Are the Falcons still going to produce the Night Gyr? Its a bird of a different feather for them, as its basically a pocket assault Mech rather than a typical Clan heavy thanks to its general focus on raw balls to the wall firepower and being able to actually use it without doing a darn good impression of a star's core in terms of heat.

Yes, it debuted before the Quicksilver Program where as the Nov....Hellcat was only a glimmer in the eye of Severn Leroux.

Problem is that a fair few of its configs were with new tech mainly ATMs and Heavy lasers but we can give 'em a fiddle.

Initial thoughts though -  Prime, A and B, keep those for sure!

Yup, no ATMs or Heavy Lasers this time around just plenty of pod space to fool with. A few canon configs will survive to challenge you designers for sure but can you beat them?

Here is the Mech of the Week Article from the main boards to spur you onward as I depart for paradise. Good luck everyone!

Despite their anger at not being able to call their new OmniMech the name they wanted, Clan Nova Cat was still happy to tug the Jaguar’s tail by calling the new Omni the Hellcat.  With the Mech due to enter production it had been halted owing to the Quicksilver Trials, but development and testing went ahead regardless as the Cat Scientists ‘polished the cannonball’ to give their design the best possible shot at being accepted.

The Mech’s merits and the fact it as just months away from entering production helped it win a place in the Quicksilver Trials.  Diplomacy also played a part as angering the battered but still powerful Nova Cats would only break the unity that the ilKhan was trying to enforce on the Clans.  He knew he needed the Nova Cats in this endeavour and worked hard to smooth many a ruffled feather and bruised ego.

At 70 tons the Mech was a familiar weight for the Clans but in performance it was not.  Slower than the typical Clan heavy Mech speed the Hellcat, like its ancient World War II namesake traded speed for survivability and payload with a huge 38 tons of space available on its imposing frame.

Variants

Canon Prime – Although only a few testbeds existed all were being used to try and get the best possible weapons choices for their pilots.  The initial Prime was an energy weapons heavy design, mating a trio of ER large lasers and a pair of ER PPCs to give the Mech a heavy punch at the longest of ranges.  This energy loadout would also help banish the ghosts of Tukkayid and Luthien where the Nova Cats, like the other Clans ran into huge logistics problems with supplying their forces with ammunition in the field. 

Canon A - The prototype A Config was also viewed very favourably in simulations and battle testing.  Although not the hardest hitting of Mechs, the combination of a quartet of ER Large lasers with a targetting computer and enough heatsinks to fire the lot and move at full speed made it a fearsome sniper.  The ability to jump up to 120 meters was also greatly appreciated as it allowed the Mech to relocate to a better firing position or use terrain to control the range and battle.  The lessening of the logistics load was also a big positive mark for the Mech and its brutal elegance won it great favour with the pilots who tested the Config.

Canon B - In a complete reversal from the zero logistic impact Prime and A, the B more than made up for it with its massed banks of LRM's.  Because the Clans almost purely shunned artillery they had limited means of replying to such weapons or bringing a huge barrage capacity to an engagement.  The B was in essence an answer to artillery, able to fire a staggering 90 missiles thanks to its six LRM-15s.  Fed by 10 tons of ammunition the Mech could go through nearly a ton of this in a single full salvo so whilst it could bring devastating fire to bare it would only be for a limited time.  Initially the Scientists wanted it to carry 12-tons of ammo to increase endurance but Warriors rejected this as they wanted some weapons to fall back on even if only for point defence and so two ER Medium lasers were installed.  Still the B can provide enough firepower to devastate any target and the sheer amount of missiles can be used to cripple or destroy Spheroid forces if they try to close the range.

C - The prototype C was viewed rather poorly as the weapons mix, focusing on medium range firepower was felt to be too much of a mish-mash and the mix of autocannons imposed an unnecessary burden on the supply chain.  Instead the C was redesigned to engage infantry and armour targets whilst also having firepower to keep any Mech honest.  Retaining the paired large pulse lasers of the prototype the trio of autocannons are replaced by a single LB-10 pattern autocannon with a 2-ton ammunition hopper allowing it to fire cluster and slug rounds.  A pair of ER Medium and Small lasers provide additional firepower whilst for anti-infantry work a quartet of machine guns, sharing a ton of ammuniton between them can shred most infantry formations.  Finally a Streak SRM-6 sits in the chest behind a sliding housing so the launch ports don't mar the Mech's profile.  An active probe lets the Mech hunt for targets but even with 15 double heatsinks the C can easily overheat, but wisely using the Mech's weapons can keep the Mech running cool.

D - The Delta Config is built for close quarters engagements or against opponents attacking from surprise positions.  This mostly stemmed from the Cats experience on Luthien and Tukkayid where Spheroid Mechs would often launch ambushes at close range to negate the Clans range advantage, or brutal short range fire fights like the Jaguars endured in the Battle of Dinju Pass.  An Ultra-20 autocannon provides the main punch and is fed by an impressive 4-ton ammunition bin.  An ER Large laser is the Mech's sole long range weapon whilst a pair of Medium pulse lasers fill out the balance of the Mech's firepower.  What makes the D so dangerous is that all these weapons are linked into a targetting computer and the big cannon can smash opposing Mechs in a welter of shots.  Finally an Active probe lets the D sniff out any potential ambushes.

E - Taking lessons from history the E is armed identically to the classic Rifleman RFL-3N with paired ER large lasers and LB-5 autocannons in the arms and ER medium lasers in the side torso.  But, unlike the Spheroid Mech the Hellcat E is far better armoured, has greater endurance thanks to the 4-tons of onboard ammunition and is more mobile thanks to the jump jets that allow it to vault up to 120 meters.  Capable of laying down a withering barrage at long range as well as acting as a mobile flak gun the E, whilst not hard hitting can bring a sustained and flexible mix of weapons to the battlefield.

F - Able to engage at long and short range the F's primary punch comes from a pair of ER PPCs and a single Artemis IV enhanced LRM-20 which draws from a generous 3-ton ammunition hopper.  At short range the F has a blistering battery of weapons including a pair of Streak SRM-4s which share a ton of ammunition between them as well as a battery of six ER small lasers which can cut through hostile Battle Armour or Mechs in surprisingly short order.  Even with 20 heatsinks installed a full alpha strike will cause a significant and potentially dangerous heat spike.  Lethal at long and short ranges the F looks like it will do well with those who favour duels as the Mech can quickly overwhelm an opponent.

Deployment - The Hellcat is most commonly seen in Nova Cat front line trinaries as the Cats try to rebuild after suffering heavy losses. Here it is most often used as a 'pocket assault Mech' where its heavy firepower means it outguns most Spheroid assault Mechs and even the latest Mechs like the Thunderhawk of Pillager struggle to match  the firepower offered by Clan weapons.  So far the Cats are trading the design with the Clans who they have dealt fairly with in the past.  The ilKhan has been pressing for faster distribution but this has been hampered by 'shipping delays' to quote on of the Shark's involved in actually shipping the design. 

First seen in a raid on Kanowit where several Hellcats were deployed for testing and familiarization with front line Warriors in the Nova Cat's small occupation zone, they were also being used to shore up badly depleted units that had suffered heavy casualties on Tukkayid as the forces rebuilt and Kanowit was seen as a suitably 'quiet' world for this process to be carried out.
The result was a sharp reversal for the Combine raiders who were not expecting so high a level of resistance and the appearance of several unidentified Mech's who immediately opened fire from long range with barrages of laser and particle cannons.  During the engagement one Combine Mechwarrior trying to coordinate fire on the new Mech identified it as a 'Donryu' or 'Storm Dragon' and the name stuck.

Nice opening entry marauder648!!

Think you misunderstood i wanted to move the Endo Steel out of the legs as this beast overheats in almost every config. So the times it can sit in water with legs having HS it would assist with its heat dispersal.

I certainly did misunderstand you. However with the way this Mech is set up i would think ballstic and missile weapons would be preferred rather than energy weapons. The 11 integral heat sinks aren't really ideal for the energy boat configurations that this Mech features. I find marauder648 comments about this design being a pocket assault being most apt so far.

What do u guys think?

I don't see any impediment to putting things in the torso, a Crossbow this is not, which is, as far as I know the only omni who canonically says "No stuff in the torso!"  Put stuff where ever you want, in the arms its probably more asthetically pleasing, and stuff like LRM's or AC's in the torso would probably be shoulder mounted  or built into the upper torso  section rather than just sticking out of the chest as the torso's quite slim.  I'd say a gauss rifle if mounted in the torso would have a mounting akin to the classic Shadow Hawk's stow and go AC. 

Both the Nova Cat and the Night Gyr are pocket assaults, for a Clan heavy they are slow, but this then gives them a LOT of tonnage for weapons and they generally use it pretty well to take advantage of the firepower advantages of Clan Tech, and make heavies that will happily outgun Mechs 20 tons heavier.

And this kinda makes sense, the Homeworlds are always described as being resource poor, so building a smaller Mech than an assault but packing the firepower of an assault onto it would make sense that way, at least in my mind, you're spending less resources on a Mech but still getting the performance you want in terms of firepower. 

I'd also say that the 11 heatsinks are not a problem either.  Mainly because it steps away from the 3050 designs issue of either not having enough cooling, of having ALL the coolling

"Scientist, how much heat does this Mech generate?"
"Oh, on the standard scale, 21  points of heat, at a full run, if you alpha everything."
"I see..so why has it got not only fifteen double heatsinks installed, but another three fitted for good measure?"

See Gargoyle Prime and Gladiator Prime as..well..prime examples of this.  Land a trinary of Gargoyle Prime's on venus and I swear you'd see a notable drop in the temperature.

The Clan Invasion put a great deal of pressure on their heavy OmniMechs. Long the weight class favoured by elite mechwarriors, the Clans fielded a higher proportion than most of the Inner Sphere and they'd carried the brunt of the fighting. Clan Nova Cat had seen the fast heavies like the Timber Wolf, Summoner and Cauldron-born outmaneuver the majority of Inner Sphere heavies or outgun the handful of heavy 'Mechs fast enough to keep up. However, the Nova Cats lacked a trademark heavy of their own and the incredibly brutal fighting on Tukayyid had depleted their forces.

In order to rebuild the Nova Cats felt they needed to get their own heavy 'Mech into production and they felt the need for a design that could survive the incredible carnage of similar confrontations, so they ordered their scientists to focus on armour and firepower over speed. The Hellcat was the result, carrying close to the maximum possible protection but devoting half its tonnage to weapons.

The DCMS, on encountering the Hellcat in action, have dubbed it the Snapping Turtle or "Supon" in Japanese.


Capabilities:
The primary configuration of the Hellcat is based on the Nova Cat expectations of the combat a relatively slow heavy OmniMech can expect to encounter. Since faster enemies can't be closed with, the primary armaments are four extended range lasers, paired with ECM to limit the effect of advanced targeting systems. Because infantry can close in, a pair of anti-infantry lasers and an active probe are fitted. As dense terrain is hard for a slow 'Mech to make progress through, jump-jets are mounted.

The Hellcat A takes a more compromising view and is loaded for bracket firing. At mid-range it has a battery of seven medium extended range lasers while for long range there are two large lasers and a pair of LRM launchers. Accuracy is a priority for the configuration with artemis fire control and a targeting computer.

Built around a pair of Gauss Rifles, the Hellcat B is another long range design that combines them with an extended range PPC for concentrated damage. If swarmed at close range the quad-laser array in the chest poses a serious threat to Elementals and light 'Mechs.

The C-configuration switches to deal with close range engagements, loading the Hellcat with a heavy autocannon and a large SRM rack. Because this leaves them easily outranged, a pair of large lasers are mounted.

For anti-aircraft work the Nova Cats load their new heavy design with accurate weapons. The Hellcat D is fitted with paired pulse lasers and LB-X autocannon that mix damage and accuracy. In addition to aircraft, the mix is also effective against vehicles.

The Hellcat E is equipped to deliver massive LRM bombardment, loaded with four accurate missile launchers and eight tons of ammunition. Should the missiles run out then the Hellcat has four lasers to fall back upon.

The logic behind the Hellcat F's configuration escaped analysts at first until it was discovered that it mirrors the payload of the Atlas II assault 'Mech. Clan Wolf is apparently not pleased by this referential design, given the Founder's choice to join them rather than any other Clan. Since they were defeated in the Trial of Greivance they've little recourse though.
