The Sparrowhawk is an Inner Sphere scout Aerospace. It is the cheapest of the aerospace fighters, and the fastest unit available in MWLL. It is mostly deployed as a highly maneuverable dog-fighter for destroying or suppressing larger aircraft such as the Shiva, though some variants allow for anti-ground roles as well. However, it has almost negligible armour, relying on its maneuverability to avoid being quickly destroyed by enemy Anti-Air vehicles and aircraft.

Roles and Gameplay Hints

Prime

The Sparrowhawk Prime is among the cheapest Sparrowhawk available, best used as an interceptor against larger enemy aircraft. Using 2 LBX5s as well as 2 ERSBLs, the Prime can whittle away at the tail of enemy bombers whilst using its unmatched agility to stay out of danger. However, due to its focus on damage-over-time, the Prime is not effective at actually destroying any aircraft, and acts more as a deterrent, forcing enemy aerospace to break off attack runs and return to friendlier skies.

Variant A - "The Tickler"

"The Tickler" mounts a bizarre array of weaponry, best suited to hunting down VTOLs. it mounts 2 Thunderbolts, which can cause decent damage to slow-moving or hovering VTOLs. It also mounts UAC2 and 2 MGs, which can provide great damage over time to air units. The A is also equipped with BAP, allowing it to spot targets easier.

Variant B - "M5"

Nicknamed "M5", the Sparrowhawk B sports 2 ERSBLs and single MXPL for defence. iNARC and BHP being its only redeeming factor, for homing of friendly missiles or laser guided bombs and looking for powered-down APCs. It also does things like flying and shooting things.

Variant C

More suited in a anti-ground role, this model features 2 ERSBLs, 2 MBLs and 2 MRM10s. More suited for short strafing runs on slow mechs, also thanks to its High Explosive bomb

Variant D

Carrying 2 MPL for protection is rather weak, thats why this one specialises in anti ground work. Twin LRM10, Laser guided Bomb all supported and delivered by NARC will make this a pain in the back alley for anyone who wants to have fun on the ground, untill you piss everyone off and they will ruin your fun by getting more AA capable assets.

Variant E

Carrying 4 SPL, 2 SSRM4s and 2 SSRM2, this variant can do things, and can do them within its capable capabilities. It also have Cluster bomb so theres that.

Variant F

Basically, a flying poptarter, Using its Light Gauss and ERPPCto do the thing. You have Laser guided Bomb you can't guide yourself and single free ton. Just make everyone a favor and avoid this

Variant G

Bomber with duo of LPLs and High Explosive bomb with 3 free tons. You have maneuverability of heavy bomber and everyone hates you.

History

The SparrowHawk 3D model was available in Sandbox 2 with the first release of MWLL, though it lacked textures and was unplayable. It was added to the mod for play in version 0.3.0 with an entirely new model.

Canon

The Sparrowhawk was designed as a fighter escort for larger attack craft, such as bombers and dropships, and is a perfect first-response craft. Primarily found in the military of House Davion, it is armed entirely with laser weaponry (two Medium and two Small lasers), though a rarely seen and unpopular variant swaps most of the lasers for a two-pack of short ranged missiles. It also features a unique system that allows the pilot to jettison any damaged armor plating that would interfere with atmospheric re-entry. Later variants incorporating rediscovered technology upgraded the medium lasers to pulse versions, and replaced the small lasers with extended range medium lasers.

Date Introduced 2520 during the Era known as "Age of War" (2005 - 2570) - Unit Role: Interceptor
