On paper, the C Variant of the Templar Omni seems a jumble of too many weapons and not enough heat sinks. A closer look reveals that while it's something of a callback to the venerable Victor, the Templar C is also a bracket-firing extraordinaire.
It's main gun, the LB 20-X Autocannon isn't just distinguished by the cloud of cluster fragments it can fire, but also by it's range. 4/8/12 is a vast improvement over a standard AC20's range. It also happens to sync perfectly with the sole ER Medium Laser, which may have been considered an afterthought by some. Combined with the ER PPC, you have a solid mid-range arsenal that is easily sunk by the design's 14 DHS.
5 Medium Pulse Lasers may seem excessive in some ways. 10 tons devoted to lasers with what seems like a miniscule range of 2/4/6. But it also works out to have the exact same footprint of heat generation as the ERPPC and ERML. After the Templar has opened holes in enemy Mechs, it can use its superior maneuverability to close in. At 120 meters or less, the 5 MPLs and massive LBX cannon will exploit any holes that you can find. And with its maximum armor of 16.5 tons?
XL Engine or no, the Templar C can hang in the battle a long time. Cool as a cucumber when piloted right, a worthy FedSuns successor to the Victor, and hell on 2 legs to any Mech caught unawares. |
