Description
The Anvil was originally intended to act as a brawler BattleMech in its original design and testing phase. The 'Mech was paired with the Hammer 'Mech after the Anvil's tests showed the two 'Mechs would work well together. The Anvil is built using a Vlar 300 engine that provides the Anvil with both durability and a maximum speed of 86.4 kph. The Anvils mobility is enhanced with three Chilton 365 jump jets that allow the 'Mech to jump up to ninety meters. The Anvil is armed with a short range arsenal that makes the 'Mech a powerful brawler when combined with its mobility, armor, and protection against advanced electronics with its Apple Churchill Guardian ECM Suite.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
The Anvil carries a powerful short range arsenal. The primary weapons are a pair of Sutel Precision Line Large Pulse Lasers which provide powerful medium to long range firepower. The short range firepower is bolstered with a pair of Martell Medium Lasers.[4]
Variants
- ANV-5M
- Looking to increase the long range firepower of the Anvil, the 5M removes the Large Pulse Lasers and replaces them with two ER Large Lasers and two more Medium Lasers have been added to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,452[2], BV (2.0) = 1,687[6]
- ANV-5Q
- The 5Q variant of the Anvil is a modification that looks to increase the 'Mechs heat dissipation abilities. The ECM Suite has been removed with a half ton of armor and the 'Mech has had two double heat sinks added to the design. BV (1.0) = 1,210[2], BV (2.0) = 1,336[7]
- ANV-8M
- The 8M variant is a radical modification of the 'Mech intended to provide artillery fire support. This is done by removing the 'Mechs entire arsenal, the jump jets, and reducing the 'Mechs engine size. This massive amount of saved space is used to mount a engine that allows the 'Mech to move at 64.8 kph and the 'Mech has had a MASC system installed that allows the 'Mech to travel at up to 86.4 in short bursts. The 'Mech has had an Arrow IV artillery system installed as its primary weapon and a ER Large Laser for long range combat. For close combat, the 'Mech has two ER Medium Lasers. Finally, the 'Mech is equipped with a Guardian ECM Suite to protect itself from enemy electronic warfare equipment. BV (1.0) = 1,138[2][9], BV (2.0) = 1,690[10]
Notable Pilots
- Sir Paul Masters, leader of the Knights of the Inner Sphere, piloted an Anvil battlemech in the initial invasion of Huntress until he lost it in the battle of New Andery.
