Overview:
The Phoenix Hawk, one of the most common designs in the Inner Sphere, was an early candidate
for recovered technology, with new models in full production at no less than five factories.
The Free Worlds League model, PXH-3M, produced by Earthwerks Incorporated at Keystone,
takes advantage of the lightweight XL engine and Endo Steel internal structure to upgrade
its weaponry. Two extended-range large lasers replace the single normal-range large laser,
the two medium lasers now incorporate pulse technology, and an anti-missile system replaces
one of the two machine guns. Furthermore, Cellular ammunition Storage Equipment protects
the ammunition from internal explosion.
The PXH-3D model, produced by Archenar BattleMechs on New Avalon, is similar to the FWL
'Mech. It lacks the CASE and the machine gun, replacing them with two heat sinks. It has
much better ability to dissipate heat because all its heat sinks are double-strength.
Coventry Metal Works produces the PXH-3S model, which has a single Thunderbolt-12 Large
Pulse Laser in the right arm instead of the extended-range laser in each arm. It also
sticks with the regular medium lasers. Lexington Ltd. High Grade Ferro-Fibrous Armor
improves its protection, mostly on the arms and legs. Its main distinction is its Myomer
Acceleration Signal Circuitry, allowing a burst of speed to surprise an enemy or helping the
'Mech escape when defeat seems imminent.
Finally, Alshain Weapons on Jarett and the Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises
plant on Satalice are gearing up to produce the PXH-3K version for the Draconis Combine and
Free Rasalhague Republic. This version will employ New Samarkand Royal Ferro-Fibrous Armor,
but not Endo Steel construction. It will also have twelve double heat sinks. Eliminating
the anti-missile system and machine gun also precludes the need for CASE.

Using FF instead of ES isn´t a good idea but now it has some serious armor and hasn´t to worry about ammo. Still you have to be careful not to overtax the heatsink too much.

Even more deadly than 3D and lacking some of it's faults. Almost too perfect, use carefully or it will push many machines out of use.
Good 'Mech to teach newbs how to handle the heat and how to move.

Well, at least the Draconis people remembered to put jump jets on this one.
Nice 'mech. I've seen it do lots of damage.

The best of the 3050 Phoenix Hawk upgrades.
Gives better than it gets every battle, although its not quite the medium death god it used to be. But 3050 does that to most designs so no real fault on it.
Not too happy with all the weapons stacked in the arms but I'll live.

A formidable foe the ER large lasers have good reach and the medium pulse lasers can be a pain at close range. The strong armour makes it a tough nut to crack.
