================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Jackal is Clan Donka's attempt to max out the Wolfhound and borrows design elements from
    the 55 ton Werewolf as well. While not entirely mimicking its two cousins, the JKL-XD relies
    entirely on energy based weapons making it capable of operating far beyond supply lines.
    Utilising a massive 380 XL Engine, the Jackal has a top speed of 64.8 km/h. A MASC system
    enhances the top speed to 86.4 km/h (albeit only in short bursts). This unusual emphasis
    gives the Jackal a maximum speed for its weight class, as it is often capable of keeping up
    with 'Mechs twenty or thirty tons lighter than itself. The jackal also carries fifteen and a
    half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armour, which is maximum for its weight class. Eighteen double
    heat sinks are mounted to cool the 'Mech down.

Capabilities:
    This Jackal's configuration uses its mobility to keep enemies as far away as possible. An ER
    P.P.C.  is the 'Mech's primary weapon, backed up by a trio of Large Pulse Lasers, which give
    it excellent direct firepower. For use against soft targets and possibly any light vehicles
    that manage to approach from behind, the Jackal carries a rear mounted Medium Pulse Laser.
    This makes the 'Mech very effective in an open battlefield.
