Overview:
Possibly the best-kept secret of the Storm Phoenix Combine, the sleek and
menacing Blitz was the first Storm Phoenix mech to make use of the XL gyro.
It remains as yet untested in combat, but the first enemy force to see
its capabilities will get a nasty surprise.
Capabilities:
The Blitz is fast for its weight, with a top speed well over 100 kph.
While it does not have jump capability its superior ground manueverability
can shake most foes. What it can't outrun (and much of what it can)
it can outgun, as it is equipped with a devestating close-range arsenal.
The left torso mounts a trio of small SRM packs and ample ammunition, while
the right carries six medium pulse lasers for devestatingly accurate fire.
The lasers and missiles are arranged in hexagonal mounts which are roughly
identical. A favorite tactic of Blitz pilots during the Mech's simulator
runs is to hold off on firing the lasers until their first missile salvo,
and surprising the enemy pilots who assumed they were facing a Mech armed
with only a few SRMs.
The Blitz tends to run hot, and pilots are warned not to sustain fire with
all of the Mech's weaponry for very long.
Deployment:
The Blitz can be constructed in a surprisingly short amount of time, so
quite a few already exist. Most are deployed mostly in the Avenge Sweeper
Regiment, but several have found their way into the Shadow Striker and
Shock Vortex Regiments as well. Ironically, the Blitz Hawks Regiment
possesses only one of these Mechs.
