As a concept this is much more my bag as a PR platform, good speed, fits in a light vehicle bay, enough armour that it'll almost certainly be immobilised before it's destroyed.

My only real problem with it is the ER flamer, which for a fixed forward decidedly secondary weapon weighs in at a whopping 5 tons.  There's just much more that could be done with that weight - I appreciate that fire is something of the theme but how about

4 vehicle flamers + 1 ton of ammo (2 front, 1 left, 1 right maybe)
An SRM 6 with 2 tons of ammo (inferno and regular)
An MML 5 (or 2 MML 3) with 2 tons of ammo (inferno and LRM)
An SRM 6 with 1 ton of ammo (inferno) and increased turret gear <-- this would be my choice I think
7 LMG + turret gear and 1/2 ton of ammo

How are you mounting the armor listed in addition to the heat sinks for both the ER flamer and the plasma rifle?
