If you don’t overload your mech with EMP, Recoil and Targeting Guidance Strain weapons and equipment you should reap a heat capacity benefit.
This would allow variety mechs a much larger niche, space and position in a game dominated by boats.
Alpha striking allows you to turn your torso (Or allows you to duck behind a rock or building) between shots decreasing the amount of centre torso damage considerably by spreading it out or avoiding it altogether.
This is a legitimate tactic that all players should learn to do to some degree, but it has led to large gunned Alpha striking boats dominating all others. Especially when competing with balanced mechs who have to brawl with the same heat capacity.
Mech chassis variants that are meant to be boats by sacrificing weapon variety, engine size or having an extra wide centre torso or weapons all over one side… should gain the heat bonus regardless.
