{{InfoBoxBattleMech |imagedropdown=File:Cougar.png |name=Cougar |tech=Clan |class=Light |mass=35 Tons |chassis=Endosteel |armortons=4.5 tons |armor=Ferro Fibrous |heat sinks=5 |speed=96.95 |jumpjets=Yes |armament=*2x[[CLRM10]] *1x[[ER Large Laser]] *1x[[ER Medium Laser]] *1x[[ER Small Laser]] |Electronics=*[[BAP]] |cost=C-bills }} {{Mech Description |Description=Although the Cougar is not able to go as fast as the [[Raven]] or [[Osiris]], it is one of the most powerful scout Mechs in existance and outguns both its Inner Sphere counterparts. |Strengths=Very fast, and well armored for a [[Light]] mech, the Cougar is suitable for a wide variety of missions, and not limited to merely scouting. Differing from the original version of the Cougar, the two Omni slots have been split to prevent the use of 3 [[ER Large Laser]]s on a light chassis. An excellent chassis for Capture the Flag games, it carries good armor protection for a mech of its weight class. [[Jump Jets]], good agility, and the ability to carry considerable long range weaponry make it a mech to be respected, if not feared. But these same qualities, coupled with the [[Enhanced Optics]] make the Cougar a surprisingly effective and deadly threat as a sniper.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> |Weaknesses=Though it can be effective in a wide variety of roles, the Cougar still represents a secondary threat on the battlefield. As with all [[Light]] mechs, legs are vulnerable, as are the arms. Removing the arms severely degrades it potential, and the Cougar will not absorb a great deal of damage before being destroyed. [[BAP]] equipped units are easy targets for missiles, and lack of [[ECM]] makes the design easy to track.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> |Acceleration=19.26 |Deceleration=28.89 |Turn Rate=1.40 |Torso Twist=140 |Twist Speed=80 |Elevation=50 |Heat Capacity=36.7 |Damage Multiplier=2.51 |Kill Bonus=450 |Second Mech Picture Link=cougarslots.jpg |Left Arm Slots=1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>2 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Omni]] |Right Arm Slots=1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>2 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Omni]] |Left Torso Slots=2 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Missile]] |Right Torso Slots=2 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Missile]] |ECM=No |BAP=Yes |Jump Jets=Yes |LAMS=Yes |Enhanced Optics=Yes |IFF Jammer=No |Advanced Gyro=Yes |Custom Variant=[[Cougar "Paper Armor"]] - Carries 3 LRM 20s but no armor. |Tech Category=Clan BattleMechs |Weight Category=Light BattleMechs |Tonnage Category=35 |OmniMech Category=OmniMechs |cost=C-bills }} <font size="5">'''Cougar'''</font> ==Description== Although the Cougar is not able to go as fast as the [[Raven]] or [[Osiris]], it is one of the most powerful scout Mechs in existance and outguns both its Inner Sphere counterparts. == Tactical Analysis == '''Strengths'''<br> Very fast, and well armored for a [[Light]] mech, the Cougar is suitable for a wide variety of missions, and not limited to merely scouting.
