Detailed description of the Konflikt 47 United States Linebacker Jump Walker

After the failed air assault in Collegno in 1946, the shortcomings of the original M2 Mudskipper series became apparent. Despite a solid design, Firefly jump troops needed better and more versatile fire support upon impact in combat.

• American engineers developed a comprehensive series of Mudskipper modernizations to increase tactical flexibility.
• The installation of an M21 Tesla cannon and innovative universal mounts for secondary weapons makes it possible to quickly adapt the jump walker for various global threats.
• Improved articulated legs and feet strengthen resilience during heavy landings.
• A new control system allows for pilot control by a single operator without loss of functionality.
• The new variant was called the M2A5 but quickly became known among crews and Firefly soldiers as the "Linebacker."

The Linebacker made its combat debut in May 1947 when 200 units were quickly sent to the front to break through Axis lines during the siege of Stuttgart in Operation Valentine.
