📋 About This Mod

Adds a new Davion variant of the Thunderbolt from lore — the TDR-5D — notable for its unique torso‑mounted ballistic hardpoint.

This mod file supports VANILLA & YAML.

Introduced in 2821, the 5D is a radical departure from the 5S. All short-range weapons are replaced by a Luxor Devastator-20 Autocannon/20 in the right torso supplied by two tons of ammunition. The left torso mounts a Delta Dart LRM-10 with one ton of ammunition, and 14 heat sinks keep the 'Mech ice-cold.

Most commonly found among Davion forces and their opponents, this simple T-Bolt brings an AC20 & LRM 10 only on its stock loadout. Though the ruggedness and age-tested chassis assures that those willing to invest can bring this variant's firepower much higher.

Quick Facts.

1. 5 energy hardpoints.

2. 1 AMS hardpoint.

3. BV = 1,231

4. The source plugin file is also available.
