================================================================================================
Overview:
    Beginning life as an upgraded Rifleman, eventually the changes became significant enough to
    warrant a new name and designation: the Wichita. Named after an ancient ship famous for
    anti-aircraft work, this mech is a fearsome opponent to any opposing aerial combatant.

Capabilities:
    The mech is built around the famous Garret D2j tracking and targeting system, which in turn
    guides the expanded armament of the Wichita. Each arm supports an LB-5X autocanon, a Light
    PPC, and a Clan-Tech ER Medium Laser, providing for an impressive volume of fire. Two ER
    Small Lasers provide short range protection, one each front and rear in the Center Torso.
    Fourteen double heat sinks allow the Wichita to fire its entire weapon complement and
    maneuver without heat buildup. Two tons of LB-5X ammunition is protected by CASE II in each
    side torso, allowing the Wichita to maintain fire for extended periods of time before
    re-arming. Eleven and a half tons of standard armor provide ample protection for this mech,
    fifty percent more than what the classic Rifleman carried. Mobility is provided by a
    standard 320 fusion engine, propelling the mech to 65 kilometers per hour.
    
    Finally, every major complaint about the Rifleman has been addressed; heat, ammunition
    supply, and armor protection, while extending the reach of the original.
