Overview

The HBK-4H can be directly compared the to Hunchback HBK-4G. Both are able to mount large ballistic weapons, but the -4H trades the ability to carry a number of ballistic weapons for the ability to carry even more energy weapons.

Stock Loadout

The -4H trades the AC/20 of the -4G model for a longer ranged and lighter AC/10. The weight saved allows the 'Mech to mount two additional Medium Lasers which makes up for the lost damage potential of the original design.

Strengths

The HBK-4H exchanged two ballistic Hardpoints in the right torso for two energy hardpoints. This is arguably a favorably hardpoint set up since the limited tonnage of the Hunchback means it can more easily carry a large number of lasers than it could autocannons. Like all Hunchbacks, it possesses an impressive torso twist range which allows it to more easily keep its torso mounted weapons on target.

Weaknesses

Like most Hunchbacks, once the right torso of the HBK-4H is destroyed, so is most of its firepower. Additionally, the large jutting cockpit means its relatively easy to hit, even from its left side.
