Just a recreation, I think, of my old Von Steuben tank from previous boards.  Nothing says "Hello!" quite like eight medium lasers and an AC/20. :)

A real defensive tank for cities and other hard to reach places.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

And for variety you could swap out the AC/20 for a gauss or a pair of LRM-15's.

I always held that many energy weapons on a combat vehicle is a bad idea, you eat up mass in heat sinks.  have you considered X Tech Chemical lasers.

Agreed about energy weapons eating up too much mass but I couldn't pass up the medium laser spam. :)

Chemical lasers - They'd be wonderful on this but since I usually design for Age of War and Succession War periods they'd be a bit outta place. :(

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.
