Question from a noob player.

What are the conditions that prevents me to switch from single to double heatsink?

Do all the IS mechs have the capabilities to use double HS?

All IS mechs can be upgraded to double heat sinks, and you should upgrade every mech that you plan on using. Nothing will prevent you from upgrading except the 1.5 million c-bill cost.

Double heat sinks are a flat out upgrade and should always be purchased

Endo steel give you more tonnage to work with at the cost of critical slots. This is a must have upgrade except for a few mech builds, mostly assaults.

Ferro does the same thing as endo but not as well. Always get DHS and ENDO before considering Ferro. Nearly every light mech should run this upgrade and a good amount of mediums benefit from it too.

Another thing to be aware of is that whereas single heat sinks occupty 1 critical space, IS doubles occupy 3 critical spaces. For that reason, when upgrading your mechs, always go for DHS first, then if you have at least 14 critical spaces available and want to reduce the weight go for endo steel.

If you completely mess up your mech simply switch mechs without saving and you will go back to the previous state on that mech.

Also, use

To build before spending any c-bills.

the only things which can prevent you upgrading to Double Heat Sinks are if the Mech already has them fitted or if the Mech is an omnimech (most of the current Clan Mechs, all but the IIC Mechs the Kodiak which are Battlemechs) but all omnimechs currently ingame come stock with DHS anyway
