Recognition notes
The Vulture Mk III (Mad Dog Mk III) BLO is a 60-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the Prime configuration mounts an ER Medium Laser in each arm, the BLO carries an ER Medium Laser and an ER Small Laser in the left arm and swaps the right arm's ER Medium Laser for a Light PPC. In place of the Prime's paired LRM 20 racks, this configuration fields an LRM 15 in each torso, and it runs 15 Clan double heat sinks against the Prime's 12. Its Clan endo steel frame and Clan ferro-fibrous armor sit on a mixed Inner Sphere and Clan technical base, and it holds the same stable firing platform stance as the Prime. Field refits produce it at various sites rather than a single dedicated line.
