Recognition notes
The Sha Yu SYU-4B reworks the 40-ton chassis into a striker fighting close-in, where the SYU-2B fought as a sniper at long range. It cruises at 76 km/h and tops out near 119. In place of the twin ER Large Lasers, it carries a Medium Pulse Laser in the left arm and another in the right arm, and a third Medium Pulse Laser replaces the head-mounted TAG. An ER Medium Laser sits in the left torso and another in the right torso, where an LRM 5 also sits. A C3 slave unit joins the left torso, and the heat-sink count drops from 13 to 11 double. Hellespont 'Mech Works builds it at Sian.
