Quicksilver Upgrades #30: Warhawk (Masakari) 85 tons
« on: November 11, 2018, 11:33:00 PM »
[Before I begin a couple of in-universe concerns I have. One in that making this design too good it might transform the Smoke Jaguar touman into one of the most effective in the Clans. Upgrades to the Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron Born) made it go from one of my least desirable OmniMechs to one of my favorites. Should the same happen here, yikes. Two, the Warhawk goes from a flawed design to one that may not require replacement at least in the near future. Look at Ice Ferret (Fenris) and Mist Lynx (Koshi) which have these flaws creating an ample opportunity for replacement fun. All that said I have decided to allow some flexibility in this one case. Details below]

The Warhawk was one of the original sixteen OmniMechs to appear in Technical Readout 3050 for the Clan invasion. Introduced in 2999 by the Smoke Jaguar Clan to assist in the much-anticipated Crusade this Assault OmniMech was initially unleashed with devastating effect on those who opposed the invasion. Wardens had great difficulty in overcoming this powerful war machine but its frequent use and impressive performance won it a place in every Clan by the time of the Outbound Light’s appearance above Huntress in 3048. The most ubiquitous Clan Assault OmniMech according to Random Assignment Tables (RATs) in Operation Revival Trials.

Clan Fire Mandrill (50%) had the largest concentration of Warhawks in their Assault Touman just ahead of its creators, Smoke Jaguar (44.5%). Interestingly enough Diamond Shark (41.5%) the mercantile Clan has the third most in its possession leading me to wonder if they had a key role to play in its proliferation throughout the Clans. Nova Cat (36%) the archenemy of the Jaguars makes sense as frequent combatant of this Mech’s creators as does Goliath Scorpion (36%), a Warden Clan. Ice Hellion (28%) is a little surprising but the Warhawk has good speed for its size. Cloud Cobra (25%) would have faced the Jaguars frequently enough to have a few as may the Hell’s Horses (22%). Steel Vipers (22%) seems to be too isolationist but if this Mech was impressive enough they may have trialed for it. Snow Raven (19.5%) is largely a Warden Clan while Crusaders like Blood Spirit (16.5%) and Burrock (16.5%) have less. Coyote (14%), Ghost Bear (14%), and Star Adder (14%) have among the least but there are two Clans with even fewer. Jade Falcon (5.5%) and Wolf (5.5%) are sort of surprising to me as the first could obtain it from their Crusader ally if they wished. And the Wolves well they were the Jags primary enemy so did they sell their isorla to others?

Appearing alongside the Dire Wolf (Diashi) in the Draconis Invasion Corridor the Warhawk rose to even higher prominence earning a new nickname. Dubbed the Masakari by Kurtia samurai for the medieval Japanese battleaxe of legend it became a feared sight renowned for its superior accuracy. Its popularity and speed locked down a place as the 85-ton Werewolf (Speedster) during the initial Quicksilver Trials. While the new Savage Coyote (Coyote, Wolf, Ghost Bear & Snow Raven) and the omnified Stone Lion (Goliath Scorpion, Blood Spirit, & Steel Viper) have their proponents every Clan still makes use of the Warhawk. Ten Clans (Smoke Jaguar, Fire Mandrill, Diamond Shark, Nova Cat, Hell’s Horses, Cloud Cobra, Burrock, Ice Hellion, Star Adder, & Jade Falcon) still prefer this OmniMech to all other 85-ton OmniMechs.

The design did however did have its critics among the Clans and some obvious flaws which they sought to correct. Upon review Scientists and Technicians discovered that 4 Double Heat Sinks mounted in the Left Torso along with the singular ones found in the Right Torso and each Leg were easily removed. Without these formerly fixed pieces of equipment seven tons of pod space opened up allowing a greater diversity of choices for this 85-ton OmniMech. Unfortunately, the integral Targeting Computer that made the Warhawk so special to begin with could not be removed without extensive electronic replacement far beyond the scope of the Quicksilver Upgrades. Therefore at least a 1-ton Targeting Computer was required for any new configuration but this didn’t account for existing models already available for loadouts. The existing four [canon] Configurations (Primary, A, B, & C) are basically the same size, 4 or 5 tons. In fact, there is an even split with two configurations each occupying those masses. So, designers have to beware of these materiel advantages (bonus consideration goes to 4 and 5 ton Targeting Computer configurations).

Please discuss what you like about the existing configurations (would you keep them as is Quicksilver fluff will give you half a point now) and introduce your alternatives. Please explain why yours is best, what role it plays with your modifications, etc. Remember I love fluff. Again, you are not allowed to alter the base design itself but the configurations are opened game. Clan Level 2 is the tech level for this contest just after Tukayyid so no ATMs, AP Gauss, Heavy Lasers, or Light Active Probes! Teamwork is also very welcomed so if you have an idea it is acceptable to collaborate. Since multiple configurations can win whoever gets the most wins, wins! A bonus point to the best new Quicksilver fluff!

With the Warhawk comprising more than a third of the Assault-weight OmniMechs in the Clan Goliath Scorpion Touman, Khan Suvorov made certain that her Scientists and Warriors were ready when the ilKhan called for new Omni-configuration proposals.

As the Trials of Project Quicksilver began, the Khan instructed the Clan's Master of Instruction (former Khan Nikolai Djerassi) to begin a feasability study on developing improved Warhawk Omni-configurations.  By the time that ilKhan Kerensky announced the competition, the Scorpions were ready.

Djerassi's new Prime resembled (somewhat) the original.  Both were based around ER PPCs and Long-range missle launchers.  But rather than the four Extended-Range PPCs of the original Warhawk, Djerassi and his team instead mounted three--one each in the right and left arms, with the third in the left torso.  These weapons were tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer located in the right torso.  Also housed in the right torso was the same LRM-10 launcher as the original Warhawk Prime.  This version, however, included Artemis IV Fire-Control Systems and a second ton of ammunition for a total of 24 missile salvos.  Finally, Djerassi and his team recommended the installation of an additional dozen double-strength heat sinks--five more than the original Warhawk Prime.  This impressive collection of heat dissipation equipment alleviated virtually all heat built-up by the OmniMech, allowing for it to remain heat-neutral on a walking Alpha Strike.  Critics focused on the lower potential damage profile, but Djerassi insisted that his Warhawk Prime was far better at sustained damage output, without the spikes in the heat curve that the original design was so infamous for.

Configuration A was virtually identical to the original variant, mounting an LB-10X autocannon (but placed in the left torso with two tons of ammunition for 20 bursts of fire), a brace of ER Large Lasers (left arm), a Streak SRM-6 launcher (moved to the center torso with a ton of ammunition (15 salvos) in the left torso), and an LRM-15 launcher in the right arm.  However, Djerassi and his team added Artemis IV FCS to the LRM-15 and mounted two additional tons of ammunition--for a total of three for twenty-four missile salvos.  Onboard heat sinks were reduced to just 17 . . . lower than the original Warhawk A, but sufficient for the new configuration to remain heat neutral on a walking Alpha Strike when the Streak launcher fails to lock. The lasers and LB-10X were tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer in the right torso as well.

Configuration B was one that had the former Scorpion Khan scratching his head.  A NARC launcher with just six beacons?  Two SRM-6 launchers with a total of 75 missile salvos?  Djerassi tore up the blueprints for this version and started anew with the central (in his mind) weapon:  the mighty Gauss Rifle.  Two of them actually.  These weapons were mounted one each in the right and left arms and fed by five tons of ammunition (for a total of 40 units of fire, or 20 shots apiece).  A six-ton Targeting Computer in the right torso enhances accuracy, while secondary weapon systems are provided by four ER Medium Lasers (two in the right torso and two in the left torso) as well as a center torso mounted ER Small Laser.  With just the base 13 DHS, the design is heat-neutral on a running Alpha Strike.

Configuration C was not one of Djerassi's favorites, by any means.  The use of Large Pulse Lasers in conjunction with a Targeting Computer made the configuration frighteningly accurate . . . but rendered pinpoint targeting of specific components on an opponent impossible.  Still, he recognized that the other Clans would want this Warhawk configuration . . . so he gave it to them in spades!  Rather than the mixed battery of ER PPCs and Large Pulse Lasers that was so prone to overheating, Djerassi instead opted for four Large Pulse Lasers tied into a five ton Targeting Computer.  The lasers were mounted in the right arm, left arm, right torso, and left torso, while the Targeting Computer was housed in the right torso.  For defensive options, a Small Pulse Laser was mounted in the center torso, along with an Anti-Missile System (one ton of ammo in the right torso for 24 bursts of fire).  Twenty-one double-strength heat sinks were mounted, allowing for a heat-neutral walking Alpha Strike at ranges of 181 to 600 meters, provided the AMS doesn't engage an incoming missile flight.  Excess overheat is produced when using the Small Pulse Laser at close range or while running, but considering the accuracy of this configuration, Djerassi believed that this minor flaw would be overlooked.

Configuration D matched a pair of ER Large Lasers (right arm) with a massive Ultra AC-20 (left arm) fed by four tons of ammunition (left arm and left torso).  These three guns were tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer (right torso) for maximum accuracy.  Supporting weapons consist of a right torso mounted Streak SRM-6 launcher with a ton of ammo (15 missile flights) and a center torso mounted Flamer.  Twenty DHS are provided which provides for this Warhawk D to remain heat neutral on a run when the UAC-20 is used in single shot mode.  Provided the the Flamer is not used and the Streak 6-pack fails to lock, the configuration remains heat-neutral on a double-tap as well.

Re: Quicksilver Upgrades #30: Warhawk (Masakari) 85 tons
« Reply #3 on: November 12, 2018, 03:00:16 AM »
Although the Falcons (and Wolves) field the least number (percentage wise) of Warhawks in their Toumans, saKhan Chistu was not about to let this OmniMech escape from his talons.  Acting on his own, he submitted his Warhawk F (for Falcon!) to the ilKhan.  Doing so brought him the ire of his Khan, however, who had no intention of submitting a proposal for this Jaguar OmniMech!  But the Falcon Warriors quickly rallied behind the saKhan, so Khan Critchell is (for the moment) letting the matter go.  In public, at least.  In private, the Watch reports that the Falcon Khan is livid with his saKhan for this "waste" of Falcon resources.

The design for the Warhawk F was quickly dubbed the "Super Summoner" by the Warriors of the ilKhan's Keshik due to its similarities to that famed Falcon OmniMech.  Chistu added four Jump Jets (right torso, left torso, right leg, and left leg) to the OmniMech, giving it superior mobility.  Armament consists of an ER PPC (left arm), a Gauss Rifle (right arm, with three tons of ammunition for 24 shots), an LRM-15 launcher with Artemis IV (left torso, with three tons of ammunition for 24 missile flights), and an ER Medium Laser (center torso).  To help commanders coordinate their forces on the field of battle, the design also incorporates a center torso mounted Active Probe.  The lasers and Gauss Rifle are tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer (right torso) for maximum accuracy across all ranges.  Finally, the design includes 14 double-strength heat sinks; this is sufficient to remain heat neutral on a running Alpha Strike.  Jumping will generate a small amount of excess overheat.

I'm glad I made this two weeks ago, but I will have to check if I made mine with 12 or 13 DHS when I get home from work.

I forgot to post the OmniMech Preferences after Quicksilver when I posted the original challenge last night. Corrected this morning and the addition is below.

Quote
While the new Savage Coyote (Coyote, Wolf, Ghost Bear & Snow Raven) and the omnified Stone Lion (Goliath Scorpion, Blood Spirit, & Steel Viper) have their proponents every Clan still makes use of the Warhawk. Ten Clans (Smoke Jaguar, Fire Mandrill, Diamond Shark, Nova Cat, Hell’s Horses, Cloud Cobra, Burrock, Ice Hellion, Star Adder, & Jade Falcon) still prefer this OmniMech to all other 85-ton OmniMechs.


I always listen to everyone's concerns marauder648, I just can't make everyone happy all the time.

Very nice masterarminas!

I look forward to seeing what you got Abele!

For those who need a little inspiration on this design here is the Mech of the Week Article from the CBT Forums, link below.

Warhawk

Although once the crown jewel in the Jaguars Tourman by the time of REVIVAL the fearsome Warhawk was quite widespread amongst the Clans of the Homeworlds but long standing grudges against the Wolves and with the Falcons being rivals in the Crusader Camp saw the Warhawk in very limited numbers inside the Falcon and Wolf Tourmans.  So, with it being so heavily concentrated in the Smoke Jaguars Tourman of the Invading Clans, it’s no surprise it was given a Japanese name by Spheroid forces who faced the Jaguars who used the Mech in large numbers for their brutal assaults.

Following the Battle of Tukkayid the Warhawk fell under the aegis of the Quicksilver program and the Mech was given over to the Scientists for examination along with thousands of hours of BattleROM’s along with live fire testing and interviews with Warriors of all rank.

Most pleasingly it was found that the seven additional heatsinks built into the Warhawk could be easily removed without affecting the Mech’s stability, this freed up a considerable amount of space and tonnage for the various teams to work on the Mech.

Variants

Prime – Although a quartet of ER PPCs gave the standard Warhawk Prime a horrific punch, this came at the cost in a staggeringly high heat load that could threaten the onboard ammunition for the LRM-10 as well as affecting the Mech’s speed and stability.  The Smoke Jaguars who had survived the bloodbath at Tukkayid had significant success when they had retrofitted their Mech’s into the C configuration.  This replaced two ER PPC’s with a pair of large pulse lasers.  It also eliminated the LRM-10 and its ammunition and allowed for the installation of three more heatsinks.  The flamer fitted for anti-personnel work was almost an afterthought.  And although the Mech still ran hot, it could use its weapons more readily without crippling itself or risking an ammunition explosion. 

The only major 'change' was to mix the weapons, so each arm fitted a PPC and pulse laser rather than each arm being a home for a single type of weapon.

(And yes, this is just the Canon C variant)

A - Again influenced by the fighting on Tukkayid, this time from the Falcons (who 'boast' having nearly as few Warhawks as the Wolves), the A was influenced by the fighting around Olalla City and the valiant actions of the Falcon Guards.  Built for mobility and mid range firepower the A features paired medium caliber autocannons, one LB-10 and one Ultra-10 both with 2-tons of ammuniton.  An ER large laser for long range jousting and a SRM-6 for terminal defence make this variant seem undergunned, but this is offset by the agility given by a quartet of jump jets allowing for leaps of up to 120 meters.  The two autocannons can punch holes in targets and then fill them with cluster bursts from the LB or SRM's at short range and the B's surprising agility allows it to control a fight in built up terrain.

B - Based in part on the standard A, the Quicksilver B retained the combination of paired ER Large lasers but replaced the LB-10 cannon with a harder hitting Gauss rifle, fed by 3 tons of ammunition.  Shorter range firepower was provided by a Streak SRM-6 launcher but the electronics suite was augmented with the addition of a powerful ECM whilst self defence was augmented with the installation of an AMS in the upper left torso.  But, like the A, the jump jets were retained, allowing for a full 120 meter jumping capacity.  Lethally accurate even when on the move the B is a dangerous sniper that takes full advantage of the range advantage offered by Clan weapons.  The enhanced defensive suite also make it a suitable Command Mech for an assault Star.

C - Clearly coming from Smoke Jaguar experience and favouring their close in fighting style the C features a massive ultra pattern autocannon fed by a 3-ton ammo hopper.  Additional firepower is provided by a quartet of Medium pulse lasers whilst an ER large laser provides token long range firepower.  A SRM-6 is buried in the chest and gives the Mech its final punch making it dangerous at all ranges but with all the energy weapons linked to a targetting computer the C is utterly lethal at short ranges.

D - Designed as a support unit and coming from Clan Nova Cat the D makes use of the Cat's ER large lasers to provide direct long range firepower whilst a pair of Artemis IV enhanced LRM-15's each with 2 tons of ammunition provide considerable barrage firepower.  The main drawback of this design is heat, and even with 24 double heatsinks installed the D can overheat but only if they move and fire the point defence ER small laser as well.
Because of the weapons mix, some Scientists quietly joked that it was designed by the Spirits, but the D was wholly designed by the Nova Cats.

E - The 'Endurance' model that was put forwards by Scientists from Clan Wolf was very much a generalist and had a heavy focus on medium range firepower but working to make the weapons as effective as possible.  For long range firepower a pair of ER PPC's give the Mech more than enough punch and inspired by the classic Timberwolf A pairs these with a quartet of medium pulse lasers.  Two Streak-6 launchers provide considerable firepower whilst maximising every shot.  The downside of this battery was a ferocious heat surge but a skilled Warrior can use their weapons wisely without running the risk of overheating and the E's weapon mix rewards bracket firing.

F - Designed by Scientists from Clan Ghost Bear and with the influence of Warrior Viktor, the F is built to take targets apart at long range and its paired ER PPCs and single gauss rifle (with a 3-ton ammunition bin) give the F variant a tremendous punch at long range.  For point defence SRM-4s and ER small laser provide additional firepower and the Mech only suffers from heat related issues if it fires all its weapons and runs.

G - Designed as a support unit the G is armed for long range battles with a quartet of Artemis enhanced LRM-15's, with all four launchers fed by a grand total of 12 tons of ammunition.  For self defence the G boasts a large pulse laser buried in the chest as well as an ER small laser but using these energy weapons can cause a notable heat spike.  Still the barrage capabilities of the G are formidable allowing it to barrage a target and cripple it in short order.

H - Designed by Clan Fire Mandril the H is built to rip targets apart at mid range and with as little expenditure of resources as possible.  A trio of large pulse lasers in a triangular mount on the left arm give it unlimited and brutally accurate firepower whilst an Ultra-10 pattern autocannon fed by a 2-ton ammunition bin can add to the barrage.  An ER small laser sits almost unnoticed in the chest and sixteen heatsinks allow the Mech full mobility whilst firing its pulse lasers.

Deployment

Thanks to the tonnage freed up by the removal of the previously 'fixed' heatsinks the Warhawk's new configurations gave the Mech a new lease of life and made it even more of a threat.  Although no longer the big bargaining chip they had hoped for, the sorely depleted Jaguars did agree to loosen their restrictions on who could build the Mech and allow more into the Wolf and Falcon Tourmans in the name of defeating the 'Spheroid barbarians'.

How's it going folks? Just checking in with our designers as time rolls on by.

I might try to accumulate a list of Clan Mechwarriors who utilize the Warhawk if I have time.

The Warhawk has long been one of the Assault 'Mechs of choice for the Crusader leaning Clans so it came as no surprise that it was a Crusader Clan that has augmented the feared design of the Jaguars. What came as a surprise though was the Clan that caused the rebirth of the new Warhawk II.

Jade Falcon whom prior to the Revival Trials produced no Assault OmniMechs of their own have burst onto the scene in the last few years with their new Night Gyr and Turkina Heavy & Assault 'Mechs and with the large holes left in their Touman following Tukayyid have been rushing them out to their clusters as fast as they are coming off their production lines. With still not enough production to meet their demands, especially as other Clans have begun trialing for production runs at a steadily increasing pace. They have reached out to the Jaguars and through Trials and negotiations have forced the Jaguars to divert half of their production lines to a version that fits the Jade Falcon's needs and wants.

The Warhawk II has gained popularity quickly as both the Ice Hellions & Star Adders upon hearing of the upgraded design have reached out to the Jaguars about this new more versatile and mobile version with a hope to secure future production runs themselves. While the Jaguars were originally disgruntled with their loss vs their rivaled Jade Falcon the popularity of the new design has opened new markets for what little Smoke Jaguar merchants there are.

While not fixed the Falcons have asked for all the configurations to be produced with jump jets allocated. Seeing as their Turkina and Night Gyrs have them as a fixed component on their own designs showcases the Falcons feel for tactical flexibility to be a key feature in their strategy and tactics going forwards. While stripping out many of the fixed Double Heat Sinks nearly all of the Falcon configurations requires at least the ten tons of Heat Sinks it used to hold. The flexibility though of moving them around based upon weapons load has allowed for more flexibility such as the Jump Jets seen on all configurations.

Overview:
While the Smoke Jaguars remained extremely happy with their Warhawk assault omnimechs, Clan Nova Cat's experiences on Luthien and Tukkayid convinced them that the fixed equipment limited the design's flexibility. While they weren't ready to entirely dispense with the targeting systems, the heatsinks could be better tailored to the situations a mechwarrior could face.

The reaction of Clan Smoke Jaguar was predictable - having fought viciously for half a century to maintain sole manufacturing rights they were livid at the prospect of their rival modifying the chassis and claiming it was an improvement. IlKhan Kerensky listened to their protests before the Grand Council and challenged the Nova Cat Khan Sevren Leroux: "You say these modifications make the Warhawk more deadly?"

"I do."

"Prove it."

As he was not a mechwarrior himself, the Nova Cat bargained that both Clan Nova Cat and Clan Smoke Jaguar would commit a star of newly tested warriors in Warhawks to the trial. While two Nova Cats perished in the trial, the results
of 3-2 were held to uphold their right to modify their Warhawks as they saw fit.

The ilKhan confirmed that this right was limited to the Nova Cats and any other Clan would have to win the right to modify the Smoke Jaguars individually - ensuring a slew of such challenges were delivered within the next month as
Clans sought to take advantage of the apparently weakened Jaguars.


Capabilities:
The Nova Cat's new Warhawk Prime switches entirely away from the original quad PPCs to a mix of pulse lasers that takes maximum advantage of the targeting computer. Additional heatinks make the burden entirely manageable except at point blank ranges where a small laser can be managed. While the Jaguars scorned this configuration as suitable only for incompetents, pinpoint strikes by massed pulse lasers ripped two of their warriors' Warhawks apart in the trial.

Operating as a long range bombardment specialist the Warhawk Alpha can bring a potentially devastating 75 artemis-guided LRMs to bear on a target and carries immense ammunition stocks for extended conflicts. For close range engagements, ten small lasers are tied into a minimalist targeting computer providing limited back-up.

For point-blank battles in urban environments or fixed fortifications, the Nova Cats field the Warhawk Beta with a pair of assault-grade autocannon. While they can carry little ammunition and have limited back up this provides a salvo that can shatter 'Mechs almost immediately and the use of jumpjets makes the Beta lethally agile.

On the face of it, the Warhawk Gamma seems very similar to classic Warhawk configurations with a pair of PPCs and a gauss rifle, but one of the extended range PPCs is now centre mounted and with heatsinks carefully calculated there was enough room for a back-up LRM launcher that can be used to judiciously support the direct fire weapons.

Somewhat prone to overheating, the Warhawk Delta is an excellent sniper with its four large lasers mounted in the arm. Once it has opened up an enemy 'Mech it can then close in and the massive battery of SRMs in the left chest delivers a punishing final blow of 30 missiles per salvo.

The Warhawk Epsilon pairs a single ER PPC with an LB 10-X for a dangerous one-two combination. This would seem underwhelming for such a large 'Mech but the addition of five medium lasers in the right arm more than doubles the firepower of the configuration and an additional small laser and pulse laser can be added if needed.
