Recognition notes
The Mangonel MNL-3W is a 70-ton skirmisher fighting at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the MNL-3L relies on a 350 light fusion engine, this variant runs a 350 XL fusion engine at the same speed, and its heat-sink count rises from 10 to 12 double sinks. In place of the pair of Light Gauss Rifles clustered in the right torso, the MNL-3W splits a single Gauss Rifle into each torso, one left and one right, and adds an ECM suite in the center torso. The four ER medium lasers across both arms carry over from the MNL-3L, along with the minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and the type's reputation as a maintenance-intensive design. Arc-Royal MechWorks builds it at Arc-Royal.
