The design was very effective and remained in service until the late 2900's when a new generation of higher-speed OmniFighters rendered it obsolete. In the early 3150s the [[Wolf Empire]] returned it to production to bolster their weak aerospace forces, which was easy for the Wolves as [[Allied Technologies]] was producing the ''Gotha'' at the time. In Clan space the ''Goth'' was used extensively by the Cloud Cobras for anti-[[DropShip]] operations. The design was also very popular and served with nearly every Clan.<ref name=trocg50/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Goth'' is a solid fighter with reasonably high speed for its weight class, being able push its frame to a maximum of four Gs thrust with its 180-rated [[fusion engine]]. The hull is protected by 14.5 tons of [[standard armor]], giving it modest armor for a medium-weight fighter. The primary weakness of the design is heat management, as the ''Goth'' uses [[single heat sink]]s which can quickly be overwhelmed by the weapons, despite there being 15 heat sinks permanently mounted on the frame. Because of this nearly every configuration of the ''Goth'' adds more to combat its high heat generation. The bulk of the Prime ''Goth''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s configuration firepower comes from a pair of wing-mounted [[Artemis IV]]-guided [[LRM-15]] launchers, with [[small pulse laser]]s mounted coaxially. Supplementing the wing-mounted firepower is a [[large pulse laser]] and pair of [[ER medium laser]]s in the nose. Another pair of ER medium lasers are found mounted to the rear, guarding the fighter's vulnerable tail. Finally, four more heat sinks are pod-mounted on the frame.<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', p. 47 - ''Goth'' Medium OmniFighter - ''Goth'' stats from Record Sheet information</ref><ref name=trogc51/> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration is a close-range fighter with two nose-mounted [[large pulse laser]]s, and an [[ER medium laser]] and pair of [[SRM-6]] launchers added to each of the fighter's wings. It also carries six additional pod-mounted [[single heat sink]]s for a total of 21. BV (2.0) = 1,898<ref name=trogc51/><ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', p. 48 - ''Goth'' Medium OmniFighter - ''Goth'' A information based on Record Sheet information</ref> *; Alternate Configuration B : Primarily an energy-focused configuration, the B's firepower is dramatically hotter-running because of its wing-mounted pairing of [[ER large laser]]s and [[large pulse laser]]s. Complementing the ''Goth's'' sensors is an [[active probe]] fitted to its nose. Like the A configuration, this version carries 21 [[single heat sink]]s. BV (2.0) = 1,955<ref name=trogc51/> *; Alternate Configuration C : A [[Wolf Empire]] configuration which carries a pair of [[RAC/5]]s in the nose, equipped with seven tons of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 2,062<ref name=trogc51/> *; Alternate Configuration D : Another Wolf Empire configuration, each wing carries an [[LRM-15]] enhanced with [[Artemis V FCS]], fed from a three-ton bay. Additional firepower comes from a nose-mounted [[ER PPC]] with a [[PPC capacitor]]. Though it adds five more [[single heat sink]]s, two [[coolant pod]]s are available to handle heat spikes.
