Best Daishi variant. This machine can hurt you at any range and has enough armor to shrug off a lot of damage.
This was the personal ride of Natasha Kerensky, but that does not mean you need an elite pilot to take full advantage of this mech's arsenal.
I would argue that this variant is even better than the vaunted Masakari C because if you stay at range you die and if you close the Daishi Widowmaker has an AC/20 Ultra to ruin your day.

This design is a great one, however it does annoy me sometimes. Supposedly Natasha Kerensky was the only one to pilot this configuration, and thats why its named as it is. Yet, everyone who plays Clanner units wants to drive this config. I disallow it in my campaigns because of the fluff. But for pick up battles, sure, any time. ;)

There is a reason why the Hauptmann OB bears the primary same load out as this one. Dual ERPPCs and a UAC-20 ! You can't really go wrong with that.
But just remember that NK died in this one so it isn't the end all be all mech. Ammo is a touch light and I will gladly lose a ER medium for 1 more ton of ammo.

It has great firepower, both at range and up close, but no more than the Warhawk C. It's also slower, has no targeting computer, and no crit-seeking weapons- it relies on pure overall damage to bring down opponents. That works well, but this mech is far from invincible.
As an aside, any mech can be defeated by any other mech, with skill and a little (or a lot of) luck. I've seen a Daishi topple in the very first round of combat from a lucky PPC shot. Slow mechs are always vulnerable to multiple attackers, elementals, artillery, you name it.

Not perfect, but damn near close to it. I have played this 'Mech using a regular IS pilot (the GM didn't want the Clan side to have too unfair an advantage), and I personally ruined at least 2 'Mechs, without taking more than superficial damage.
It is a very good machine, but it is NOT a god.
