Piranha Light Mech

[front] [side]

Like its Lynx cousin, the Piranha light mech was designed to mix speed with firepower. With the 35 ton Piranha, this mainly comes from a battery of 4 medium ER lasers. Two small ER lasers, dual machine guns, and an overhead Streak SRM-4 battery round out the weapons load.

As with the Lynx, the Piranha has no room for jump jets. However the energy weapons and ample engine allow Piranha pilots a larger margin for aiming error - they simply keep shooting.

Builder Notes

This mech was inspired by Ron Perovich's "Old Raven" design. I like the Piranha's emphasis on energy weapons, as it reflects my own Mechwarrior II playing style.
