Boar's Head



Release: October 2013

Identification: AS7-BH

Class: assault battlemech

Weight: 100 tons

Hardpoints: six energy hardpoints, one ballistic hardpoint and one missile hardpoint

Maximum Armor: 614

Maximum Speed (speed tweak): 64.8 kph (71.3 kph)

Details


TheBoar's Head is a hero variant of the Atlas. The stock mech is faster than any other Atlas variants. It equips also a large number of energy hardpoints.
Unfortunately the stock mech contains a XL engine. And if you decide to use all energy hardpoints, it can run hot quickly.


AS7-BH

• AMS Hardpoint
  
• 6 energy hardpoints, 1 ballistic hardpoint, 1 missile hardpoint (10 missile tubes)
  
• 1/3/2 module slots
  
• no ECM
  
• no jumpjets
  
• maximum engine size: 400
  
• price: 7,500 MC

BOAR'S HEAD

The BH comes with endo-steel structure but without double heat sinks. Double heat sinks are strongly needed for six energy hardpoints.
It depends on the weapons you equip but maybe you need to downgrade the endo-steel structure, if there are not enough slots but there is still much tonnage left.
