 ===Variant F - ''"Figgis"''===
-Figgis is only Novacat variant to use long range missiles. Pilots should enable chain fire for both weapon groups and keep their prey at long range under constant barrage from its four [[LRM5|cLRM5s]], while blasting them with its two [[ERPPC]]s. Remember that cLRMs travel in straight lines and have a reduced minimum range of 10m. The screen shake caused by all of the F's weapons can easily throw off any long range sniper's shots. This variant is also quite cool-running with 12 [[DHS]]. A [[B-Pod]] helps with [[Battle Armor]] ambushes.
+The '''''"Figgis"''''' is the cheapest Novacat variant, and the only one to use long range missiles.

-Mixing twin [[cERPPC|clan extended range PPCs]] with triple [[cLBX5]]s may seem strange to some till they note the identical 900m range for both energy and ballistic weapons.  The Novacat G still fulfills its roll as a multi-role sniper which excels in screenshake and eats away at tank's and ASF's armor with its LBXs.  Strict heat management by chain firing the [[cERPPC]]s is absolutely required while staying at long range to maximize this variants potential.

 ===Variant B===
-{{fluff}}
+Perhaps the most extraordinary Novacat variant, this configuration utilizes [[MASC]] to dart relatively quickly in and out of engagements against slower opponents. The Novacat B cuts down on firepower and range by mounting only 2 [[CLPL|Large Pulse Lasers]]. The Novacat B rarely has heat issues due to both the reduced heat generated by [[CLPL|Large Pulse Lasers]] and 9 Double Heatsinks; this makes the B variant much better for hot maps like [[Maps#Inferno|Inferno]] and day-time maps like [[Maps#Extremity|Extremity]] than other energy-heavy units. This Cat preferred tactic is to keep its distance from enemies while unloading a full burst with it's HAG30 backed by 2 [[free tons]].

 ===Variant B===
 Perhaps the most extraordinary Novacat variant, this configuration utilizes [[MASC]] to dart relatively quickly in and out of engagements against slower opponents while under the cover of [[GECM]]. The Novacat B cuts down on firepower and range by mounting only 3 [[CLPL|Large Pulse Lasers]]. The Novacat B rarely has heat issues due to both the reduced heat generated by [[CLPL|Large Pulse Lasers]] and the reduced number of total weapons; this makes the B variant much better for hot maps like [[Maps#Inferno|Inferno]] and day-time maps like [[Maps#Extremity|Extremity]] than other energy-heavy units. The Novacat B's preferred tactic is to keep its distance from enemies at all times and only closing in on already crippled enemies to bring its close range [[CDSSRM4]] into play.
