Savannah Master II

==Description==
New generation of popular Lyran scout hover, Savannah Master II is faster,
better armed and armored, and at least two times more expensive than original.
Built with all new technoligies avialable, Savannah Master II still is small
and fast military-grade hovercraft, capable to rush on and around the
battlefield with respectable 280,8 km/h - speed more suitable for VTOLs than
for hovers. Only new 45 GM XL engine makes it possible.
1,5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor provides somewhat better protection -
although armor plates still are not the main protectors of Savannah Master.
==Armament==
Armament hasn't changed much. BlazeFire Longshot ER Medium Laser changed
venerable Defiance B3M Medium Laser. That gives some more possibilties for
choosing engaging distance for pilot.
Main disadvantage of Savannah Master II is it's relatively high price. It
costs two times more, than original vehicle and use some not-always-avialable
parts
==Variants==
*Ci - mounting Ci slave instead of ER medium laser, this version of Savannah
Master II can be a nasty surprise when calling a fire from all of it's C3
company. This variant of Savannah Master II is purely Kuritan field work, and
S.L. Lewis Incorporated is not responsible to any malfunctions caused by this
non-sanctioned refit
*RL - Some captured by Taurians Savannah Master II's were refitted with a pair of one-shot
Rocket Launcher-10's. Such variant can inflict heavy damage on the enemy - but
only once a battle. Seems like good idea for a recon vehicle to stop his
opponent for a while - just to dissapear from his line of sight
*TAG - popular in FedSuns RCTs, this variant of Savannah Master II is fast
artillery spotter hand-made in regimental workshops. S.L. Lewis Incorporated
cancels guarantee for vehicles refitted in such way
*Supercharger - An experimental variant with engine supercharger. Armament
reduced to a single ER small laser - but with maximum speed of more than 367
km/h nobody cares
==Deployment==
Savannah Master II is slowly finding it's place in recon lances of Davion,
Steiner and Kurita armored troops. S.L. Lewis Incorporated has no deep
interest in Savannah Master II production because old Savannah Master is still
a valuable good on Inner Sphere weapon market
