Busy day today folks but this is a Commando I had already worked on and completed because of this contest, enjoy! Might try to fit Double Heat Sinks on this one later.

Okay I examined my Kommando and discovered that enough room had been created for Double Heat Sinks on both the base 3R and 3N but I have decided against adding them cause the Narc variant doesn't need any heat help and the 3R never goes over by a whole lot. Going to 20 by way of Doubling in my opinion is there for unnecessary.

What I did find is another variant I think I will add that does utilize Double Heat Sinks and an entirely all energy arsenal. The KOM-3E removes both SRM-6s and their ammuntion to add four Medium Lasers and two Medium Pulse Lasers! This ups the potential damage to 37 during an Alpha Strike and removes any ammunition concerns but the weapon heat jumps to 23. Movement would add another 1 or 2 to the heat scale but the damage increase is impressive. The 5 Medium Lasers would have the same range (9) as the base model but the Medium Pulses need to get even closer (6). This would be an ideal Elemental hunter and the most expensive model coming in at over 3.5 million C-bills.

Hmm, still very quiet. I wonder if we will hear from Ice Hellion or masterarminas?? We do have some excellent entries already so maybe they are a little scared.

The twenty (20) in thus far breakdown this way by designer - 4 from Irose, 4 from Bradshaw, 5 from drakensis, 1 from David CGB (Davion now fluffed), 1 from Takiro (my Rasalhagian expatriate Kommando), and 5 from Abele.

Takiro · « **Reply #21 on:** September 07, 2019, 10:22:29 AM »

Still nothing? Awful quiet here. On the trip here I was thinking of a fourth variant for my Kommando which would replace the 2 SRM-6s with 3 LRM-5s. Think I will detail it when I get home.

Not at all.
The few ideas I had for the previous designs were already taken.

Until now, I didn't have the time for the Commando.

And of course there is a Taurian model

The COM-4T was developed in response to a TDF request for a light urban assault unit. As part of Thomas Calderon's efforts to defend the Concordat against the supposed Davion threat, he ordered the construction of fortifications to protect Taurian cities. It was expected that the TDF would fight in many of the urban areas found on Taurian worlds. While the TDF had a few Urbanmechs, the Protector sought a new design to replace the Urbanmech. VMI responded with an updated model of the Commando.

With speed less of a concern, the designers opted to use a Vox 100 engine. The Vox 100 was simply a downrated version of the Vox 120 used by the Stinger which is produced alongside the Commando at VMI's Illiushin plant. While speed was not highly valued in an urban setting, mobility was a consideration. For that reason the design team mounted 4 Rawlings 52 Jump Jets, allowing the Commando to quickly move around in built up areas.

The weapons array was greatly revised. The SRM 6 and SRM 4 launchers have been replaced with 3 of the experimental Pinard Reaper Streak SRM Racks- while having few missiles, the Streaks provided better ammo efficiency. The availability of production quality racks has prevented the COM-4T from entering full scale production. It is expected that this bottleneck will be solved in the next year or so. Two additional medium lasers are added to provide more firepower.

Armor protection was increased by mounting 5 tons of Ferro Fiborous armor, providing the mech with max protection for it's chassis.

In the wake of the Clan Invasion, resources were made available throughout the Lyran Commonwealth for 'Mech producers to upgrade their existing designs. Coventry Metal Works took full advantage of this subsidy to develop the COM-6S variant of their Commando.

The design spares no expense, incorporating an endo-steel frame, ferro-fibrous armor plating (5 tons), double-strength heat sinks, and an extra-light fusion engine. Strangely enough, the design fails to incorporate CASE! The largest change between the COM-2D and the COM-6S, however, was the selection of a Nissan 200 XL fusion engine. This boosted ground speed to 86.4 kilometers per hour (walking; 129.6 kph running) from the older standard models 64.8 kph (walking) and 97.2 kph (running). In fact, the COM-6S Commando could now match the older Locust in ground speed.

Five tons of Lexington Limited Ferro-Fibrous armor plating gave the new Commando variant superb armor for a 25-ton BattleMech. Indeed, the design carries the absolute maximum amount of armor protection available on a 25-ton bipedal chassis.

Armament is virtually identical to that of the COM-2D: a Shannon Six Shooter SRM-6 in the center torso (fed by a ton of ammunition in the right torso for 15 missile salvos), a Coventry 4-tube SRM-4 in the right arm (fed by a ton of ammunition in the right arm for 25 missile salvos), and a Defiance B3M Medium Laser in the left arm. The only difference in the armament between the -2D and -6S is that this newest model by CMW incorporates a second Defiance B3M Medium Laser mounted in the head.

Some critics of the design consider the use of double-strength heat sinks to be a waste . . . citing that even on a running Alpha Strike, there is enough excess cooling to fully compensate for Stage One Reactor Damage to the fusion engine. Proponents of the design, however, not that had standard heat sinks been used instead, the COM-6S would have quickly built up excess overheat at a pace fast enough to risk myomer seizures, targeting discrepancies, and possible detonation of ammunition reserves within the onboard magazines.

While the design engineers at Coventry Metal Works would have liked to incorporate CASE in the design (even if that meant reducing the armor by a half-ton!), they simply ran out of available internal space due to the bulky nature of the remaining weapon systems.

Ice Hellion · « **Reply #28 on:** September 08, 2019, 02:31:16 PM »

Since you asked for it, here is the Commando COM-99S.

Overview
In spite of the success of the COM-5S and even before facing the might of the Clan Juggernaut, Coventry Metal Works knew that their Commando, one of the two standard Light â€˜Mechs for the Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth was beginning to show its age. In spite of their production capacity, it wouldnâ€™t be long before it would be replaced and even worse perhaps by a product of Defiance Industries.
This is why a new approach had to be taken, to ensure that Coventry Metal Works products would still be best-sellers in the future as they were now.

The design team (codenamed â€œJohn Matrixâ€ for a soldier of the past) worked had plenty of ideas but none was approved by the Board of Directors to get any further than the design board and some were even beginning to think that this project was just a waste of time and money.
Perhaps a few months more and the project would have been cancelled but this is when the Clans hit the Inner Sphere, which had 2 consequences: a lot of data ROMs with new ideas to play with for all the BattleMech producers as well as a new pressure to bring up new designs or improved ones.

Analysing the prowesses of the Clans, the DT-JM saw that one of their main advantages was their Omni technology, allowing them to adapt their â€˜Mechs to whatever missions they had to do, taking into account the OpFor, the logistics issuesâ€¦
Fully aware that they were years away of being able to field such advanced technology (even more without access to real working OmniMechs), they decided to work on integrating the modular replacement system of the SLDF Mercury, which had been identified as the great-father of the Omnis, in their â€œnewâ€ Commando and to produce a lot of variants that with the proper set of tools and time could be â€œeasilyâ€ changed, making the COM-99S (99 being a reference to the Mercury) a kind of semi OmniMech.

Capabilities
Since DT-JM was eager to show to Coventry Metal Works and the later to the AFFC the interest of their project, they went for the chassis of the COM-3D, which was almost left untouched with only the change of the armour for a Ferro-Fibrous one, increasing the protection, as well as the introduction of a space for the CASE system should it be needed.
A closer analysis of the COM-5S to see what would be useful showed that the use of Endo-Steel would only bring a small increase in potential firepower/protection while taking up potentially much needed space, something that could prevent the aimed flexibility to be totally used. However, no second thoughts were given when it came to the Communications and Targeting/Tracking systems, which were upgraded to the standards of the COM-5S.
Some bad mouths would later say that no one was sure of how would the new system really work and that this was the real reason behind the lack of innovation on the chassis).

With 8 tons available for weapons and equipment, all that was left to the design team was to imagine as many variants useful as possible; luckily, centuries of combat with the Commando had given the Lyran Commonwealth enough experience.

COM-99Sd is the standard Commando, except that in order to increase its endurance, both missiles launchers are SRM-4, each with one ton of ammo protected by CASE.

COM-99Sb is a turn-back to the original Commando but with an eye towards dealing with the problems encountered on a 31st century battlefield. To the Large Laser in the Centre Torso is added a Small Pulse Laser and a Flamer in the Right Arm to deal with vehicles, infantry and Battle Armour while the Left Arm retains the classical Medium Laser as a secondary weapon.

Thanks to its pure energy weapons (4 Medium Lasers) and with 4 extra Heat Sinks to deal with the generated heat, COM-99Se is at the same time a deep raider and with its rather heavy firepower, perhaps the solution hoped by the AFFC to the problems created by the Elementals.

COM-99Ssc is designed to be a pure team player as it is almost lacking any offensive weapon, except a Medium Laser. A Narc Launcher and a Guardian ECM are its main weapons with the main goal of facilitating the job of its lancemates and disturbing the efficiency of the Clan electronics.

COM-99Sfs is a fire support â€˜Mech and a small Valkyrie (some thought that Coventry Metal Works should have tried to avoid turning Corean Entreprises into a direct competitor). Its twin LRM-5 and two tons of ammo give it enough range and endurance to either support its lancemates or harass its own target. In spite of its slightly higher ground speed, this variant lacks in mobility compared to the classical Davion Light support â€˜Mech that is the Valkyrie.

COM-99Str is the trooper of the COM-99S class. Thanks to its mix of weapons (a LRM-5, a SRM-4 and a Medium Laser), it can perform almost any kind of missions. Obviously, specialised â€˜Mechs will outperform it but they would be less flexible and unable to adapt themselves to the changing battlefield.

Thanks to its PPC, COM-99Sds is a hunter of Light â€˜Mechs, packing the right mix of speed and range to quickly destroy its target and retreat before facing ant revenge.

Deployment
In spite of the initial favourable feedbacks from the front lines and the lobbying by Coventry Metal Works, the COM99-S never found its place in the Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth. This was perhaps because it wasnâ€™t advanced enough but the Quartermaster didnâ€™t buy enough of them, preferring to keep with the COM-5S.
However, the KungsarmÃ© and several mercenary units working for the Federated Commonwealth appreciated the endurance and flexibility of this â€œinnovativeâ€ rebuild of the Commando (perhaps its rather low price too) and ordered several production runs of it.

Battle History
The COM-99S assigned to the 4th Lyran Regulars have blended particularly well with the tactics used by this unit and have contributed to the success of some of their raids in the Clan Occupation Zones, even if due to the tactics of the 4th Lyran Regulars, Commandos (and other light designs) suffered more casualties than the rest of the unit.
Even if they are satisfied with the overall comportment of their new Commandos, the â€˜MechWarriors of the 4th have requested an increase in speed and mobility as well as an upgrade of the Heat Sinks to allow the Commando to use more weapons.

Variants
Coventry Metal Works is said to be working on an OmniMech and if the rumours are to be trusted, the Commando COM-99S could be the basis for this new design.

Notable â€˜MechWariors
â€˜MechWarrior Rebecca Miladue just graduated but seems to display the same flair for the aquatic oriented scouting as her mother before her. Only time will tell if it will give her an advantage on the battlefield.
