Recognition Notes

The Baboon (Howler) 2 is a 20-ton striker built from the missile-boat original with a different bite and a faster leg. Where the 2871 Baboon (Howler) carried three LRM 5 racks in the right torso, this 3063 rework mounts four ATM 3 launchers in the same location. A 120 XL fusion engine replaces the original's 140 fusion engine, cruising speed falls from 76 to 65 km/h with a top speed of 97, and a MASC system in the center torso lets the machine sprint to 130 km/h when engaged. It keeps a low, hard-to-target silhouette and a fixed searchlight. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent (Celebes).
