Overview[]

The CPLT-C4 sacrifices close range weapons and heatsinks for increased damage at long range. Two huge LRM 20 missile racks are supplied by two tons of ammunition each. Two Small Lasers provide for close range defense.

Strengths[]

This Battlemech excels at long-range missile bombardment while also being able to provide supplementary damage with its lasers.

This is the only Catapult variant that can use 20 missile tubes in each arm, allowing it to fire LRM 20s in a single salvo.

Weaknesses[]

This 'mech can only provide supplementary damage at close-range, which forces the pilot to require the protection of friendly heavier-duty direct-fire 'mechs.
