Recognition notes
The BHKU-OF is a 60-ton configuration of the Black Hawk-KU built for sniping at long range, where the BHKU-O Prime configuration fights as a skirmisher armed with a wall of medium lasers and medium pulse lasers in both arms. In place of that short-range battery, the OF mounts a Heavy PPC in the left arm and a pair of Light PPCs in the right arm. It carries a C3 slave unit in the head, absent from the Prime, and runs on 14 double heat sinks against the Prime's 16. Cruising speed, top speed, and the 150-metre jump range all carry over unchanged, and the configuration keeps the same easily-serviced design as its base. Luthien Armor Works builds it at its OmniMech Production Facility on Luthien, with other lines producing it as well.
