================================================================================================
Overview:
    A configuration favored by mercenaries bordering the Clan occupation zones and able to
    obtain limited numbers of clan equipment from salvage or trade, the TDR-5SV is a refit of
    the classic TDR-5S, incorporating LosTech, and requiring minimal factory time. The addition
    of CASE keeps the two tons of long range missile ammunition safe, while the switch to Double
    Heat Sinks helps to cool the notoriously hot Thunderbolt. Exchanging the medium lasers for
    ER Clan models, and the large laser for a clan Large Pulse laser ups its punch, and more
    than makes up for loss of the SRM2 and ammunition to make space for the new heat sinks. The
    machine guns have been replaced by a pair of small pulse lasers, reducing the ammunition
    dependency of the design while keeping the machine true to its original multipurpose role.
    The only original weapon left on the Thunderbolt is the Delta Dart LRM15, a reliable weapon
    improved by the inclusion of NARC capable ammunition. The armor protection of the
    Thunderbolt TDR-5SV is improved by half a ton, rendering it incredibly well protected for
    its weight - more than some assault mechs.
