================================================================================================
Overview:
    The A-10 Warthog (WTG-1X-LAM) was developed off of the SHD-x2 ShadowHawk LAM chassis as a
    dedicated Ground support airframe that could also act as a harasser and quick strike
    machine.

Capabilities:
    Powering the design was a 220-rated Fusion Engine and it was equipped with 4 Jump Jets. The
    relatively slower speed was actually seen as a plus by its pilots as it allowed for better
    acquiring of ground targets.  Armed with a Mydron Model Rotary Autocannon mounted in in the
    Left Torso, this autocannon fires depleted uranium tipped 50mm shells that make short work
    of most ground targets. Its firepower is enhanced with four internal Bomb Bays. The bays are
    split between its two torsos to allow it to deliver bombs while in fight mode.

Notable MechWarriors:
    The venerable Mech Warrior Bishop Steiner has racked up an impressive kill tally of ground
    vehicles during his career.  Many a beleaguered ground force has uttered their last prayers
    only to be saved be the intervention of his accurate ground strikes and the pounding fire of
    his cannon fire.  The radio is filled with the many thanks of the groundpounders as he banks
    away in search of his next target.
