Combat Characteristics
The capabilities of the Tieren High Mobility Type are similar to the Tieren Ground Type. At nearly twice the mass of the Gundam Virtue, the variant of the Human Reform League mainstay mobile suit is comparable in design to a bipedal tank, markedly less advanced and less maneuverable than the mass-production types of the other major powers. Though the unit's heavy armor and firepower are relics from an older generation of combat vehicles, the preservation of these throwback features translates to practical dependability in general-purpose warfare, the reasoning behind its continued deployment. The Tieren's cockpit is screenless and relatively cramped. The piloting display is head-mounted.
The High Mobility Type differs from the Ground Type in that is includes a high mobility pack that gives the Tieren a limited form of flight. This allows the Tieren to reach mission locations and combat zones quickly. When engaging in combat the large wings of the high mobility pack fold upwards vertically to stay out of the way.
The shield leg of the Tieren Ground Type is removed and in its place are enlarged thrusters on both legs for enhanced accelerated hovering and attitude control.
Overall the Tieren High Mobility Type is much faster and better suited for combat against advanced mobile suits then the Tieren Ground Type. However improved mobility is about the only advantage it has over the Ground Type.
Armaments
200 x 25 mm Smoothbore Cannon
One amongst the selection of standard solid-round firearms available to the Tieren. The barrel is fixed with a 12.7 mm coaxial machine gun and two heat sink sword bayonets of sufficient resilience for use as a weapon in close-quarters combat.
30 mm Machine Gun
machine gun mounted in the orange panel before the left shoulder joint.
Carbon Blade
A low-cost melee weapon resembling a katar, but with a double-ended bow-shaped blade that parallels the grip. Its performance in battle is inferior to that of a sonic blade. Normally docked on the panel behind the waist when not in use.
History
Sergei Smirnov used one of these mobile suits to combat Setsuna/Exia during one of the Gundam Meister's followup missions in Ceylon. Thanks to Sergei's experience as a mobile suit pilot he had limited success, putting the GN-001 Gundam Exia in a position where its GN Sword capabilities would be limited. He then attempted to take Exia's headpiece. However Setsuna quickly retook the advantage after pulling out one of Exia's beam sabers.
