Overview:
The limited resources available to the Clans after the Jihad led to a swing in
the toumans towards vehicles. The Hells Horses, with a newly acquired
occupation zone to police and extensive experience of using combat vehicles,
produced the Nactmaren as a multi-role attack helicopter


Capabilities:
The Nactmaren doesn't win many races against other light vehicles or some older
'Mechs but against the improvised wargear of most resistance it's more than
sufficient and it can harass heavier units effectively.


Primary armament is a pair of extended range medium lasers supported at long
range with two LRM racks. At close quarters the Nactmaren is a nightmare for
unarmoured infantry with six miniguns mounted under the nose.

not bad, it beats out the Garuda by being standard sized.  for my money and the role it is trying to fill I would take the Balac.  Lighter and more focused.  Variants lend itself well to the 2 vehicle point system as well.
