Media Release: Inner Sphere Sparrowhawk
« on: May 27, 2010, 12:52:44 AM »
The MechWarrior: Living Legends team is pleased to present a new addition to its aerospace arsenal: the Inner Sphere Sparrowhawk.

The variants are as follows:
 
Sparrowhawk "Prime"
2x Machine Gun, 2x Auto-Cannon/2, C3, BAP, GECM
 
Sparrowhawk "A"
2x Large Beam Laser, C3, BHP, GECM
 
Sparrowhawk "B"
2x Machine Gun, 1x LRM5, 1xLRM10, NARC Launcher, C3, BAP, GECM
 
Sparrowhawk "C"
1x LBX5, 2x Machine Gun, NARC Launcher, C3, BHP, GECM

The Sparrowhawk will be included along with numerous other updates and enhancements in the upcoming MechWarrior: Living Legends 0.3.0 update.

The B looks more like 2 LRM5, unless the LRM10 has the same model as the 5 ;)

Why bother with this news post when the next patch is just around the corner? It's simple. THE PATCH WILL BE DELAYED :'(

Hm.

My guess is that prices have been rebracketed so that the Sparrowhawk is in the starter price range and the Sulla is in the next tier. I'm also guessing some of the Sulla's non-lollerbolt variants have had a weapon's boost... 2 large beam lasers, for example, is way more tonnage than the 6 erml Sulla packs (where on the other hand the prime Sparrowhawk is basically a prime Sulla without the dual SSRM6s).

12 erml Sulla A, anyone?

Whoa. Just realized I'm comparing a 30 ton IS aero to a 45 ton clan aero. Big weapons boost, anyone?

Hahah. I'm just kidding.

But these Sparrowhawks are seriously overweight. The Prime one has over 15 tons more equipment than it can carry. That's more than 50% of the total weight of that Aero ;D

This is making me as seriously excited for the Sulla as it is for the new thing. I'm trying to figure out some of the possible new configs.. perhaps closer to the canon variants?

2 erppc, 1 mpl, 1 sbl? Perhaps boosted to 2 erppc, 3 mpl? (to account for tonnage differentials with the Sparrowhawk)

prime changed to 2x AC5, 2x mg, 2x ssrm6?

ERPPC, 2 lpl, 1 sbl boosted to erppc, 2 lpl, 2 mg?

This is fun.

Nice to see something in aerospace fighters being added to the game. This should make those blasted Shiva's think twice.

I have to say that i like the new than the previous version. In it, there were twin Cannons for the nose. This one however has twin boom wings next to the canopy.
