--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Elemental was designed as a 'Mech able to function effectively in
any terrain. It is thickly armored, carried a variety of weapons, and
is jump capable. Unfortunately, it is also fairly slow, and not very
effective. The 20 heat sinks can easily leave the 'Mech overheating -
except in the one place an Elemental stands out. Being moderately
effective everywhere, it is best where other 'Mechs lose effectiveness,
such as 6m-12m deep water.
In such shallow waters, an ELE-2L Elemental can dissipate more heat.
It also brings the LRT racks into play for clearing opponents out of
the water, with the rear mediums also able to cut the legs from other
water opponents. The remaining ordinance is still fully able to deal
with surface and shore opponents.
Unfortunately, such situations are rarely predictable, and do not come
up often. The Elemental, being outclassed by most other designs in most
situations, was relegated to reserve duties, typically guarding water
installations, bridges, etc. An upgrade to Star League technology has
given the Elemental more speed and heat dissipation ability, and may lead
to increased production and use of this 'Mech.

Variants: The LRM and LRT racks are modualar, and are usually swapped
to be all LRMs for desert duty, or all LRTs for deep water fighting.
