Description

The Hellcat II, though bearing a similar name to the Hellcat, possesses little or no resemblance. The craft is intended to carry a Beagle Active Probe into AeroSpace combat. The Hellcat II was one of the last additions to the SLDF before the Amaris Civil War, having been commissioned in 2710.

Armament & Capabilities

With an armament consisting entirely of laser weaponry, the Hellcat II excels at strafing. The fighter also has very good maneuverability and heavy armor for a 50-ton craft. This, combined with the Beagle Probe, mean that the Hellcat II can pick its dogfights judiciously.

Armament of the craft include 2 wing-mounted Diverse Optics/A Large Lasers and a rear-facing Starflash Medium Laser.

Variants

  • Hellcat HCT-212 - Armed with two Large Lasers, co-axed with pair of Medium Lasers. With one set of each type of laser mounted in wings. The craft has 16 Heat Sinks. It does not have the Beagal probe mounted in it. The craft is prone to over heating if all weaponry is fired at once. BV (2.0) = 1,212
  • Hellcat HCT-214 - The craft is configured with Beagle Active Probe mounted in nose. The craft is armed with two ER Large Lasers with pair of Medium Lasers in each of the wings. It has also been fitted with 14 Double Heat Sinks. BV (2.0) = 1,375
  • Hellcat HCT-215 - Based on the 214 variant, the 215 retains the Beagle-Probe. The Large Lasers are replaced with Five Light PPCs, two mounted in each wing together with an ER Medium Laser and the fifth mounted up front. Heat management has improved, with the number of Double Heat Sinks increased to 15. Armor and internal structure have also been reinforced on this variant. BV (2.0) = 1,686

Related AeroSpace Fighters

  • Hellcat - The Hellcat II was designed as a radical redesign of the Hellcat, which is 10 tons heavier.
