Overview:
    have you ever thought that 50 LRM's from a platform like The Longbow is too little that you
    want to bring enough firepower to level a whole countryside well I have the mech for you the
    Hwacha. the Hwacha was a mech designed during the Star League in order to provide increased
    fire support and help supplement defenses at bases. this design however would be incredibly
    expensive and slow meaning it had a hard time keeping up with other support mechs that were
    cheaper and better suited to deal with enemy mechs attacking them. the Hwacha would
    dissapere after the ammaris civle war.

Capabilities:
    the Hwacha is armed with an array of LRM tubes with a total of 100 LRM tubes fed by 10 tons
    of ammo on the mech cooled by a set of 12 inner sphere double heatsinks. a 200-rate engine
    powers the Hwacha allowing the mech to move at a respectable 32kph. The Hwacha is protected
    by 14.5 tons of StarGuard III plate allowing it to take a hit still even though it is never
    meant to take one.

Deployment:
    the Hwacha would be deployed only in small numbers through SLDF divisions with most pilots
    praising the pure firepower of the mech that worked well with spotter mechs. the last active
    lance of Hwacha was destroyed upon the fields of terra, however, it is believed that some
    may be in storage in SLDF cashes.

Variants:
    i may make a SRM variant
