OK I had time to do some rudimentary testing.
STK-4N
https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing
WHK
https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing
TBR
https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing
Simple observations
STK-4N:
* Alpha hit 72% heat cap
* 13 to 13.5s to cool to 0% after alpha
* 6 half alphas in 8s, overheat shutdown on the 6th volley
WHK-A
* Alpha hit 64% heat cap
* 10 to 10.5s to cool to 0% after alpha
* 6 half alphas in 10s, no overheat shutdown on 6th volley
TBR-Laser Vomit
* Alpha hit 51% heat cap
* 8s to cooldown to 0 after alpha
* 6 half alphas in 10s, overheat on the 6th volley
Some thoughts
STK-4N:
+ Has superior (high) arm mounts that benefit 66% of it's firepower
+ Alpha & Half-Alpha do slightly higher damage (2 extra points and 1 extra point respectively)
+ Faster rate of fire allows for 6x half alphas in 8s.
- Is slower
- Cools off slower
- Has less range
- Has a lower total heat cap, and therefore shuts down faster
WHK:
+ Is faster
+ Has better torso yaw range
+ Has a higher heat cap allowing for 6x half alphas without shutting down
+ Cools off faster
+ Has more range
+ Has targeting computer
- Has all firepower lower mounted
- Has a slower rate of fire from lack of quirks and
- CLPLs have slightly longer burn time (0.15s longer)
** Unknown quantity: WHK-C version will be fully asymmetrical.
EDIT: I might also need to re-do the WHK test, I'm not sure if my manual fire cut the 2 half alpha volleys close enough or not.
This is what Timber Wolf Laser Vomit looks like:

I'll put simple comparison notes up near the other two mechs.
