Recognition Notes
The Black Watch BKW-9R is an 85-ton assault reworked as a sniper, a 3070 field refit of the 3061 BKW-7R that fought as a close-in juggernaut. Where the BKW-7R carried a Light Gauss Rifle and Ultra AC/10, the 9R mounts a Gauss Rifle in the left arm and a Heavy PPC in the right, with an MML 7 in each torso replacing the single MRM 40. A TAG unit sits in the head, and the CASE and C3 slave unit of the earlier model are gone. Heat-sink count rises from 10 to 12 double, and the engine, cruising speed of 32 km/h, and top speed of 54 km/h carry over unchanged. It is fielded as a field refit rather than a factory-built variant.
