Overview:
    The Whitworth, out of production since the forces of Stefan Amaris destroyed the
    Whitworth factory on Dieron in the final days of the Star League, has continued to
    serve well, mostly with Kurita and Davion units.  The 'Mech is a specialized
    design, too slow to run and too poorly armored for slugfests.  The Whitworth's
    forte is long-range fighting, but it needs the support of other 'Mechs to perform
    its mission.
    
    From its earliest days, the Whitworth's biggest problem occurred when a
    MechWarrior tried to fight with it at close range.  Even the first models were
    ill-suited for this role.  Designers discouraged the practice by removing the
    short-range missile launchers in favor of long-range racks.  Still, many
    MechWarriors who had used up all their missiles would close to finish off the
    enemy with their medium lasers.  Too often, it was the Whitworth that got finished
    off.
    
    Recently, field modification kits have been issued to Davion and Kurita units
    that have Whitworths.  Techs in these units replace the medium lasers with Artemis
    IV fire-control systems.  This significantly improves the accuracy of the
    long-range missiles and removes any temptation to close with the enemy.
