I designed this mech for non alpha sniping. The goal is to keep the enemy at about 600 while you wail on them with the LL and AC. The heat management is pretty good. The 3ML's are for those times when the enemy gets too close to you. The trick to this mech is to put yourself in a position where you can continue to fire without drawing too much attention, if that happens disengage and go at them from another angle.
