I couldn't find anything about this so I made a post my self.

The mad dog's engine heat sinks seem to run hot, I went into the testing ground and fired off 4x ERML and it generated up to 39% heat consistently, so I moved onto test this on the dire wolf with 4x ERML and just the engine sinks, it generated 36% heat consistently and dissipated at a much faster rate. in the mech lab the Mad Dog shows a heat scale of 1.19 where as the Dire Wolf shows 1.29.

NOTE: both my Mad Dog and Dire Wolf DO NOT have skill tree unlocks, they are completely fresh.

The Mad dog has 12 mandatory heat sinks. (all in the engine plus the 2 engine slots)

The Dire Wolf has 15 mandatory heat sinks.(engine, 2 engine slots, 3 more external hardwired heatsinks)

If you strip them both down to the minimum hardwired equipment and add 4 ERML the Dire Wolf has moreheatsinks so fo course it has better heat efficiency. Add three more heatsinks, and check the quirks (Dire Wolf Prime arms have longer cooldown for energy weapons, longer cooldown will mean higher heat efficiency)
