================================================================================================
Overview:
The Hunchback variant generally referred to as HBK-6P was created by techs from the
Fifteenth Deneb Light Cavalry during the FedCom Civil War, late in the Tikonov campaign. The
need to censerve heavy autocannon ammo for heavier 'Mechs resulted in the decision to
replace the AC's of several Hunchbacks with energy weapons. Techs originally intended to
mount a pair of ER PPCs in each, but the need to save replacement ER PPCs for newer machines
resulted in the use of standard ones.
Capabilities:
With PPCs as its primary armament, the HBK-6P has twice the range of a normal Hunchback,
while maintaining equal damage potential. A pair of medium lasers provide increased
firepower at closer ranges, and allow the Hunchback to defend itself if an enemy gets within
the minimum range of its PPCs. A Guardian ECM Suite provides the HBK-6P with protection from
more advanced targeting systems, and from scout 'Mechs equipped with Beagle Active Probes.
Jump jets mounted in the 'Mech's legs increase its a mobility, and, in most situations,
allow the Hunchback to keep enemies outside the minimum range of its PPCs. Fourteen double
heat sinks allow the HBK-6P to fire its weapons without fear of overheating.
Deployment:
Of eight Hunchbacks modified to the HBK-6P standard, only three were functional when the
Fifteenth Deneb evacuated Tikonov. All three were destroyed in the subsequent fighting on
Marlette, not long before the Fifteenth surrendered to their combined enemies - the Third
and Fifth Crucis Lancers, Twentieth Avalon Hussars, and the Blackwind Lancers. While no
plans currently exist in the AFFS to produce HBK-6Ps, the design specifications have been
sent to most planetary and March Militias, in case they wish to make similar modifications.

Interesting swayback. It keeps the basic durability and adds the PPCs to deal some medium range damage. Good to surprise the enemy, but for 3066 its just slightly above average.

Its a nice solid refit. Its a Swayback with some nice potential.
However with only standard PPCs in it, its still a short range burden.
However, the twinned PPCs are far better range than the AC 20 it used to field so its better.
Course now your blind spot is at 0-90 meters rather than everything past 300 meters.
