Clan Wolf found itself in a serious detriment following it's conquest of its new empire.fielding entire galaxies of purely Inner Sphere Equipment, Khan Alaric knew he needed to get some serious, albeit cheap firepower to his new found military units.  His Sphere Born Galaxy commanders presented an interesting alternative in the form of the Longbow. sharing the role of the quintesential Missile support platform with the Archer, the Longbow could be upgraded easily and readily to provide better missile support to thier second line clusters.

starting with the still readily manufactured 7Q Variant, the LRM 20s were stripped out in favor of clan versions tied to an actuator enhancement system.  this combination provides tremendous accuracy for warriors.  while a clan warrior might find this insulting, even elite inner sphere mechwarriros appreciate all the help that they can get.  the twin medium lasers were upgraded to clan model medium pulse lasers. defensively the longbow IIC is wrapped in 14 tons of reactive armor seconded from Warwolf production lines, protecting the mech from counter battery fire and artillery.  twin Laser Anti Missile systems also buffer against counter fire and protect from most Battle Armor weapons.

The Longbow IIC has been well received among the Missile Heavy clusters of former Free Worlds Leauge, less so among former Lyran Clusters.  Wolf Born Clusters have rejected the Longbow IIC outright.
