This Stalker keeps its standard engine and original armor.
Two ER-PPC's tied into a TC are nice main weapons and the short range guns are a good choice too. With only one ton of CASEd ammo the pilot can stay calmer than that of other Stalker variants. |

Heres a mech I can really dig.
For once, its nice to see an assault mech that isnt using FF armor, Endo steel, and XL engines all at once.
The weapons have a very nice range envelope, and deal more damage as the mech closes with its target. My only question concerns the small laser.....WHY?
The TC gives this thing better accuracy, and more importantly, lets you target specific areas. A nice way to get yourself some nice salvage. |

A very nice design that can actually hold itself rather effectively without Endo-steel/FF or even XL engines. Which is a major plus point as this means that older Stalkers can be refitted almost directly except for the CASE and TC which might require a factory for tooling.
This is wonderful for a field refit kit which is very big bonus in my book.
The TC is wonderful for the mech allowing it to rain a deadly hail of lasers very accurately upclose while it further assist in the shooting of the ERPPCs.The Streaks are another great touch, and lets u exploit all the holes those weapons create.
The armor is still tad low though which can be a bad thing in prolonged long range engagements since close range is where this boy shines. Stick him into a city and damn, now we are talking. The low armor does not matter much if u can effectively turn your enemy to scrap in 1 or 2 turns.
If there is only 1 flaw in the design, i would have to say its the small laser....Scrap it for some armor and we are gold.

Its good, even though it has a low armour value its survivability is very good. It has a standard engine and a single crit for ammo, average speed and ok heat ability as long as you moderate your fire, otherwise the targeting computer makes its shooting very deadly especially coupled with the two ERPPC's.
A nice sniper and brawler. |

A pulse/tc Stalker? Well, more or less...
The good:
Accuracy: with 4 medium pulse lasers backed by a targeting computer this is accurate as short range. The twin ER PPC's naturally also benefit from the targeting computer at long range.
Heat control: You can fire the ER PPC's and runn all day without breaking a sweat. If things get close, take out an ER PPC and fire everything else. Assuming both your streaks don't fire every turn, you'll keep your heat under control well.
The bad:
Armor: with only 13.5 tons of standard armor (the same as for the 3025 Stalker) this is decidedly under-armored by modern standards.
Mobility: at 3/5 it's has average mobility for an assault 'Mech - and that means lousy.
The average:
Survivability: the armor is low, but only 1 ton of ammo and a standard engine make survivability acceptable.
Firepower: At long range it can only hit for 20 points - not much for a modern assault 'Mech. In fact, that 20 points is all this Stalker has got until the streak 4's come into range at 9 hexes. In other words, hope your opponent wants to close range on you ('cause with your speed, you'll need plenty of help). Up close - 6 hexes or less - things start to much better. Total firepower factoring in heat is 55 points of damage - that's not outstanding for an assault, but far from shabby either. But since a lot of that is pulse and most of it is suported by the targeting computer, you'll be getting a lot of it on target - which is what counts. |
