Overview

The RVN-3L is a recently produced version of the scout 'Mech that puts to use quite a number of rediscovered Lostech technologies. Powering the 'Mech is a weight saving XL Engine. ECM protects the 'Mech and nearby friendlies from enemy radar, while BAP allows it to more effectively find enemies. Finally, a NARC Beacon and TAG Laser allow it to tag enemy 'Mechs for other missile equipped 'Mechs to target.

Strengths

• ECM
• BAP
• TAG and NARC Beacon gives the Raven the ability to effectively spot and hold targets for allied LRMs.
• Can equip larger engines than the other Raven models.
• The missile hardpoint in the RT supports up to 10 tubes. The missile hardpoint in the LA supports up to 20 tubes.

Weaknesses

• The XL Engine means that if a side torso is destroyed, the 'mech is taken out.
• Mere adequate Speed for a Scout Mech (Is slower than a Jenner, assuming both are stock).
• Use of both TAG and NARC can be a bit redundant as they both serve a similar purpose. But NARC allows for tag-and-run.

Chassis Quirks

• -5% Laser Duration
• +10% Missile Range
• +10% Missile Velocity
• +10% Improved Missile Cooldown
• +100 NARC Beacon Range
• +15 NARC Beacon duration
• Structure Bonus: +8 Legs

Changelog
