================================================================================================
Overview:
    An update of the Archer C by some Clans along with a refit for captured Archers, the C 3 is
    more of a sidegrade than a full upgrade. Replacing the arm mounted lasers with improved
    heavy medium lasers gives extra fire power at closer range. Clan double heat sinks replace
    the single heat sinks, with a total of 14 mounted. Making the most of the saved weight,
    Artemis IV targeting computers are added to the LRM launchers to improve them. An additional
    4 tons of ammunition is mounted to allow for the deployment of specialty ammunition as
    needed, or for increased endurance in the field. For a second line battlemech, the Archer C
    3 is a nasty surprise to many Mechwarriors who assume all they are looking at is a standard
    ARC-2R.
