Description - Battlemech
Originally conceived as a test-bed for a future OmniMech, the Arctic Wolf BattleMech was produced on Arc-Royal by Clan Wolf-in-Exile to both bolster the Clan's touman and work out the kinks in production of its Omni-Pod at the same time. Like the Pack Hunter, some materials used in the design were obtained from the Kell Hounds, though the design is Clan-tech in every way that matters. This fast medium 'Mech is designed to close quickly and unleash over forty short-range missiles at an opponent before withdrawing just as quickly. The ten double heat sinks can be overwhelmed, but only if a MechWarrior insists on staying in the fight for going full-tilt for long periods. The Arctic Wolf is protected by six tons of standard armor.
Armament
The design of the Arctic Wolf is simple: get close, unleash a torrent of missiles, and get out. To do this, it is armed with six Type 1 SRM Six-Shooters and two Type 1 Cross-Pattern SRM-4 Launchers. Aiding the accuracy of these missiles is the Tracker Series Narc Missile Beacon. The Arctic Wolf also boasts an impressive four tons of ammunition for its launchers.
Variants
- Arctic Wolf 2 - The one variant replaces the SRM-4s and two SRM-6s with an Alpha Series Large Pulse Laser. This gives the 'Mech some long-range capability and provides it with a punch weapon, as well as increased accuracy and a reduction on ammunition dependency. BV (1.0) = 1,207[1], BV (2.0) = 1,511
Description - OmniMech
Finally introduced in the lead-up to the Jihad, the OmniMech version of the 'Mech is a refinement of the design. While retaining the Endo Steel chassis and ten double heat sinks, the Omni version is now clad in Ferro-Fibrous Armor for increased armor protection but slower than its parent design with a maximum speed of 90 km/ph, the smaller engine increasing available pod space.[3]
- Prime Config. - The Prime is based on original model the Arctic Wolf, but the extra space allows it switch to four SRM Streak 6 Launchers with four tons of CASE protected ammunition. The Arctic Wolf Prime has also been fitted with Jump Jets. BV (2.0) = 1,641[4]
- Alt. Config. A - Also introduced in 3060s as well, this configuration is principally armed with a pair of shoulder mounted LRM 15 Launchers with four tons ammunition. For close-range fighting, the 'Mech utilizes a paired with a SRM 6 launcher with Small Pulse Laser in each arm acturator. For added protection, the 'Mech is fitted with a ECM Suite. BV (2.0) = 1,587[5]
- Alt. Config. J - Created during the Jihad, this configuration main weapon is a Plasma Cannon. The weapon has been given a ton of ammunition in combat. Main weapon is packed up with four Streak SRM 4 Launchers in arms and shoulders. The 'Mech has been given a single Heavy Medium Laser in left arm pods. As with the A configuration, Wolf also has ECM Suite fitted in right shoulder to added to its protection from some sophisticated weaponry. BV (2.0) = 1,786[6]
Notes
The OmniMech version of the Arctic Wolf has not been given separate article due at time of this writing, has no fluff.
