==Description==
Although slow for its weight, the Wolfhound has excellent armor and can carry many beam weapons. It has more stamina in a firefight than other light mechs.

== Tactical Analysis ==
'''Strengths'''<br>
With no ammunition dependency, the Wolfhound is capable of long range scouting operations with little need for support. [[ECM]] and [[IFF Jammer]] support make it extremely stealthy, and with its limited survivability and capability these are vital additions to most any configuration. It can pack significant punch with its energy weapons, if it can be deployed to an area protected from counter fire.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>

'''Weaknesses'''<br>
Disappointing speed for a 35 ton mech and a limited, energy weapon only capability makes the Wolfhound a secondary threat on the battlefield. More capable designs exist in the [[Raven]], [[Osiris]], or even the [[Uller]]. Few pilots enjoy piloting the high profile, low-power chassis, and its appearance on the field is somewhat rare.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
