Description
The Hound is the first BattleMech built by the Filtvelt Coalition that doesn't use RetroTech. Instead it uses equipment from the Succession Wars era and later to create a versatile combat 'Mech. The parts used by the Hound are popular and easy to maintain, making the 'Mech popular not just with pilots but with logistical personnel as well. The standard fusion engine means that the Hound can keep fighting even if it has lost a side torso, unlike many 'Mechs which use an XL engine.[1]
Weapons and Equipment
The Hound's main firepower comes from an LB 10-X autocannon in a shoulder mount similar to that of the Shadow Hawk. Two tons of ammunition is carried as well, allowing the Hound to penetrate an opponent's armor and then switch to cluster rounds to increase the odds of inflicting damage on internal systems. A pair of Light PPCs are mounted in the right arm to supplement the autocannon. Though they only do half the damage of the standard PPC, the Light PPCs have the same range as that weapon. This insures that the Hound will be able to "reach out and touch someone" even if its ammo bins run dry. For close in work the pilot has an SRM-4 with a ton of ammunition and a single medium laser.[1]
Design Quirks
The Hound is subject to the following Design Quirk:[1]
