Variants:
Clan Hell’s Horses has long been the premier clan for conducting combined arms operations
involving not just BattleMechs, battle armored infantry and aerospace fighters, but also
armor and conventional infantry. Although they already possessed innumerable models of
tanks, they came to admire the Alacorn heavy tank and desired a similar machine, directing
their scientists and technicians to develop a new model and production line on which to
produce them.
Taking the Star League’s model as a basis, Clan scientists knew they could make it better,
by choosing a different weapons layout. Replacing one Gauss rifle with an extended-range PPC
was a good start as it would increase ammo payload for the remaining weapons. Proceeding
from this first change, it was realized that a swap of the remaining two weapons to the
massive type 40 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifles would allow the design to perform well not only
against BattleMechs and armor, but also improve the new Alacorn IIC’s performance against
aerospace fighters. These changes, along with a slight thinning of the armor of the sides
and rear of this machine, enable the design to carry 10 tons of ammunition for the Gauss
rifles, ensuring longevity on the battlefield. A switch to ferro-fibrous armor ensures the
overall loss of armor protection is minimal.
