MY BLURB:
Don't feel like filling out all the fluff right now, but this is the second of three designs in JMInc.'s Vintage Prototype project. It started off as an attempt to build a better 'Mech than an Atlas without dropping the AC/20. The obvious solution was to trade the LRM 20 for a more effective combination of weapons. I used a PPC and an AC/5, dropped several unnecessary Heat Sinks, and downgraded the SRM 6 to a SRM 4. Remaining tonnage went to a pair of MGs and 2 more Rear-mounted MLs. The Notwot has slightly less total firepower than the Atlas, but has better average damage and better staying power at long range, and a much more versatile weapon mix at close range, since the PPC and AC/5 can both fire effectively up to 2 hexes away.
Thoughts?

Not sure if having 4 rear firing lasers is necessary. But then I don't do free for all.
I know it's boring, but would have used a second ppc instead of the ac 5 and used the extra mls for heatsinks. But that is my love of ppcs.
The ac 5 has the issues we all know and love, so it might have been an idea to keep the lrms, but maybe down grade to a 15 pack, or even a 10 with other weapons.
The inclusion of the mgs is nice, since the 20 no longer kills infantry like it used to. I know the missile launchers did a decent job of infantry control, but you would rather use that against vehicles or mechs.
Overall, I would say it is an improvement. Long range firepower that can be kept up, with a little extra short ranged power.
As pointed out, the ac 5 is what I would consider the weakest point in the upgrade, but it isn't a huge problem.

True, the AC/5 isn't the most efficient weapon...I just liked the aesthetic of the mismatched ACs. I tried twin PPCs with the AC/20 and I just couldn't get it to work right for me...either poor heat control at long range, inadequate supporting weapons in close, or both.
A better choice might be a LRM 10. Longer range, slightly more average damage, saves 2 tons for Heat Sinks.
I like the rear-facing lasers as a 'Mech like this just screams for smaller, faster 'Mechs to jump in behind it...2 MLs aren't m7ch deterrent, but 4 have to be taken seriously...

I dunno the AC/20, AC/5, PPC combo is unique as far as I've seen in battletech. So might be worth preserving for that reason alone.
4 Rear ML is fine as well. Problem with rear-mounted weapons is that, the penalties to split fire are so great that's usually not worth firing rear weapons even in the current rule set. So having four rear-facing will help alleviate that problem, particularly if you don't have the heat sinks to fire them all forward facing anyway.
