OVERVIEW
The TME-74 is an unusual asymmetric design centered around a Sniper medium artillery cannon. This snub-nosed howitzer can fire low-velocity shells over intervening terrain, making the Braveheart an exceptional close-range indirect fire support platform. Jump jets make up for its lack of speed by giving it the ability to jump over obstacles that would take too much time to go around.
CAPABILITIES
Due to its potential for meeting the enemy, it is better armored than most support 'Mechs and has an arsenal of medium lasers for protection. A sword gives the Braveheart exceptional protection against enemies foolish enough to go hand-to-hand with it. The Sniper cannon's swivel mount allows the TME-74 to hide behind a hill and provide close support fire to a lance of lighter 'Mechs.
VARIANTS
The TME-74 has one major production variant and one common field modification. The TME-74-A replaces the Sniper cannon with a heavy autocannon, making it a superior close-in brawler. The field variant also replaces the Sniper cannon for a longer-ranged Arrow IV artillery missile system.
