Recognition notes
The Thunderbolt IIC is a 70-ton brawler built to fight close in, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Its main punch comes from a pair of Improved Heavy Large Lasers, one in each arm, backed by three ER Medium Lasers clustered in the left torso. A Streak LRM 15 sits in the right torso alongside a CASE II installation, and the 350 XL fusion engine runs behind standard armor and standard internal structure. It is known as a maintenance-intensive design, and Olivetti Weaponry builds it at Sudeten.
