Quicksilver Upgrades #34: Dire Wolf (Daishi) 100 tons
« on: February 03, 2019, 11:09:32 PM »
Our final existing OmniMech for the Quicksilver Upgrades is one of the most fearsome war machines ever before conceived. The Dire Wolf was initially created by Wolf Scientists in the early 3000s as the ultimate assault ‘Mech. Still on the drawing board Clan Smoke Jaguar learned of this potentially impressive OmniMech and successfully trialed for it. Starting production on Huntress in 3010 the Jaguars were joined as manufacturers of the Dire Wolf nine years later by the Wolf Clan. Production on Strana Mechty began after a successful trial by young Star Colonel Ulric Kerensky and has since remained exclusively confined to those two Clans. All examples of these hulking behemoths were taken as isorla (battlefield salvage), given as gifts, or acquired through merchant caste dealings.

Random Assignment Tables (RATs) indicate that by the time of the Operation Revival Trials that the Dire Wolf made up about 12% of all Clan Assault OmniMech forces. Its creators Wolf (30.5 %) had surpassed Smoke Jaguar (28%) as its greatest single user with Coyote (25%) and Snow Raven (22%) following closely behind. After those four Clans there is a significant drop off to about 14% of Assault forces for both Goliath Scorpion (14%) and Hell’s Horses (14%). Three eventual Invading Clans followed next with Diamond Shark (11%), Ghost Bear (11%), and Steel Viper (11%) all just having over ten percent of their assault forces composed of Dire Wolves. While not in great numbers Cloud Cobra (8%), Jade Falcon (8%), Nova Cat (8%), and Star Adder (8%) all possessed a significant amount of Dire Wolf. Burrock (5.5%) and Blood Spirit (3%) had fewer while both Fire Mandrill (0%) and Ice Hellion (0%) failed to field any appreciable amount.

Of course, some of the most notable Clan Mechwarriors of the day pilot the Dire Wolf including Khan Natasha Kerensky of the Wolves and Khan Ian Hawker of the Diamond Sharks. Named the Daishi during the Invasion by underworld contacts in Draconis space whose pseudo-Japanese translated to the very apt ‘Great Death’ this machine became the most dreaded of the initial Clan campaigns. In a bit of a turn around Khan Kerlin Ward apparently gave the plans to manufacture new Dire Wolves to the Dragoons on their final supply run. Conducting limited manufacturing on Outreach the Wolf Dragoons presented two of these InnerSphere made models to Victor Steiner-Davion and Hohiro Kurita at the Outreach Summit circa 3051 helping to somewhat level the playing field.

The Quicksilver Trials saw the Dire Wolf easily win a place as the 100-ton Vampire OmniMech of the Clans. A battle between the Wolves and the Jaguars for Primary Production Rights led by Khan Natasha Kerensky in her infamous Widowmaker saw the Clan which created it initially win. The Jaguars however managed to maintain Secondary Production Rights which they continue to avail themselves. Snow Raven, Steel Viper, Diamond Shark, Hell’s Horses, and Nova Cat continue to prefer the Dire Wolf despite the appearance of the DeChevalier (Werewolf) and Menoetius (Zombie) following the Quicksilver Trials. Ghost Bear and Jade Falcon now prefer the faster DeChevalier while Coyote has created the Menoetius. While many use this new Zombie in addition to the Dire Wolf (most notably Wolf) both Blood Spirit and Cloud Cobra are attempting to reduce costs by shifting exclusively to the Menoetius. A reorganizing Burrock Clan has taken the extraordinary step of selling off its slow Dire Wolf fleet to finance the rebuilding of their faster Touman. While this mirrors Ice Hellions long held stance which some have criticized as failure to win any Dire Wolves that Clan has moved on to trying seize a production share of the DeChevalier which it has so far failed to do. Likewise the Fire Mandrill Clan has failed to field any appreciable number of Dire Wolves in another display disunity or come up with a new preference as of yet in the wake of Quicksilver.

So, 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! Bonus point for the best new Quicksilver fluff!

The Dire Wolf.  Some consider this OmniMech to be the ultimate expression of the BattleTech Universe.  Not me, however.

I cannot deny that the firepower and armor of this machine are simply incredible.  BUT, it is also slow and hard to maneuver.  And for me, sacrificing the speed and elan that Clan OmniMechs are so capable of is just wrong in so many ways.

But.  Here we are.  And here is my take on the Quicksilver Dire Wolf.  Hope ya'll enjoy it.

Dire Wolf Assault-weight OmniMech

The final unit of the Quicksilver Trials to receive updated configurations was the infamous Dire Wolf.  But all of the Clans that field this monster were salivating over the prospects of putting their own stamp on one of the most famed and feared OmniMechs in existence.

Technicians, scientists, and Warriors collaborated to remove the three "externally" mounted double-strength heat sinks of the original Dire Wolf design.  And discovered that doing so was less difficult than originally thought.  This gave the design another 3 tons of pod-space (for a total of 53.5 tons!!) and freed up vital internal space.

Although powerful, the primary problem with the Dire Wolf Prime was that it simply mounted far too many weapons for its onboard heat sinks.  Just firing all four ER Large Lasers generated excess overheat!  Adding the twin UAC-5 and LRM-10 launcher put the configuration at + 10-12 . . . before movement!  At closer ranges, one struggles to figure out how to balance the heat load.  The four MPLs generate 16 heat . . . adding two ER LLs puts you at 40 . . . and you only dissipate 44.  You could add the LRM and just have movement heat . . . but you've only got 12 shots!  Or double-tap with the UAC-5s, but once again, that limited ammo makes that a very short-term deal.

saKhan Phelan Kell proposed the following redesign of the Dire Wolf Prime.  Only twenty DHS are mounted and both UAC-5s have been replaced by a pair of Gauss Rifles (each with three tons of ammunition).  Two ER Large Lasers have been retained (instead of four) . . . and the four Medium Pulse Lasers replaced with two ER Medium Lasers.  The LRM-10 launcher gained Artemis IV Fire-Control Systems and a second ton of ammunition. While maximum damage decreased by 24 points, this new Dire Wolf Prime generated only movement heat as excess overheat and had the ammunition reserves to fight a prolonged battle.

Configuration A was mostly viewed as one that needed only a slight amount of "tinkering" around the edges to get right.  Khan Natasha Kerensky ordered the Anti-Missile System ammunition reduced from three tons to just one ton, saving two tons which were then used to place a Medium Pulse Laser in the center torso.  The Streak SRM-6 launchers were divided between the right and left torsos, and one of the Large Pulse Lasers mounted underneath the Gauss Rifle in the left arm.  Although now capable of overheating, proponents noted that this only occurs when both Streak SRM-6 launchers lock onto a target.  Otherwise, the configuration runs heat neutral on a run (if one locks) or is oversinked (if neither locks).  Damage capacity increased, while the design is still well stocked to endure on the battlefield.

Configuration B with its quad-mounted very light ultra autocannon (4 UAC-2!!) was another head scratcher. Khan Lynn McKenna of Clan Snow Raven introduced an alternate configuration B for the Quicksilver Trials. Twenty-three DHS were mounted (instead of fifteen on the original B config) and both the two ER PPCs (right arm/left arm) and twin Medium Pulse Lasers (center torso) were retained.  All five autocannon and the ER Small Laser were removed, however, and replaced with two LB-5X Autocannons (right arm and left arm) each with two tons of ammunition and an LRM-15 launcher with Artemis IV FCS (right torso) with three tons of ammunition.  Finally, an ER Medium Laser was added to the head.  Overall, damage was increased . . . but the amount was neglible while maximum engagement range dropped slightly.  The twin LB-5X autocannons provided a more flexible option without the possibility of the autocannon jamming under rapid fire, while the missile pack ensured that maximum damage was on par with the original configuration.  Excess overheat production is moderate . . . +6 on a running Alpha Strike compared to +18 for the original concept.

Clan Smoke Jaguar contributed their C Configuration (the spiritual descendant of the canon S Configuration).  Twenty-one DHS are mounted and the design retains the LB-20X autocannon, the Large Pulse Laser, five Medium Pulse Lasers, and twin Streak SRM-4 launchers.  The jump jets, machine-guns, and A-Pods have been eliminated, however, and replaced with an LRM-15 launcher (right torso) with Artemis IV FCS and three tons of ammunition.  Max overheat has increased slightly (+7 on a running Alpha Strike with both Streak packs locking onto target), but max damage has also increased.

saKhan Nelson Elam of Clan Goliath Scorpion sought to upgrade the Dire Wolf W; this became Project Quicksilvers Dire Wolf D.  The short-ranged UAC-20 was replaced with a lighter (and longer-ranged) UAC-10 autocannon (with three tons of ammunition) in the left arm.  The right arm Gauss Rifle was retained, but ammunition was reduced from four tons to three tons.  A second ER Large Laser was mounted and these energy weapons were paired with Gauss Rifle and UAC-10 in the arms.  The LRM-20 was removed and the pair of Medium Pulse Lasers were replaced with two ER Medium Lasers (center torso).  The head-mounted ER Small Laser was retained.  All seven of these guns were tied into a seven ton Targeting Computer in the right torso.  Twenty DHS alleviate all but movement heat on an Alpha Strike (with a single shot from the UAC-10).  When double-tapping, excess overheat production is moderate and easily within the range any Clan Warrior should be able to handle.

Re: Quicksilver Upgrades #34: Dire Wolf (Daishi) 100 tons
« Reply #2 on: February 04, 2019, 02:58:31 AM »
Khan Malavai Fletcher of Clan Hell's Horses submitted the Dire Wolf E.  This configuration is based loosely upon the original Prime, but mounts two Gauss Rifles (right arm and left arm) each with three tons of ammunition, two ER PPCs (right arm and left arm), and an LRM-10 launcher with Artemis IV FCS (right torso) with two tons of ammunition.  18 DHS eliminates all but movement heat on an Alpha Strike.  While the configuration lacks any secondary weapon systems, it is able to project more than ample firepower at range and has the ammunition reserves to outlast most opponents and remain combat effective in all but the most prolonged engagements.

Feeling fluffless


"Hey Bob...."

"Yeah Dave...."

"I think I can improve upon the original Dire Wolf design..."

"No Way!"

"Yep I'll prove"

"How?"

"Simple the strip the fixed components and allow the warrior to choose how to place his equipment"

"Wow"

"Think we should tell anyone?"

"Nah, lets just change the production line and see if anyone notices"

"hahaha can't wait to see if anyone notices"

I'll start looking at this on Thursday with any luck :) Sadly we've moved around at work and I can't log in because the system don't remember my password, I'll check the one here and see if that works there.

Would the canon Hohiro, Prometheus, Widowmaker, and Ultraviolet configurations find a place in the Quicksilver Upgrades as possible variants?

There have been examples, not nearly as notable as those you point out namar13766, of Notable Mechwarrior Configurations which have won a Quicksilver Upgrade contest or two. As a rule I look for the ten best possible entries which would be the most useful in a general sense to the Clans. I am sure there would be obstacles with such entries such as what self respecting Clansman would use the dezgra configuration of an InnerSphere scion regularly (enter a trial of refusal or two dozen) and who wants to steal the intellectual property of the Black Widow herself at this time (now the Khan of Clan Wolf). I am not familiar with the Ultraviolet configuration but if you'd like to give it a whirl my friend please do so!

Here is a link to the Mech of the Week Article on this biggest and baddest of all the Clan Omnis;

https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=17033.0

Oh and btw here is a very special Dire Wolf used by a character in the Salient Horizon universe recently to successfully defend his election as the new saKhan of the Coyotes. Enjoy!

Great Coyote – Dire Wolf (modified) – Elam Tchernovkov

While saKhan-elect Elam’s tech team was prepared to furnish a far more radical design using equipment from the Great Coyotl his winning vote total necessitated a far more conservative approach. Selecting a Dire Wolf for modification his engineers removed the entire nineteen-ton Compound 12B2 Standard armor replacing it with sixteen (16) tons of bulkier Ferro-Fibrous. They also removed the Lower Arm Actuators which in combination with a lack of Hand Actuators provided more critical space in the arms. Now resembling massive barrels these could be flipped to fire rearward if the need arose. This left fifty-three and a half (53.5) tons of pod space available for weapons and equipment. Elam based his personal configuration for the Trial on the legendary Gausszilla piloted by Star Colonel Bryan Kabrinski of Ghost Bear origin. His take on that Golden Century design paired three massive Gauss Rifles each equipped with two tons of ammunition with an Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon and an Extended Range Large Laser. These five primary weapons enable the OmniMech to unleash sustained long-range fire (70 points of damage) while generating no overheat conditions for the design (30 heat). An additional Double Heat Sink was added to enable it to Alpha Strike with this massive arsenal and run if necessary. To account for the remaining half ton, an Extended Range Small Laser was mounted in the right torso enabling it to match Gausszilla’s firepower at close range while producing slight overheating if moving (+2 heat). As Chief Tech Mavik (Remer) remarked after its completion “the Great Coyote is quite simply a battlefield monster to be avoided at all costs.” [According to my calculations four (4) critical spaces remain unused in the right torso.]
