Type/Model:    Ke-Ho 
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 3060
Config:        Tracked Vehicle
Rules:         Level 1, Standard design

Mass:          60 tons
Power Plant:   300 Vlar Fusion
Cruise Speed:  54.0 km/h
Maximum Speed: 86.4 km/h
Armor Type:    Maximillian 300 Standard
Armament:      
  2 Martell Large Lasers
Manufacturer:  Hino Heavy Industry Co., Ltd
  Location:    Various
Communications System:  Nakamura Communications Systems
Targeting & Tracking System:  Matabushi Citizen

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Ke-Ho was built as a stop gap system. It was pushed into production as the
loses from the Clan Invasion became fully realized. The ideal offering was a
simple mating of proven systems and quick manufactoring, which the Hino Heavy
Industry Co., Ltd was able to meet.

They paired twin Large Lasers on a then existing 60 ton frame, amroed it well
enough to with stand several heavy weapons hits and going with a proven Vlar
fusion engine they where able to get a max speed of 86.4 km/h.

Many were built, recent accountings put the numbers as high 200 over the
course of 2 years and more seem to have been made as Hino setup other
factories cloers to the Outworld Alliance borders, even selling patten rights
to the Outworlds military to make a version of this as well.

Size and speed of the tank makes the engine too fat. You'd get better results at 50 tons, which would actually gain you a ton of space and be over 700,000 c-bills less expensive.

Yep, the second one is better. Always best to play around with the weights to see what you end up with, given how the different suspension factors and such work.

generally, yes its good to try, but tracked vehicles have a suspension factor of 0. in this case the fact that smaller engines get lighter per point is more important.
