Overview:
Created during the early years of the era known as the "Wobbie Temper Tantrum",
the Uziel UZL-4S was an attempt to improve on the aspects of the UZL-2S with
newly discovered and experimental technologies. First produced in 3070, the
Uziel UZL-4S would soon see widespread use in the LAAF and AFFS, as well as the
mercenaries and other allies that support them.
Capabilities:
Just like the UZL-2S that it was based on, the Uziel UZL-4S was designed to be
a hard-hitting striker/reconnaisance unit. The weapons system was overhauled,
with only the Harvester 20K SRM-6 launcher being retained, albeit with its
ammuntion now CASE-protected. The arm-mounted PPCs were replaced with Defiance
250 Light PPCs, with both coupled with a PPC Capacitor; this allows the UZL-4S
to match the arm-mounted firepower of the UZL-2S. Close-range firepower was
further improved, with the addition of a Defiance Model XII ER Medium Laser in
each side torso, while a Defiance D5S Small Pulse Laser mounted on the mech's
"chin"(head) is intended to deal with enemy infantry/battlearmor. An
additional double heat sink was also squeezed in, increasing the total amount
of double heat sinks to twelve.
In terms of protection, the armor has been replaced with ten tons of Durallex
Lite-R Light Ferro-Fibrous, giving the Uziel a much thicker skin. Besides
improved armor, the UZL-4S also has Guardian ECM Suite, which provides
protection against enemy electronics, as well as an effective counter to the
Blakists' heavy C3 network use.
Deployment:
As mentioned earlier, the Uziel UZL-4S is primarily deployed by the forces of
the LAAF and the AFFS. Other notable forces that had deployed this battlemech
model include the Wolf's Dragoons, the Kell Hounds, and surprisingly, Clan
Wolf-in-Exile.
Variants:
UZL-4SA - this sub-variant of the UZL-4S swaps the Guardian ECM Suite for a
Beagle Active Probe.
UZL-4SW- a unique sub-variant only seen in Clan Wolf-in-Exile, this version
replaces all of the weapons. Each arm now has an Clan-spec ER Large Laser for
long-range combat, while each side torso has an Clan-spec ER Medium Laser and a
Micro Pulse Laser, while a Clan-spec Streak SRM-6 launcher replaces the
original SRM-6 launcher. The Guardian ECM Suite was also dropped, and
replaced with an experimental Watchdog System.
