Weapons Systems:

1. Eight .5¨ª Caliber Machinegun: The general purpose weapon of the Warhawk series; A fully automatic, heavy machine gun has been around since the early 2¨ªth Century on Earth, and nearly identical ones have existed just about everywhere. In all mechanical functions, the Regult Series Battle Pods auto-cannon is so similar that some would call them identical; Only the caliber is significantly different (and thus, the engineering is SLIGHTLY different). The addition of Depleted Uranium rounds to the available inventory has added to the lethality of the .5¨ª¡¯s significantly. Also, during the War with the Regent, Plasma-662 propellant was developed; The charge was reduced to exactly emulate the effect of Cordite propellant, so it does NOT effect the damage. The original specifications called for only six of these trusted guns; However, with the advantages of grav pod technology, an additional two were installed. Purpose: Anti-Personnel/Armor Damage: Lead (Ball) shot: 7D6 Per round; Depleted Uranium rounds: 1D6¡¿1¨ª MD per round; Burst fire only. Rate of Fire: Burst fire only; fires i fire round burst per pilots attacks per melee. .5¨ª¡¯s used on the Warbird series were specially modified at the factory to be burst fire only. Range: 6¨ª¨ª feet Payload: 6¨ª,¨ª¨ª¨ª rounds are normally carried- That's 12,¨ª¨ª¨ª bursts. Weight: 5¨ª lbs Cost and Availability: 5,¨ª¨ª¨ª credits; Occasionally available. Highly sought after, and made by a wide number of black marketers. Ammo Cost and Availability: Ball rounds: 8¨ª¨ª to 1,¨ª¨ª¨ª credits for a box of 5¨ª; Routinely available. DU rounds: Up to 1¨ª¨ª thousand credits for a box of 5¨ª; Rare. Highly sought after.

2. Wing Mounted Weapons Systems: The plane can carry up to 8 pods. A) M-7 Rocket Launcher: 24 2-inch rocket tubes in 12 rows of 4 each. Each rocket tube has 4 rockets. Purpose: Heavy Assault MD: Each rocket does 2D6 MD Rate of Fire: Volleys of 6 or 12 times pilots attacks per melee. Range: 12,¨ª¨ª¨ª feet Payload: 96 per pod. Up to 6 pods can be carried. B) TM-11 Torpedo Pod: An ASW torpedo pod. Carries the Mk-82 Airborne Torpedo, essentially a modified version of the Mk-81 Submarine Launched Torpedo. The initial launch is by a nothing so complicated as releasing it from the latches that hold it to the pylon. The on board hydro-cell motor then takes over as soon as the torpedo splashes. Each pod hold 3 Mk-82¡¯s. Purpose: Offensive/Anti-Ship MD: 4D6¡¿1¨ª per torpedo Blast Radius: 4¨ª feet Maximum Range: 8¨ª miles Minimum Range: 5 miles Rate of Fire: 1 torpedo per pilots attacks per melee. Payload: Each pod holds 3 Mk-82¡¯s. C) TM-12 Fuel Pod: Essentially a modified version of the M-11 Torpedo Pod. In this case, however, it is used as a fuel pod to double the normal range of the craft. D) C-441 Canister Pod: Basically a hollowed out version of the M-7 pod, used to drop highly sensitive and extensive messages. A nose-mounted device using GPS or laser detection guides the pod to within ¨ûth of an inch of the intended target.

Features:

Radar: Combat grade radar. Range 1¨ª¨ª miles, can track up to 2¨ª¨ª individual targets. 9¨ª% reliability (no reliability against unfriendly stealthed air vehicles, 1¨ª% against unfriendly ground vehicles). Magnetic Anomaly Sensor (MAD): Detects magnetic anomalies; In short, an over-powered metal detector. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): generates a fairly intensive magnetic field, which then is interrupted by a radio signal. this, then, causes the atoms in a given object to align, causing a minor electronic field, which can then be detected. Electronic Counter Measures (ECM): These systems disrupt enemy radar and tracking systems, making it difficult for them to lock onto the ship with weapons. The countermeasures give the Mecha a +3 to dodge, +2 to strike and +1 on initiative in combat. ESM: Radar Detector. Passively detects other radars being operated. AJP: Active Jamming Pod. Causes-25% to detection but when it is active, other vehicles/bases can detect that it is jamming, and some missiles will home in on jamming signals. Jamming also causes a-4 penalty to all radar guided weapons. GPS: Standard tracking device. Ties into the Blue Force Tracker. Decoys: Specially modified Mini-Missiles used as decoys; Burning globs of magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems, as well as creating a lot of smoke to obscure the Mecha. NOTE: Though the modified mini-missiles combine smoke flares, AMC/FDs, and LDP¡¯s, they aren¡¯t powerful enough for use with Destroids/Guardians/Etc. Reduce effects by 2¨ª% against smart missiles (add +2¨ª% to rolls for smart missiles.) Effect: ¨ª1-5¨ª: Enemy missile or missile volley detonates in chaff cloud- Missiles are all destroyed. 51-75: Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target). 76-¨ª¨ª: No effect, missile is still on target. Also note that the chaff cloud will also blind nearby heat sensors (and optically based sensors at night) for 1 melee. They will suffer the following penalties: Reduce melee attacks/actions, and combat bonuses by half. Also, a cloud of smoke approximately 25©÷ feet wide and high by about 1 half-mile long. Duration: 1D4 melee rounds. Rate of Fire: Once per melee. Payload: 6 chaff/flares.

Full range optic sensory suite: Infrared, ultra violet, Magnification, night sight, color filters, thermal imager. Range is about 2¨ª¨ª miles for MOST sensors. Motion Detector: Activates a loud wailing when an object is coming at the user fast, and a soft ringing if it¡¯s coming slowly. Activation ranges must be specified by the pilot. Blue Force Tracker: Identifies friend from foe. Overlays the information on both the radar and HUD, ensuring that friendly forces are not accidentally targeted. MRA 6 Radios: Allows real time, continuous radio link up with friendly forces in the area via satellite relay over laser radio signals, preventing jamming, and automatically encrypts/decrypts same to prevent eavesdropping. Type-11 wide band radios: Effective 1¨ª mile range, auto encrypt/decrypt. Works on standard radio band wavelengths, so it can still be jammed (if the enemy knows the frequencies). HUD: Displays targeting, airspeed, artificial horizon, and true direction information directly in front of the pilot. FLIR/SLIR: Forward and Side Looking Infrared. Allows pilot to get visuals on targets at night. NOTE: The systems ONLY has forward looking infrared, not side looking. Video Camera: 2¨ª,¨ª¨ª¨ª¡¿ zoom lens, records all data observed by the unit. 5,¨ª¨ª¨ª hours of recording available. Grav Clamps: Grav pods in the wheels of the landing gears allow the planes to adhere to the hulls of warships and the exteriors of SOME buildings up to a full 9¨ª¡Æ angle (nose up, down, or to the sides doesn't matter). Combat/Targeting Computer: Records all enemy and friendly activity over the course of time; Can replay that activity for the pilot, assign target designation numbers, and track likely damage based on mathematical formulas (i.e. ¡°Right leg red¡± badly damaged/destroyed, ¡°head green¡± not damaged, etc). Displays this information as a pop up in the HUD as requested by the pilot. CBR Protection: Complete chemical, biohazard, and radiological protection. Vacuum Seal: Permits the Mecha to be used in hard vacuum (such as outer space), and other hostile environments. Variable Tint Cockpit Canopy: Adjusts tinting to light conditions, up to an including a black dot if the sun is directly on the pilots face (only covers eyes). Fire resistance: Fires external to the tank are not felt at all. Internal temperature and humidity control: Automatically maintains users desired heat, humidity, and other personal comfort settings. Survival Pack: A pack of simpler emergency survival supplies: Sleeping bag, black light, GPS, first aid kit (bandages, gauze, bandage tape, pads, antiseptic/analgesic), plasma torch (for small repairs and starting fires), repair kit (with MDC Repair Spray), sewing kit (a small spool of thread and 5 needles), 7 star flares (25¨ª foot apogee), 1¨ª¨ª feet of black or brown parachute cord (15¨ª lbs tensile strength; This is in addition to several hundred feet from their parachute itself), 2-5 days rations, 2 gallons water, water purification kit (good for about 1¨ª gallons), self-inflating lifevest (15# buoyancy). The fuselage doubles as a survival raft using the same floatation foam used on the Reisen (Zero) Fighter (under licence) and as a pup tent; Neither a liferaft NOR a pup tent are included in the survival kit.
