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.
