The '''Chevalier''' is an [[Inner Sphere]] tank introduced with MWLL 0.6.0. It is notable because it is the first non-hover light tank, as well as the first wheeled tank.<br>
 
The '''Chevalier''' is an [[Inner Sphere]] tank introduced with MWLL 0.6.0. It is notable because it is the first non-hover light tank, as well as the first wheeled tank.<br>
−
It is very nimble and mounts good armor for such a light vehicle. It is only lightly armed, having only slightly better weapons then the [[Harasser]] hovercraft, but it makes up for it by mounting a [[BHP]] as well as a [[C3]] on every variant, giving it immense scouting capabilities.
+
The Chevalier is very well armored for its speed, though its firepower is light to moderate; sitting somewhere between a [[Harasser]] and an [[Osiris]].
  
−
Note that it is not able to turn on it's own axis like other tracked or hover vehicles due to it's wheeled nature.
+
As it is a wheeled vehicle, it cannot turn on its own axis like a treaded or hover tank. The Chevalier becomes more agile the faster it is moving, so pilots should always be lead-footed in combat.

===Prime===
 
===Prime===
−
 
+
The Chevalier Prime is an effective multi-ranged asset, continually doing pinpoint damage to opponents with its [[LXPL|large X-pulse laser]] at medium range. The fast firing [[SSRM6]] does well at closer ranges, delivering screenshake to disrupt enemy's aim. The prime is one of the most armored Chevies, being able to win duels against most light mechs as long as the driver keeps the speed up and presents the non-damaged side to his opponent.
−
A fast and cheap all-around unit, the Chevalier prime can punch holes with the PPC and then exploit them with the SRM-4 launcher. A good ECM suit helps increase survivability.
 
  
 
===Variant A===
 
===Variant A===
−
 
+
This is a rather powerful support unit for its price tag, bringing an [[AECM|Angel ECM]] suite onto the field to provide radar cover to it's teammates. It's main weapon is a [[PPC]], best used to find holes in already weakened enemy armor. Once the [[AECM]] has been use to spring the trap, it has 3 [[SXPL|Small X-Pulse lasers]] it can bring to bear as well. Sustained use of both the [[PPC]] and [[SXPL]] will put significant strain on its mere 3 [[HS|heat sinks]].
−
This is a rather powerful fire-support unit for its price tag. The Light Gauss has extreme range and excels as a sniper weapon on the right hands. The LRM-5 dishes additional damage. The Bloodhound Active Probe helps in finding both threats and targets.
 
  
 
===Variant B===
 
===Variant B===
−
 
+
Built from the ground up as a dedicated scout vehicle calling in friendly missile storms on the opposing team with its [[TAG]], the B variant excels in this roll. [[GECM]] keeps it hidden while [[BHP]] and [[C3]] gives it and any friendly unit detailed tactical information of enemy positions and movements. Its long range weapons - a single [[ERLL|ER Large Laser]] and two [[AC2|Class 2 AutoCannons]] - can harass targets as well, but the most effective use of the B is careful positioning on the battlefield to assist your team in wreaking coordinated havoc on the enemy.
−
A prime scout variant. The LBX and the Small Beam Lasers provide impressive short-range defense for such a light asset, and the TAG marks targets for allied units. The Bloodhound Probe is ideal to find hidden threats and the Advanced ECM suite helps avoiding enemy lock-ons.
 
  
 
===Variant C===
 
===Variant C===
−
A powerful, speedy skirmisher capable of both infliction heavy damage and, using cover, taking a small beating. The greatest advantage of the Chevy C is it's speed, hitting power, and range, which it can use to effectively kite short-range opponents. As it could be assumed, the Chevalier C is a very good money maker, dishing out large amounts of damage while having very low upkeep costs. However, as with all Chevaliers, the C has a relatively low amount of armor and care must be used when closing the distance. Especially because the Chevalier C has such eclectic lead times.
+
A long range support unit, the C excels at harassing heavier foes with it's [[LXPL|Large X Pulse laser]] and [[UAC5]]. Two [[HS|heat sinks]] allow for nearly a minute of uninterrupted fire from the [[LXPL]], and it's [[Free_tons|spare ton]] for the autocannon give it plenty of time in combat. While it is the least expensive variant, using it against agile fast assets is questionable as both the LXPL and UAC5 both take time to apply their damage.
  
 
===Variant D===
 
===Variant D===
−
The "Chevaleer,"while good on paper, is a comparatively lackluster variant. Low overall DPS, degraded further by the Chevalier's stiff suspension, along with less than adequate heat dispersion, make this variant the 'runt of the litter'.
+
An ultra-long range harasser with [[EOptics]], the Chevalier D will out-range most opponents on the battlefield with it's [[LtGauss]] and do it comfortably while under the radar cover of [[GECM]]. The [[MRM10]] can dump a solid volley out to a maximum of 650 meters if aimed precisely as they are wire guided. The D comes with One [[Free tons | Free ton]] of ammo so load up before you head out.
  
 
===Variant E===
 
===Variant E===
−
While the Variant E mounts the generally looked-down upon [[AC10]], it is held in high regard by many players. Some even consider the Chevalier E to be the best Chevalier, despite it being the cheapest; The AC10 does a surprising amount of damage when held on target, and the 3 SPLs are capable of inflicting grievous damage on top of that, and are especially good for cutting off arms. The Chevalier E has a pretty low damage output against light mechs and some mediums due to the hit-detection problems of the AC10, however, it is not an uncommon sight to see a Chevalier E murder a careless assault with little or no assistance. The 'E' variant is a mech-slayer.
+
A potent early game brawler, the E can punch units out to 600 meters using it's [[AC10]]. Once it closes to within 250 meters, the 3 [[SPL|Small Pulse lasers]] provide additional pinpoint firepower to put holes in enemy armor. While it does not have additional heatsinks, it does carry a [[Free_tons|spare ton]] for autocannon ammo for combat longevity. [[GECM]] helps it get into range to use the [[SPL]].
 +
 
 +
===Variant F===
 +
Another potent short range unit, the F trades the AC10 for an [[LBX10]]. It sheds a half ton of armor, and the ECM suite to mount an [[SRM6]] for even more close range firepower. That being said, it only has a single [[Free_tons|spare ton]] for reloads. Pilots who prepare for the wrong kind of combat will find themselves retreating with low LBX or SRM bins.
 +
 
 +
===Variant G===
 +
Another long range harasser, the G variant does respectable direct fire damage to its enemies over 1300m away with its triple [[LBX2]]s. Once within 900m, the [[ERPPC]] brings in a significant damage boost that any enemy would be foolish to ignore. This variant's weapons do not have any minimum range, so it could deal with opponents at any range. Yet, why give your prey the chance to effectively retaliate? Just keep it at long range and laugh while you smash their armor to pieces.

The Chevalier Light Tank was produced by and for the Star League. The Succession Wars devastated the stores of the Chevalier as the Successor States often cannibalized them for parts. Only Millennium Industries of Terra continued to produce the design, and that was snapped up by ComStar. Though the top speed is only 112 km/h, it is still respectable for a wheeled vehicle.

The Chevalier Light Tank was produced by and for the Star League. The Succession Wars devastated the stores of the Chevalier as the Successor States often cannibalized them for parts. Only Millennium Industries of Terra continued to produce the design, and that was snapped up by ComStar. Though the top speed is only 97 km/h, it is still respectable for a wheeled vehicle. It is protected by six and a half tons of armor.

The Chevalier is an Inner Sphere tank introduced with MWLL 0.6.0. It is notable because it is the first non-hover light tank, as well as the first wheeled tank.
The Chevalier is very well armored for its speed, though its firepower is light to moderate; sitting somewhere between a Harasser and an Osiris.

As it is a wheeled vehicle, it cannot turn on its own axis like a treaded or hover tank. The Chevalier becomes more agile the faster it is moving, so pilots should always be lead-footed in combat.

Roles and Gameplay hints

Prime

The Chevalier Prime is an effective multi-ranged asset, continually doing pinpoint damage to opponents with its large X-pulse laser at medium range. The fast firing SSRM6 does well at closer ranges, delivering screenshake to disrupt enemy's aim. The prime is one of the most armored Chevies, being able to win duels against most light mechs as long as the driver keeps the speed up and presents the non-damaged side to his opponent.

Variant A

This is a rather powerful support unit for its price tag, bringing an Angel ECM suite onto the field to provide radar cover to it's teammates. It's main weapon is a PPC, best used to find holes in already weakened enemy armor. Once the AECM has been use to spring the trap, it has 3 Small X-Pulse lasers it can bring to bear as well. Sustained use of both the PPC and SXPL will put significant strain on its mere 3 heat sinks.

Variant B

Built from the ground up as a dedicated scout vehicle calling in friendly missile storms on the opposing team with its TAG, the B variant excels in this roll. GECM keeps it hidden while BHP and C3 gives it and any friendly unit detailed tactical information of enemy positions and movements. Its long range weapons - a single ER Large Laser and two Class 2 AutoCannons - can harass targets as well, but the most effective use of the B is careful positioning on the battlefield to assist your team in wreaking coordinated havoc on the enemy.

Variant C

A long range support unit, the C excels at harassing heavier foes with it's Large X Pulse laser and UAC5. Two heat sinks allow for nearly a minute of uninterrupted fire from the LXPL, and it's spare ton for the autocannon give it plenty of time in combat. While it is the least expensive variant, using it against agile fast assets is questionable as both the LXPL and UAC5 both take time to apply their damage.

Variant D

An ultra-long range harasser with EOptics, the Chevalier D will out-range most opponents on the battlefield with it's LtGauss and do it comfortably while under the radar cover of GECM. The MRM10 can dump a solid volley out to a maximum of 650 meters if aimed precisely as they are wire guided. The D comes with One Free ton of ammo so load up before you head out.

Variant E

A potent early game brawler, the E can punch units out to 600 meters using it's AC10. Once it closes to within 250 meters, the 3 Small Pulse lasers provide additional pinpoint firepower to put holes in enemy armor. While it does not have additional heatsinks, it does carry a spare ton for autocannon ammo for combat longevity. GECM helps it get into range to use the SPL.

Variant F

Another potent short range unit, the F trades the AC10 for an LBX10. It sheds a half ton of armor, and the ECM suite to mount an SRM6 for even more close range firepower. That being said, it only has a single spare ton for reloads. Pilots who prepare for the wrong kind of combat will find themselves retreating with low LBX or SRM bins.

Variant G

Another long range harasser, the G variant does respectable direct fire damage to its enemies over 1300m away with its triple LBX2s. Once within 900m, the ERPPC brings in a significant damage boost that any enemy would be foolish to ignore. This variant's weapons do not have any minimum range, so it could deal with opponents at any range. Yet, why give your prey the chance to effectively retaliate? Just keep it at long range and laugh while you smash their armor to pieces.
