Recognition notes
The Hoplite HOP-4B is a 55-ton medium built for sniping at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the HOP-4A carried an LRM 5 in the left torso and an AC/10 in the right torso, the HOP-4B replaces both with an LRM 15 in the left arm and a PPC in the right arm. The redesign departs from the HOP-4A's armless configuration, giving the type minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands. Both variants share the same 220 fusion engine, standard armor, and 16 single heat sinks. Martinson Armaments builds the HOP-4B at Terra.
