Slow but well armored, the ''Ahab'' really depends upon its two [[Delta Dart (LRM-20)|Delta Dart]] [[LRM-20]] launchers, with three tons of ammo each, to soften up opponents at extreme range. When the ''Ahab'' closes it switches to its [[Federated-6]] [[SRM-6]] launchers with two tons of ammo to finish them off. A [[Thunderbolt 2C]] [[large laser]] is really just a deterrent used when the ammo has been depleted, while two [[CeresArms]] [[medium laser]]s located in the rear of the craft compensate for the weaker armor protecting the fighter against pursuers.<ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050U246/>

*; AHB-643 : This new version removes all the standard weaponry and replaces them with wing-mounted [[MRM-40]] racks with a ton of ammunition. In addition, two [[Rocket Launcher 10|10-pack rocket launcher]]s were added to the wingtips for extra punch.

*; AHB-MD : The most recent and deadly variant mounts a [[large pulse laser]] and two [[medium laser]]s in the nose, guided by a [[targeting computer]], making it a surprisingly deadly dogfighter. An [[MRM-40]] rack under each wing with four tons of ammunition, as well as hardpoints for two [[Alamo]] nuclear weapons, turns this bird into a [[DropShip]] killer.
