Its higher ground speed allows it to quickly strike at an enemy formation's flanks and withdraw. Though slower than lighter cavalry units, the 180 meter jump range offsets this disadvantage. To make room for the weapons and engine, the ''Cuirass'' uses an [[XL gyro]], [[XL engine]], and [[endo steel]] construction. [[CASE]] protected the autocannon ammunition, but pilots should remember that the eight tons of armor is not enough to stop heavy weapons fire. The use of the extralight engine and gyro also make the 'Mech vulnerable to penetrating armor shots. Another drawback is the use of single heat sinks on the 'Mech, and although this reduces cost, MechWarriors who are careless with their heat management can quickly find themselves shut down.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp26+"/> + Built on the same chassis as the ''[[Sentry]]'' and ''[[Watchman]]'' BattleMechs, the '''''Cuirass''''' is designed for the cavalry role.
