Recognition notes
The LHU-3B is a 75-ton heavy that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86, unchanged from the 3062 LHU-2B it derives from. Where the LHU-2B carries an LB 20-X AC in the right torso, this variant mounts a lighter LB 10-X AC in the right arm, and its LRM 10 in the left torso fires a smaller payload than the LHU-2B's LRM 15. An Artemis IV fire-control system in the left torso sharpens that missile rack, and a C3 master computer occupies the right torso, linking the design into a networked lance. The ER Large Laser in the left arm carries over from the LHU-2B unchanged. Shengli Arms builds the type at Victoria, with additional production at Ceres Metals Industries' Sian works.
