Description
After the Clan invasion, the AFFC was eager to replace the armor forces which had been destroyed. Jalastar Aerospace came forwards with a wheeled design, but administrative problems and technical issues delayed full scale production until 3057.
Armament
The main gun of the Typhoon is a Luxor Devastator-20 autocannon, capable of threatening even the heaviest 'Mechs or vehicles. Also mounted on its turret are a Harpoon-6 SRM launcher, a pair of Holly Streak launchers, and a pair of Sutel Precision Line medium pulse lasers. Another pair of Streak launchers are fixed onto the vehicle's front. A Sutel Precision Line small pulse laser covers the rear of the Typhoon. Finally, a Beagle active probe makes it easier to detect enemies in urban combat situations.
Variants
Two variants of the Typhoon are known. The first swaps the autocannon, SRM rack, and small pulse laser for a pair of Rotary AC/5s and four tons of ammunition. The medium pulse lasers are replaced with ER mediums. The second known variant uses a pair of LB 10-X autocannon, and replaces the four Streak systems with a pair of Streak SRM-4s. The Beagle active probe is swapped out for a C3 slave unit and the small pulse laser is replaced with an ER small. The medium pulse lasers and the SRM-6 are dropped entirely.
