Recognition Notes
The Blackjack BJ-1 is a 45-ton sniper, a 2757 rework of the 2756 BJ-1X skirmisher. Where the BJ-1X carries paired flamers alongside its medium lasers in each arm, the BJ-1 replaces those flamers with an AC/2 in the left arm and another AC/2 in the right arm, keeping the medium lasers in each arm and in the left and right torso. A lighter 180 fusion engine cuts cruising speed from 54 to 43 km/h and top speed from 86 to 65 km/h, and the BJ-1 adds jump jets giving it a 120-meter jump the BJ-1X lacks. Heat-sink count falls from 18 to 11 single sinks. General Motors builds the type at Kathil.
