Recognition notes
The Lao Hu LHU-3L is a 75-ton skirmisher, a 3069 rework of the 3062 LHU-2B, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. In place of the ER Large Laser it carries a Plasma Rifle in the left arm, and where the base model mounts an LB 20-X AC in the right torso, this variant fields a Rotary AC/5 in the right arm. The LRM 15 in the left torso gives way to an LRM 10 in the same location, now paired with an Artemis IV fire-control system, and a targeting computer sits in the right torso. Shengli Arms builds the type at Victoria, with Ceres Metals Industries and field refit shops also turning it out.
