However, this presents a potential heat problem since all of the weapon hardpoints are energy based, similar to the [[Blackjack BJ-1X]]. <section end=description/> ===Strengths=== The ''Blackjack BJ-3's'' most notable feature may be its arms. Weapons fired from there will fire from shoulder level and make firing from behind cover easy for pilots. The ability to mount [[Jump Jets]] gives the pilot the ability to jump snipe from long range, become hard to hit at close range, and of course clear obstacles in its way. The lack of lower arm and hand actuators also frees up additional critical space for equipment. Finally, the relatively low cap on mountable engines means it has roughly the same free tonnage as a heavier [[Hunchback]]. ===Weaknesses=== The most glaring problem that this, and most [[Blackjack]]s, may have is the low top speed of the design. With the stock 180 rated engine it comes with, it's barely faster than some assault 'Mechs. At most, the top speed can be increased to 84kph before speed tweak. The arms may also pose some risk at close range. Without lower arm actuators, it is less able to deal with threats quickly at close range. The generous torso twist range of the design helps to offset this though. {{Online Mech Lab}} {{Template:Hardpoints Table |selected=Medium Mechs }} {{Template:Chassis Comparison Table |selected=Medium Mechs }} ==References== <references /> {{MechWarrior Online Wiki |selected=BattleMechs }} [[Category:Mechs]][[Category:Medium BattleMechs]][[Category:45 Tons]][[Category:Blackjack]][[Category:Playable]][[Category:JJets]]
