The original gauss rifle, XLE and armor are retained. Other than that a Chameleon LPS is installed for added protection. The LB-10X is replaced with a Mydron Tormado RAC-5 with three tons of ammo. The large/ER large laser center torso is replaced with a Defiance Novashot Model 2 Plasma Rifle with two tons of ammo. All explosive components and ammo are installed in CASE II protected areas of the mech. A RAMTech 1500Z ERML adds to the armament for engagements close range.

Hmm.  No, I desperately want my ECM.  Any ideas?
*edit - Stealth armor?  Gauss would be a perfect Stealth/sniper combo, but woul need at least3-4 tons of ammo.  I hate running out.

Dragon Fire was never meant to be a sniper rather than a mid range heavy mech. For sniping in stealth armor there are better options in this weight class like the CTF-4L for example.

This design was meant to engage relatively safe at range and really become relevant and nasty mid range
