| |
| - | ==Description==
| |
| - | The namesake of the Northwind Highlander mercenary unit, this 90-ton, jump-capable assault Mech is a force to be reckoned with.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | == Tactical Analysis ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Strengths'''<br>
| |
| - | Exceptionally agile for an Assault chassis, the Highlander performs more like a Heavy class mech in many ways. Its acceleration, deceleration and turn rate put it near the top of its class. It had excellent torso maneuverability, and this helps make it a good choice for close range combat. Also capable of carrying [[Jump Jets]], the Highlander can deploy to high ground, or pursue smaller units in areas where other Assault mechs are unable to follow. The ballistic heavy chassis is one of the few mechs capable of carrying the [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] and demands considerable respect wherever encountered.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Weaknesses'''<br>
| |
| - | Its arms carry the bulk of its ballistic weaponry, and should be targeted to reduce its effectiveness. Its [[ECM]] and Jump capability make it dangerous in flanking operations, and the Highlander can deploy to strategic area undetected. Its torso is fast for an Assault mech, and smaller units must be aware of this before attempting to tackle it alone. Lack of Omni slots limits its configuration options but it is quite capable of bringing tremendous firepower to any battlefield. Limited Energy slots make this cool running mech especially valuable in desert environments.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
