 ===Variant A===
 The Epona A is a mobile [[LRM]] platform allowing it to easily sit on a hill, fire a volley, and slip behind cover before an enemy barrage hits it. Two [[free tons]] for ammo allow this variant field longevity, provided the pilot is careful and maintains distance to the target. While equipped with the normal Epona speed, this variant especially must be careful that it doesn't flip as the smaller LRM box turret leaves it nearly impossible to right itself. As with all vehicle-mounted LRMs, the Epona A's LRMs arc upward rather than immediately and only forward like those models mounted on Clan mechs.

 ===Variant E===
-A long to extreme range variant, the E's main weapon is a [[HAG20]]. Four [[MG]] give it harassment potential against air units and enemy hovercraft, as well as [[BA]] repellent. The HAG is backed up by a [[LRM10]], providing harassment against anything in range. While it packs an [[free tons|additional ton of ammo]] bin space, it has to rely on it's speed if anything gets close.
+A versatile backcapper and lethal in wolfpacks, the E's four [[MG]]s and [[HLL]] allow it to stand off and skirmish when the situation calls for it while harassing air units and repelling [[BA]]. When the time is right, however, it can leap forward and devastate with volleys of 450m-range Clan [[SSRM]]s which require little aim and free the pilot to focus on evasive (or blocking) maneuvers. Two [[free tons]] for feeding the [[CDSSRM6]] pack allow it to roam far and wide.

 The Epona C sports a single [[CLBX10]] and [[Extended Range Lasers|CERMBL]], both with max ranges of 700m. This variant is a solid middle-range asset with reasonable anti-air capabilities. The CLBX10 and its high speed are useful in this regard. The [[EOptics|Enhanced Optics]] for zeroing in on your prey along with one [[Free tons|Free Ton]] of ammo for the CLBX10 helps to make it a formidable foe on the battlefield.
-===Variant D===
+===Variant D - ''"Horse-Fly"''===
-The Epona D is an agile fire-support asset with medium- to long-[[range]] capabilities. Pilots are advised to keep the Epona D at a range of 120-750m. Ideally around 600-700m. In [[brawler|brawling]] range, the Epona D is only able to fire its single [[cLPL]] because the D's pair of [[Advanced Tactical Missiles|ATM6 (Std)]] have a [[minimum range]]. Thanks to the D's hover chassis and stealthy electronics in the form of [[GECM]], it can easily crest a hill or mountain, [[lock on]], fire its ATMs, probably get two shots off with its LPL, and fade before receiving much return fire.

	The Epona features extreme mobility, even more so then the other [[Hovercraft]], and relatively good armor for a vehicle of its size, giving a good pilot immense staying power. All variants have a high damage output, usually consisting of many small sized weapons combined. As the name "pursuit tank" suggests, it is near impossible to flee from an Epona that is set to destroy a wounded target. By the same token, this unit can easily flee a target if the battle seems to be turning south in favor of the enemy being attacked. Care must be taken when driving over uneven hilly ground to ensure that the craft stay upright. Unlike the [[Hephaestus\|Hephaestus]], its turret is largely compact, without any of the weapons sticking significantly far enough out of it to provide a good tool for flipping oneself upright.

 ===Variant G===
-The G main armarment is the powerful [[CUAC10|Clan Ultra Cannon 10]] that can not only pound holes but inflict both high burst damage and has a impressive DPS. The Four [[HMG|Heavy machine Guns]] can whittle away armor at a alarming rate but only within close proximity of your target. [[GECM]] and the Epona's speed should make it easy to dart in, do your damage and flee to safety, only to repeat again and again.

 Make sure to fill the [[Free ton|2 tons]] of storage with extra ammunition to feed the hungry UAC10; while the Epona is fast and nimble, its speed is wasted having to return base to buy forgotten ammo. The G is the least expensive unit.

-The Epona F is a in your face, short ranged, powerful machine, that can really bring on the hurt. It's speed, [[GECM]] and [[EOptics]] see to that. Four [[CSPL]] and One [[ATM12 | ATM12(HE)]] give it precision and substantial firepower to anything that gets in it's way. Remember after 9 salvos your missiles run dry. Working in a Lance or Back Capping is idea for this unit.
