Recognition notes
The Crossbow C is a 65-ton heavy that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the Prime configuration mounts an LRM 20 in each arm, this configuration carries an ATM 6 in the left arm and another in the right arm, and it adds a Heavy Machine Gun in each torso for close-in work the Prime lacks. The engine, structure, and armor carry over unchanged from the Prime configuration. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with Arcturan Arms also producing the type.
