Solid design, wish there was fluff though...Also about half the amount of ammo would do.

Definite fire support mech. Was going to ask why the ersl, but guess the range would cover the minimum for the lrms.
Being a clan mech, this looks like a naga without the arrow IV. Unless they changed clan warriors thinking by this time, I don't see it being popular with any of them. Too much ammo, not enough firepower. Support is not something they want or like to do. Single combat was their choice. Now innersphere warriors would like it. But the lrms aren't half weight there.

It's like a Clan Valkyrie.
If I had a suggestion, it'd be to concentrate the ammo in one location so you only needed one CASE II. But that'd make a bigger difference on an Inner Sphere design.

Well the LRMs look like the ones on this Koshi (Mist Lynx)

The one in the tro 3050 has a single lrm with a streak 4 and mg's. Looking in the tro, the puma is the same weight as this mech, not 25 tons like the koshi.. It has 2 lrm 20's with 2 tons of ammo and 2 small pulse lasers with the same move in the A variant, along with a fixed flamer. Endosteel and ferrous fiber armor. I guess they do free up some weight. The primary has 2 erppcs on it..
Still a usable unit, just a little undergunned for the weight.
