==Overview:==
After seeing the success of the Mantauffel and Ajax OmniTanks, General Motors
set about designing a hovertank with the same technology. The result of
several months of work was named Werewolf, for its ability to change form and
function quickly. The machine was fast and powerful, with an XL fusion engine
and modest armor freeing tonnage for impressive firepower. Perhaps
understandably, GM was rather unpleasantly surprised when the AFFS flatly
refused to even consider looking at the machine, citing its cost and light
armor as reasons.
After being forced back to the drawing board in such a manner, GM took another
look at the Mantauffel an Ajax designs. After a second look at those, and with
the initial reasons for the Werewolf's rejection, GM drastically shifted the
project's aim. The first change was the removal of the XL fusion engine for a
standard one. This reduced the vehicle's speed slightly, but significantly
reduced its cost. The second change was to nearly double the amount of armor
the vehicle carries. With these things settled, GM resubmitted the design to
the AFFS, where it was quickly approved. The vehicle's initial test
deployments have gone so well that the AFFS asked GM to license the design to
Corean Enterprises (makers of the Musketeer) in order to speed the rate of
construction.
==Capabilities:==
Despite the loss of capability in its second incarnation, the Werewolf
Hovertank is a powerful vehicle. The most notable feature is armor - ten tons
of StarGuard ferro-fibrous armor mean that the Werewolf has in any location
armor comparable to what heavy or even assault class BattleMechs can expect.
This heavy armor ensures that the expensive OmniTank can survive most anything
the enemy can throw at it with a minmum of damage to internal components.
The Werewolf's primary configuration mounts a class 5 rotary autocannon as its
primary armament, supplemented by a trio of medium lasers. A common tweak of
this variant replaces the lasers with two ER weapons and a TAG designator,
closely mimicking the Musketeer's loadout.
Configuration A is designed for precise engagement in any terrain. A single
PPC slaved to a targeting computer provides the primary firepower, while a
pair of Streak SRM 4 missile racks mounted on either side of the PPC exploit
armor breaches to destroy internal equipment, especially in BattleMechs.
Similar to configuration A, configuration B is desiged for combat in an urban
environment. A single large pulse laser and a Streak SRM 6 missile launcher
are mounted side-by-side in the turret, allowing the Werewolf to hit hard
while minimizing collateral damage. A Guardian ECM Suite is added for stealth
and protection from things like NARC and Artemis. A targeting computer is also
mounted, further increasing the pulse laser's inherent accuracy.
Configuration C is intended as a fast moving fire support vehicle, and mounts
a single LRM 20 launcher, with Artemis IV and three tons of ammunition. A pair
of ER medium lasers are mounted as defensive weapons.
Configuration D is rarely used. It serves as a heavy scout, mounting a Beagle
probe, Guardian ECM, TAG designator, and Narc launcher. Three medium lasers
and one small laser provide defensive firepower, while an anti-missile system
and three tons of ammunition protect it from long range missile fire.
==Deployment==
So far, a single company of Werewolves has been deployed, all of them serving
in the First Armored Cavalry Auxiliary, a hovercraft unit attached to the
First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry.
In the past, it was rumored that the techs of Wolf's Dragoons had become
highly adept at quickly reconfiguring their Bandit hovercraft after an
engagement, making them harder to recognize later and increasing confusion
among the enemy. Whether or not this was true at the time, the techs assigned
to Werewolves today have set about making it true. The ability to seemingly be
something or someone else fits very well with the tactics of the First
Federated Suns Armored Cavalry, and this quick reconfiguring will likely
become a recommended tactic when the Werewolf reaches full front line
deployment.

I'm starting to agree with you. I used C3 in MegaMek recently, and it came out better than I'd expected it to. Besides, these were fun to work up. I'm wavering on what works and what doesn't, so there might be some unnecessary variants. (Like two master variants.) Advice from people who've used C3 more would be appreciated.
And these C3 Masters sure do get expensive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Variants:==
About halfway into the Werewolf's test deployment, those members of the High
Command who wish to see the C3 computer system used more widely in the AFFS
got the chance to test their ideas. A full company of OmniHovertanks in a
single place made for the perfect test deployment of the Kallon-produced C3
computers. Accordingly, the Armored Cavalry recieved a suitable shipment of C3
equipment, along with orders to test it, and work out new tactics for its use
in conjunction with the Werewolf.
The C3 system has so far proven to work very well with the Werewolf, and
several standardized C3 variants have already been devised.
The E variant is a platoon master, and carries the master C3 computer.
Weapons-wise, it carries an Artemis equipped LRM 15 launcher, enabling it to
support its subordinates. A single ER medium laser is present for self
defense. This meager armament makes speed the vehicle's primary defense.
The F variant is another platoon master. A single PPC provides the sole
firepower - while this limits range and damage, it frees the vehicle from
ammunition constraints. A Guardian ECM Suite protects both vehicle and the
network from electronic threats, and an anti-missile system protects the
master vehicle from missile fire.
The G variant is the primary C3 slave variant, and is intended to bring the C3
slave in close to provide targeting data for the rest of the unit. The G
mounts a pair of Streak SRM 6 missile launchers to let it take advantage of
armor breaches inflicted by longer ranged partners. Two medium and one ER
small laser provide extra firepower, and a Guardian ECM suite protects it from
electronic threats, especially Artemis equipped SRMs.
The H variant is essentially the opposite of the G. The H mounts a pair of
LB2-X autocannon, some of the longest range weapons available to hovertanks.
Combined with the C3 slave, the H's autocannon can inflict significant damage
against the enemy over time. Two ER medium lasers are mounted for close
defense.
The I variant is intended to strip armor from targets at range, using a C3
slave and a single ER PPC. The extra heat sinks required to support the ER PPC
make it less efficient than other variants. An anti-missile system and a
rocket launcher are added for defense.
The J is an improvised variant. During company level manuevers, it quickly
became obvious that nothing already carrying double C3 masters could keep up
with the fast hovercraft. The Werewolf J can keep up, and carries two C3
master computers to supprt a company level network. These take up most of its
free tonnage however, so its only defenses are one large and two small lasers.

| Pretty interesting design. C3 on a hovercraft makes for a good spotting unit. There is a lot of expensive equipment on most of the varients, this isn't something you'd want to keep in the line of fire for to long and risk losing units.

Ok here are some tips on C3 use.
A) Have at least one long-range specialist to take full advantage of the C3 network. Two out of four's fine too.
B) The spotting unit(s) need to be very heavily armoured. Max armour on mechs is advised. Weapons should be strongly close range. (though at least one long-range weapon should be present).
C) The spotting unit needs to be fast. But that goes without saying 
D) Keep an eye on ECM equipped units. Target them first if possible. If i'm not wrong, as long as you can stay out of their range, C3 still works against them. So if your unit A is 7 hexes away from ECM unit, your unit B, which is 20 hexes away, should still benefit.
E) For some reason, the Thanatos works very well for me as the spotter... yes it has an XL engine, but it seems to last really long for me and while its firepower isn't really that heavy it does do some damage and stays in battle long enough for its lance mates to take advantage of the network.

I have had good success mounting a C3 slave on a Savannah Master. Sure it no longer has any weapons but it's amazingly hard to hit.
