Its agility and torso twist efficiency make it a premier brawler, and in the right hands it presents an significant threat capable of brutalizing enemies. Its armor protection, at 390 points, make it extremely tough to kill. Its ballistic heavy configuration is geared primarily towards close range combat, though its distribution of weapons slots allow it considerable versatility for an Inner Sphere mech. The right arm is capable of carrying the [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]], giving it considerable first strike potential.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> |
|Weaknesses=Its electronics suite is designed to permit this unit to approach enemies in relative secrecy, but enables missile equipped units to obtain weapons lock more quickly. A serious close quarters threat, the Dragon should be targeted with long range weapons if possible, and under no circumstances should it be allowed to penetrate defensive perimeters. One minor complaint that combat pilots have expressed with the chassis is the prominent cockpit window supports, which can partially block vision. This is a small concern however, and with some experience the supports are not noticable in combat situations.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> | |Weaknesses=Its electronics suite is designed to permit this unit to approach enemies in relative secrecy, but enables missile equipped units to obtain weapons lock more quickly.
