Lao Hu LHU-2B

Hey guys,

I'm working on creating a Lao Hu out of MW parts and pieces. I was wondering if any of you knew and could tell the load out on one.

The idea being that once complete I can create some stats.

thanks all

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Credit for the development of the Lao Hu belongs to a young student at
the Victoria Academy of Arms and Technology. She noted that the Thunder
design, though successful, contained a few flaws easily corrected with the new
construction materials now obtainable through Chancellor Liao's Xin Sheng
efforts in the military-industrial complex. The student was given the
privilege of naming the new 'Mech, dubbing it the Lao Hu, which means Tiger in
Hanyu (Chinese). The design has lived up to its namesake, proving to be a
powerful and aggressive force on the battlefield.

==Capabilities:==
The top-heavy Lao Hu was designed from the start to bridge the gap
between heavy and assault-class BattleMechs and hold its own against superior
machines. The autocannon is the same LB 20-X found on the Yu Huang assault
'Mech. It is supplied with enough ammunition to conceivably destroy two to
four assault machines. This ambitious design also increased the Lao Hu's
demand for extended campaigns.
The Lao Hu also possesses a strong long-range weapons profile. An
extended-range large laser in the left arm complements the torso-mounted
long-range missile rack. With the varied LRM munitions developed recently,
these two weapons augment the 'Mech's already strong tactical position. The
Lao Hu's aggressive nature is enforced by the GM 375 XL engine, which bestows
the best movement curve a 75-ton 'Mech can employ. With speeds ranging up to
86 kilometers per hour, the new design has a rapid approach, trading out the
LRM rack for an autocannon at an effective range.

==Variants:==
Both Lao Hu variants retain the ER large laser for its solid jousting
ability. The LHU-3B shaves off a ton of armor and trades down its LB 20-X for
an LB 10-X. The LRM-15 is scaled back to an LRM-10 with Artemis Fire Control
System. This saving in weight allows the Lao Hu to mount one of the
Confederation's still-rare C3 master computers. The 3B variant is reserved for
high profile units only.
The LHU-3C is far more common than the 3B and is beginning to rival the
2B in numbers. A standard Gauss rifle with two tons of ammunition replaces the
LB 20-X. The LRM-15 is cut apart into three LRM-5s and three tons of ammo,
allowing for maximum tactical flexibility.

==Deployment==
The Lao Hu entered service in 3062, in time to see some action in the St.
Ives conflict though its role was usually underplayed. The strength of the
design shows, however, in the numerous petitions since then from assault-class
lances and companies requesting the Lao Hu.
For her role in developing the 'Mech, the student (who was drafted early
from school by the Prefectorate Guard) was awarded the prototype she helped
build and escorted by a full lance of these machines into the Guard. Now into
its seventh production run with several variants and outstripping Shengli
Arms' Jinggau in popularity, there are few regiments in the Confederation that
do not boast at least one of these new 'Mechs.

With the readout it seems the Mech has more punch than I had originally thought. I knew the speed/armor was respectable for a 75 tonner...

Nothing special- any number of people would have done the same for you over on CBT.Com (*subtle hint hint*)

'TPTB' (The Powers that Be) are fairly easy on this sort of thing. The couple that pop up asking if someone knows where they can get a free downloadable version of the latest sourcebook are a bit much (Genius- going to the official website to ask for pirated copies :rolleyes: ) but even when new weapons and items were released in Solaris VII's mappack, a blind eye was turned to some people that put up a new weapon's rules. In fact, the only time I can recall them saying something was when an invididual came back three, four or five times to ask the writers themselves for the rules (at that point, you should buy the book :) )

Yup. It's a nice machine for sure. The 2B is a similiar loadout to a Bushwacker variant. As I recall, the...1X (?) Bushie carries an ER Large Laser and a LBx20 with a 5/8/0 movement curve. In addition to throwing on more armour, the Lao manages to somehow fit an extra LRM15 in there (granted, it's got an extra 20 tons...but the engine is considerably bigger too).

The 3C is also pretty nice. ER Large to conserve ammo, the Gauss to punch holes (or headcap...) and LRMs to crit with...or make use of the special LRM muntions the cappies developed.

It only lacks Jumpjets or Stealth armour to make it a real pain in the behind.

It is true.

Lau Hu
Men Shen
Raven
Shen Yi
Anubis
Yu Huang
Ti T'sang
Tian Zong
....

the list keeps going on.

Personally I think a Men Shen is sorely needed in Mechwarrior, if only we could get it in our Battle force set. Oh well.
