Infamous for its limited torso turn. == Tactical Analysis == '''Offensive'''<br> Known among the Clans as the Nova, the Black Hawk is a quick and nimble chassis that can carry a very respectable payload. Generous Omni bays allow many different options to be taken; however, as with all mediums weight is at a premium. The chassis is capable of mounting Jump Jets as well, making it very mobile and easily able to access superior firing positions. A limited 60-degree torso twist means the Black Hawk does very poorly in traditional circle fights or dealing with enemies on the flanks; a better option is to use the superior acceleration and maneuverability of the chassis to make slashing hit and run attacks - the Black Hawk in fact turns faster than it can twist its torso. '''Defensive'''<br> The Black Hawk mounts average armour protection for its size but its real defence is that the chassis hangs very low to the ground - shorter than many Light 'mechs, in fact. This allows it to exploit low hills and other terrain features that would not cover larger 'mechs. The position of the arms and legs also shield the body of the machine, making the central torso section hard to hit unless attacked directly from the front or above - shooting a Black Hawk in the rear is more likely to result in damage to the legs, and attacks from the side more often than not hit the arms. Both chin racks are also mounted in separate armour slots, allowing them to survive destruction even if all other areas on the 'mech are destroyed; while they can only mount smaller weapons, this does mean even a heavily damaged Black Hawk can count on having those weapons available. Combined with the ability to mount Jump Jets, it makes an excellent "trencher", sniping from hilltops then retreating behind them for cover. Alternately, while it cannot mount any electronics, it does very well in a fast cavalry or heavy scout role, using its speed to exploit flanking opportunities and small size to remain undetected. ==Chassis== '''Performance Specifications''' <table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' width="200px"> <tr> <td> Acceleration<br> Deceleration<br> Turn Rate<br> Torso Twist<br> Twist Speed<br> Elevation<br> Heat Capacity<br> Damage Multiplier<br> Kill Bonus<br> </td> <td align="center"> <!--Acceleration-->13.74<br> <!--Deceleration-->20.61<br> <!--Turn Rate-->1.05<br> <!--Torso Twist-->60<br> <!--Twist Speed-->70<br> <!--Elevation-->40<br> <!--Heat Capacity-->43.7<br> 1.79<br> 350 </td> </tr> </table> ==Weapon Slots== [[Image:blackhawkslots.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Mad Cat weapon slots|Mech Lab Weapon Slots]] <table Width="300> <tr> <td width="100">'''Location'''</td> <td>'''Slot Type and Size'''</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top>Left Arm</td> <td>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>3 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Omni]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top>Right Arm</td> <td>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>3 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Omni]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Left Torso</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Right Torso</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Center Torso</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Head</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top>Chin Rack</td> <td>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Direct Fire]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top>Chin Rack</td> <td>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Direct Fire]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Left Leg</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Right Leg</td> <td></td> </tr> </table> == Mountable Equipment == <table width="50%" align="center" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td align="right">'''Equipment'''</td> <td>'''Mountable'''</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">[[Equipment#ECM|ECM]]</td> <td>No</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">[[Equipment#BAP|BAP]]</td> <td>No</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">[[Equipment#Jump Jets|Jump Jets]]</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">[[Equipment#LAMS|LAMS]]</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">[[Equipment#Enhanced Optics|Enhanced Optics]]</td> <td>No</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">[[Equipment#IFF Jammer|IFF Jammer]]</td> <td>No</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">[[Equipment#Advanced Gyro|Advanced Gyro]]</td> <td>No</td> </tr> </table> ==MW4 Variants == *You can [[Special:Upload|upload]] your favorite variants here for others to try out. *Save variants to the "\mektek.net\Mechwarrior Mercenaries - Mektek Mekpak\RESOURCE\VariantsMTMP3" folder **Read [[User Variants|here]] for complete instructions on how to upload and download user variants. *You can also create an entire page detailing your custom variant.
