The Vapor Eagle, or Goshawk as it is called around here, is a super mobile 55 ton gun platform. It is fast, it jumps far, it has enough targeting computer assisted guns it makes every fight against them boring. It's a top tier contender for "best 55 ton 'mech", but sadly the Stormcrow already exists.

Correction for the "In the Inner Sphere" card: The Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere was Operation REVIVAL. KLONDIKE was the liberation of the Pentagon Worlds.
@@thunderK5 You are 100% right! I missed that one during editing. You deserve a coupon for a free repair on this.
@@ProfessorHeyTeeEn maybe a pulse to Xpulse conversion?
Greetings Professor HeyTeeEn.
Jason here from the Hellsport Mek Werks.
We recently got our hands on a Goshawk-Vapor Eagle. The Goshawk II, made in 3086 by the Clans. The Mech was pretty well disarmed by the Legion and sported only its ER Large Laser as the sole remaining weapon upon the Mech's chassis.
Since the Mech was built with Clan Endo-Steel, we added Clan Ferro-Fiberous armor. A total of 8 tons of it. The ECM, and all the smaller weapons were missing. And we added a 2nd ER Large Laser. During that phase of construction, we added a hand to the arm without out one, and made the resulting Mech symmetrical. Two Clan DSHS were added to the design to deal with the added heat burden.
It was a pleasant surprise to find that the Left Torso mounted Targeting Computer survived combat, and needed very little in the way of repair to get it functional again. Mostly it involved replacing melted fiber-optic control cables linking the computer to its weapons arrays and sensors.
The seven jump jets were all intact, so little needed to be done with them other than to ensure that they were functional and linked to the cockpit controls.
And that brings up the Cockpit itself. Which, had to be totally replaced, after the Gauss round that had passed through it. Most of the control panels, view-screens, and displays were intact. But the main view-screen and pilot's chair were total write-offs and had to be replaced. Damaged systems were repaired with Clan materials from other projects and did not seriously delay the reconstruction, since the entire head assembly was worked upon before being mounted to the chassis at a later phase of the build.
The Mech's Clan XL Engine was intact, although it did require minor repairs due to having been running when the cockpit was destroyed, forcing an emergency shutdown of the fusion core. No matter how advanced, a SCRAM of any fusion engine will do some damage to the system.
The resulting Mech was claimed by the Legion that had captured it, and designated as the Goshawk II GL-A. Tests performed at the proving grounds on Drax, Stygia III, proved that the Mech performed admirably with only the two ER Large Lasers. The seven jump jets worked without any further effort upon our part. The targeting computer functioned well, and the fusion engine stayed firmly within the green zone during testing.
Practically the only 'issue' with the entire design was that movement generated a heat burden to the Mech's systems. The 'standard' 1 or 2 'points' worth during walk-run movements, and 7 when utilizing the jump jets.
The solution for the problem made us go back and rework how things were installed into the Mech, because the solution called for an Inner Sphere XL Gyro to be installed. This filled the Center Torso 'slots' entirely, and the equipment that had been located there (one jump jet, and a fair amount of FFA) had to be relocated into the side torsos. But, replacing the Gyro allowed a weight saving that was put into a further two Clan DSHSs, one in each side torso. This resulted in the Mech having a total of 14 Clan DSHS, which only mitigates some of the heat generated by 210-meter leaps while firing both ER Large Lasers.
The pilot that claimed the Goshawk did not feel that the 'minor' spike of three 'points' of heat was a major detriment to the design. She happily ran the Mech through further testing and proclaimed that she just loved it. The last I saw of the Mech was spying one of my Techs painting a Terran Goshawk onto the right torso, along with the words 'Lady Hawk'.
If you come across any further Goshawks that are for sale, please contact the nearest Stygian Compact Trade Combine representative. Payment will be prompt in any currency you specify, or the equivalent in Rare Earth materials. Need more Germanium or Hafnium for your Laser cores?

Having fought one of these things as a proud son of the Inner Sphere, I hate them. Especially when they lose the LPL and immediately withdraw from the field. 😂
With the Snow Raven one, you have to remember that these people _love_ their AeroSpace Fighters. So a pair of Ultra AC/2s makes sense, because it lets you put a higher volume of fire into the air.
My favorite mech. Checks all my preferred boxes. Agile, good looking, accurate.
Always did like this mech a lot, I even like nearly all the variants the only real change I think it needs is to move all the stuff that can go boom into the left arm and torso.
Partial Wing ALL the mechs!
Cool , zippy
vapor eagle, the second line stormcrow
That is one sexy looking mech!
As a mechtech have you ever gotten a chance to work on Wolf's Dragoons' omnivehicles?
@@alecciarosewater7438 We have a whole other crew working on vehicles most of the time. I've been getting go know a few different ones, but not as well as I would want yet to go in depth about them.
@@ProfessorHeyTeeEn Could you ask them if they ever received a "new" Hetzer that wasn't?
While I, as a filthy clanner, refer to it as a "Vapor Eagle", I think you might want to check your pronunciation of "Goshawk".
Hey, none of the Hegemonic Corer and Clanners have corrected me yet. Gosh-hawk, but it is likely supposed to Gos-hawk?
the mark 6 exists so folk like yourself can shit on weapon systems they don't like. Muck like any other mech that uses a weapon system you don't like.
@@Cytl-bu3nq Thanks you for the comment, helping with the algorithm.
All I see is a phoenix hawk wannabe. A battlemech should be more then just a sculpt and a record sheet
