Overview:
The WS-2P Wisp is a recon ‘Mech first and foremost. Though it does have some capabilities as an infantry support ‘Mech, its light armor and limited armament make it unsuitable for any save the most limited of actions (ie, counterinsurgency on a world with no ‘Mech forces). Its extremely high speed allows it to act as a scout, withdrawing at the first sign of danger utilizing its MASC circuitry.
The medium laser on this ‘Mech is more useful at starting fires and harassing the enemy rather than being a true anti-’Mech weapon. These ‘Mechs are often teamed together, possibly with a Locust or Hussar to act as the ‘Heavy’ firepower element for the lance. These lances may often be found behind the enemy lines, disrupting the communications and supply lines, or at the head of an advance, trying to draw out enemy ‘Mechs. When an enemy is spotted, the pilots report the position, engage MASC, and run as if their lives depended on it, which they often do.
Pilots of the Wisp should always remember that he who spies then runs away may live to spy another day.
