AHB-443b Tech Room Description
The Ahab debuted in 2697 as the heaviest Aerospace Fighter ever produced, a devastating missile boat for the SLDF and other Great House armies. Poor acceleration and maneuverability, likened by pilots to a moose in molasses, is compensated by fifteen and a half tons of standard armor and a staggering array of weaponry: a full squadron of Ahabs is capable of shooting down light and medium DropShips in a single pass.
Originally manufactured by Harvard Company, Inc., BBA would pick up production in the early 3000s when financial malfeasance brought down the company. BBA would build only a limited number of new Ahabs and spare parts, and only to ComStar, allowing the fighters in service to the other Inner Sphere powers to fall into disrepair. In 3061 the company began production of two new variants, which were sold only to the Word of Blake.
Slow but well armored, the Ahab really depends upon its two Delta Dart-20 Long Range Missile Racks, with three tons of ammo each, to soften up opponents at extreme range. When the Ahab closes, it switches to its Federated-6 Short-Range Missile Racks with two tons of ammo to finish them off. Its Large Laser and paired Medium Lasers are really just a deterrent used when the ammo has been depleted.
AHB-443b - Designed and deployed exclusively for SLDF Royal commands, the AHB-443B Ahab upgrades to Ferro-Aluminum armor and Double Heat Sinks. The Large Laser is upgraded to an ER Large Laser
AHB-MD Tech Room Description
AHB-MD - The most recent and deadly variant mounts a Large Pulse Laser and two Medium lasers in the nose, guided by a Targeting computer, making it a surprisingly deadly dogfighter. A MRM-40 rack under each wing with four tons of ammunition, as well as hardpoints for two Alamo nuclear weapons, turns this bird into a DropShip killer.
AHB-X Tech Room Description
AHB-X - The most recent and deadly variant mounts a Large Laser and five Medium lasers in the nose, guided by a Targeting computer, making it a surprisingly deadly dogfighter. A LRM-20 an SSRM6 rack under the wings with two tons of ammunition, as well as hardpoints for two Alamo nuclear weapons or 4-10 other Capital Weapons and Bombs, turns this bird into a DropShip killer
