Overview:
The Stachelschwein (German for porcupine) was concieved as a heavy attack tank
to be jointly produced by the Lyran Commonwealth and the Wolves in Exile. Its
design called for it to be "bristling with weapons." No expense was spared,
and the design mounts both Clan and Inner Sphere technology. Runaway costs
have proved to be a problem, however, that might shelve the tank given the
Commonwealth's current precarious state.
Capabilities:
The Stachelschwein's main punch comes from a tried and true LB-10X autocannon.
A large Reengineered Laser was added to provide additional punch against the
new armor types used by the Jade Falcons and Draconis Combine. A trio of MML
5s mounted one in the turret and two in the front provide added flexiblity.
Finally, six Clan AP-Gauss Rifles give the tank exceptional defense against
enemy battle armor and conventional infantry.
Deployment:
Only a few prototypes of this tank have been constructed so far. It is not yet
know if it will reach full production status.
