Recognition notes
The Hammerhands HMH-5D is a 75-ton heavy that fights at medium range, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54, slow for its weight class. Where the HMH-3D was built as a juggernaut with a Medium Laser in each arm and an SRM 6 in the right torso, the HMH-5D drops that SRM 6 and swaps in an ER Medium Laser in the left arm and another in the right, keeping the AC/10 pair in each arm. Ferro-fibrous armor replaces the standard plating of the HMH-3D, jump range grows from 90 to 150 metres, and the heat-sink fit shifts from 13 single sinks to 10 double sinks. A C3 slave unit sits in the head. Achernar Battlemechs builds the type at New Avalon.
