Recognition Notes

The Manticore Heavy Tank (XL) is a 60-ton tracked combat vehicle fought as a brawler, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed of 65. Its turret trades the base tank's PPC, LRM 10, and SRM 6 for an ER PPC, an Enhanced LRM 10, and a Streak SRM 6, while the Medium Laser stays on the front of the hull. The XL engine and Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor replace the original's Fusion plant and Standard plate, and the hull adds CASE and a targeting computer neither carried before. Defiance Industries builds the type at Hesperus II.
