================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Ballista BAL-2 was created due to the expense of maintaining the Arrow IV system on the
    BAL-1. Still capable of providing fire support, it leaves the artillery role and enters life
    as a long range missile platform.

Capabilities:
    Mounting 4 15 tube LRM systems with 2 tons of ammunition apiece, which is normally
    semi-guided in order to take advantage of TAG systems mounted on other units, the BAL-2 is a
    fire support pilots dream come true. It also mounts a Guardian ECM, 4 Medium Pulse Lasers,
    and 2 ER Medium Lasers to provide it with close in protection and a little electronic
    interference. Mounting 19 tons of standard armor means that the BAL-2 has a very tough hide,
    thus making sure the pilot lives to fight another day.

Deployment:
    Unlike the BAL-1 which is only deployed with the Genyosha and Sword of Light, the BAL-2 is
    deployed in many DCMS line regiments.
