Looks like a basic MBT. Nothing really wrong with it, but nitpicking is fun so here goes. Armor is a bit light, most 50 ton hovers have more armor. Personally I would always use Hardened armor on a wheeled or tracked combat vehicle (for the crit reduction and AP resistance). Lots of people don't though; in that case Heavy Ferro Fibrous is your best bet as it has the highest points per ton of any armor type. Other types are specialized against specific weapon categories, some with downsides against other types of weapons.
When I re-created this design in SAW, it came up a half ton underweight. What software did you use?
Since you aren't using any energy weapons at all, consider a Fuel-Cell engine. In this case it saves you an entire NINE TONS. In that case, I'd assign half of that to more armor, maybe an AMS, and the rest to an ECM and some side-arc weapons (LMGs or more SRM2s), maybe in a pair of sponsons. That would really boost this tanks survival rate.
Putting the SRM 2 in another location would reduce turret mechanism tonnage by .5, so there's that.

I use the official Heavy Metal Vee design software by Rich Raisley.
