==Description==
 
==Description==
The [[Word of Blake]] wanted to create quad [[BattleMechs]], but were unable to produce the kind that they wanted until they acquired the [[light engine]] technology from the [[Lyran Alliance]]. As with many Word [['Mech]]s, the majority were funneled to secret units. The '''''White Flame''''' is as protected by its [[jump jet]]s that can propel it up to 150 meters as by its fifteen tons of armor. A [[C3i Computer]] allows it to share targeting telemetry with other similarly equipped units.<ref name=TRO3067-84>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 85</ref>

As with many Word [['Mech]]s, the majority were funneled to secret units. The '''''White Flame''''' is as much protected by the [[jump jet]]s that can propel it up to 150 meters as by its fifteen tons of armor. A [[C3i Computer]] allows it to share targeting telemetry with other similarly equipped units.<ref name=TRO3067-84>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 85</ref>
  
==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
The [[Tronel XIII]] [[Large Pulse Laser]], [[Tronel XII]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and two [[Diverse Optics (ER Medium Laser)|Diverse Optics]] [[ER Medium Laser]]s give the ''White Flame'' an all-energy configuration for its offensive weaponry. This gives it the ability to operate far from supply for extended periods, but the damage rate is rather low when compared to other 'Mechs of a similar size. Its strength is undoubtedly its speed, which it can use to harass enemies and keep from taking too many hits.<ref name=TRO3067-84/>

*; WHF-3C : This variant's pulse lasers are replaced with a [[Ceres Arms Crusher]] [[plasma rifle]] that increases the heat levels in units it strikes. In order to make room for it, a ton of armor and a [[double heat sink]] were removed. The ER medium lasers, C3i, and [[anti-missile system]] are all retained, though the AMS only has half the ammunition available. It also carries a [[heavy-duty gyro]].

* WHF-3C - This variant of the ''White Flame'' can truly turns its enemies into flames. The pulse lasers are replaced with a Ceres Arms Crusher [[Plasma Rifle]] that increases the heat levels in units it strikes. In order to make room for it, a ton of armor and a [[double heat sink]] were removed. The ER Mediums, C3i, and anti-missile system are all retained, though the AMS only has half the ammunition available. BV (2.0) = ???{{cn}}
 
 
*; WHF-4C : This variant uses a [[Small Cockpit]] to free some room. A [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] and ER Medium Laser are mounted in the head, while another ER Medium Laser, two Medium Pulse Lasers, and a [[Snub Nose PPC]] make up the rest of the armament. This ''White Flame'' carries thirteen double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 1,680<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 134</ref>
 
 
 
== Design Quirks ==
 
The ''White Flame'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 95 Design Quirk Table - White Flame Entry.</ref>
 
* [[Directional Torso Mount|Directional Torso Mount (LT/RT)]]
 
* [[Bad Reputation]]
 
* [[Exposed Actuators]]
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
* In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to '''''Weißglut''''', which means ''White Heat''. The model code was accordingly changed to '''WSG-3B'''.
