Recognition Notes
The Crossbow F is a 65-ton heavy that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86. Where the Crossbow Prime mounts an LRM 20 with an Artemis IV fire-control system in each arm, this configuration carries an ATM 9 and an ER medium laser in the left arm, and the same pairing in the right arm. The added ER medium lasers give it a close-in punch the Prime's pure missile loadout lacks, without any change to its engine or armor. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with production also at Arcturan Arms's Arcturus line.
