A core flaw is the heat system, so here are some alternate takes: http://mwomercs.com/...em-suggestions/

Due to non-translation of the combat mechanic the damage and armor numbers were built for.

I would express it this way:
Due to the lack of adaptation of armour numbers to changed combat mechanics.

You want computer-guided hit location determination, I want a different armour distribution model.

No weigh balancing so we have medium as the useless class instead of being the workhorse

That sounds like criticism of glorious game.

That not allowed.

They actually doubled the external armor and the internal structure numbers - which didn't fix it. There's been rumblings of possibly adding even more to the armor and internal numbers. Of course, this has the unintended effect of completely changing the weapons damage vs armor/structure ratio; and once again making us chase the white rabbit down the hole, muttering about weapons balance.

I suppose there is a specific sense in which you could say it that way and mean the same thing as I've mentioned in that post in my sig link; but lots of people will take it completely the wrong way... which is why i prefer to point out that it's simulation of the 'mech part of the aiming equation and in particualr how battlefield conditions affect a 'mech's ability to aim.

We are back to the ECM or bust era, the changes to the LRM flight path mean that most cover is useless now.

Lack of hardpoint restrictions and proper per mech mechanics thus leading to; fast/light mechs packing large weapons and brawling with larger mech classes, Large mechs packing high alpha builds, battles lasting seconds due to insane damage output from multiple mechs, lack of tactical play due to this, silly individual weapon and mech balance issues, complete deveation from Battletech lore/cannon/universe.

Not enough armour

Lack of defensive capabilities
