================================================================================================
Overview:
    A design that came too late to saw active service during the Clan War, the Tomahawk
    nevertheless made an appearance in the late 3050s serving as a low cost firesupport mech.

Capabilities:
    The Tomahawk's main weapons are its Artemis slaved Doombud LRM-15 and a Johnston High Speed
    Particle Projection Cannon. Both weapons boast ample reach and are capable of dealing a
    solid punch against mechs of lighter and medium classes while rattling heavier designs.
    These 2 weapons are further backed up by a pair of Diverse Optics medium lasers which serve
    as a defensive tool.
    
    
    
    As a second line firesupport unit, the Tomahawk was not designed to be a fast but it is
    still superbly manuverable thanks to its 4 Swingfire 1000 jumpjets. Furthermore the mech is
    almost fully armored and has its ammo CASED, allowing the Tomahawk to take some punishment
    and dish it back to the enemy.
    
    
    
    Although the mech might not look extremely impressive on paper, its cost of 4.5 million +
    C-bills is the real winner. Such a cost would allow the AFFC to buy huge numbers of these
    mechs with little fear to pad their heavier mech forces.

Deployment:
    As of the now, 2 companies worth of Tomahawks have being purchased and are heading for
    various units that request firesupport mechs.
