Irian brought the Albatross design up to date by replacing all they could with home produced
clan spec equipment, this has allowed the design to sport five tons more armour and better
heat management.

Dragoons and Oriente Hussars, with a Star also being sent to the Clan Protectorate.

================================================================================================
Overview:
Wallis Inc was awarded the contract to put an updated Banshee into production as part of the
Free Worlds League's reunification efforts, although it is not known yet if this is having
the desired effect on public opinion in the Regulan Fiefs that is hoped the units that have
received the BNC-4M so far are more than happy with the effort.
Capabilities:
When looking for another design to put into production in the assault weight class the FWLM
decided that the BNC-3Mr could be improved on and would fit well as a close assault design
in the leagues assault lances.
Deployment:
As a new variant of an existing design the BNC-4M has not spread very far, with the first
examples of the design being distributed to the Regulan Hussars and Free Worlds Guards.

I always liked the Albatros.
Why didn't you replace the LB 10-X?
-
I forgot to say that l did a lighter Clan version of it.

Hammer time at the Apollo. ;D

No evidence a clan tech version is being built in the FWL yet.
It makes sense.

I like this rational, what I'd suggest though you have one design completely or as close as you can rebuilt with Clan tech have that be you "Look at me desgn"
Have another make it standard construction but Clan weapons
Then the next tier down you have one type of weapon replaced
That way you cut down costs and show the progression from playing with it at the lowest to producing it at the highest
I don't dislike any of the designs I just think it would be a slow trip down the line
