================================================================================================
Overview:
    The JA-KL-1533 Jackal is a modification of the standard JA-KL-1532. This modification has
    been applied to almost every Jackal serving in the AFFS. In exchange for the AMS system, the
    Jackal gains an increase in firepower, while the armor has been upgraded to make up for the
    loss. The 1533 also carries less ammunition, which reduces the likelihood of its destruction
    by an ammo explosion.

Capabilities:
    The most noticeable change in the 1533 Jackal is the change in armor; each machine has its
    armor completely removed, and is then re-armored with the lighter Ferro Fibrous armor. This
    provides a notable increase in armor for the same tonnage. The anti-missile system has been
    removed to increase the Jackal's firepower - instead of the Streak SRM 2, the 1533 mounts a
    much more powerful Streak SRM 4 in its left arm. In addition to the armor, the Jackal's heat
    sinks have been upgraded to doubles, and the superfluous heat sinks have been removed. This
    tonnage was used to add an ER medium laser, providing a mid-range energy weapon which lets
    the Jackal attack while still cooling down from an alpha strike, or from a period of
    movement and mixed PPC and laser fire.

Deployment:
    1533 Jackals are scattered throughout the AFFS' front line units. They are especially
    concentrated in the Davion Light Guards and the Deneb Light Cavalry.
