Recognition notes
The Blood Kite is an 85-ton assault built for long-range sniping, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54, with a jump capability of 90 metres. It carries three ER Large Lasers, one each in the Left Arm, Center Torso, and Head, and pairs them with three LRM 15 racks split across the Right Arm, Left Torso, and Right Torso. Three SRM 4 launchers, one in the Right Arm and one each in the two side torsos, give it a secondary punch at closer quarters. The frame is described as rugged and field-serviceable, an easily-serviced design that eases upkeep in the field. It is built by York BattleMech Y3 Facility at York.
