 ===Variant C - ''"Extended Warranty"''===
-{{Fluff}}
+Much like scammers persistently calling you about a supposed 'extended warranty', this variant has the potential to be very annoying and hard to squash. The former comes from its [[ELRM|extended LRM]] array, with its far-reaching 1500m of range and ability to be chain-fired in such a way as to create non-stop [[screenshake]]. The latter comes from its [[GECM]] suite which allow it to more safely stay in active radar and avoid detection. Its [[BAP]] cuts down missile lock acquisition time and provides some scouting utility.

 ===Variant A===
-One of the two variants that can be afforded with the 59,000 [[C-Bills]] granted when spawning in at Sergeant/Point 1 rank. The A trades away a lot of maximum theoretical lethality in favor of versatility and ease of use. This variant packs 'only' 24 [[SSRM]]s which have significant spread, making it difficult to drill specific components. In exchange they are capable of locking on and can be flicked around obstacles. The [[NARC]] launcher can be employed to enable this tactic, alongside the more prosaic use of marking targets for the team's long-range missiles.

	The '''JES-I Tactical Missile Carrier (T.M.C.)''' is an [[Inner Sphere]] medium [[hovercraft]]. The JES-I is an odd duck in MWLL's flock, with only slightly more armor tonnage than a [[Harasser]] and with extremely poor speed for a hovercraft due to its tiny engine. Woe betide any pilot naïve enough to underestimate it! All that extra tonnage has gone to mounting absurd amounts of [[missile]] weaponry that give it an overwhelming punch.

-The boatiest [[SRM]] [[boat]] that ever boated, 36 of them mean that you can drill through the side torso of a [[Daishi]] in four salvos while dealing significant AOE damage to other components. The two [[SBL]]s provide a tiny bit more DPS as well as mostly theoretical defense against BA given the unusual movement scheme. Because the [[SRM]]s are spread across so many launchers the ammo capacity is quite good (698 missiles total) so the Prime is able to stay on the battlefield longer than otherwise expected. Chain-firing the missiles can be useful to maximize shake, when at range, or when shooting a fast mover. This variant above all others is why every JES needs to be approached with caution until its variant is ascertained. Employ ambush tactics as much as possible, rather than trying to chase down targets with your laughable 'top' speed.
