False, as the B variant has 3 LRM15s in each arm and 1 ER ML in each side torso. As the B config, it is very likely to be included.
Indeed. And given its rather large range of arm pod options, and the extra free crit space over the Gyr, you have an extremely flexible and extremely capable energy or missile platform, that can also dakka fairly well. Not as good in ballistic builds as the Gyr, due the number and placement of mounts, and not quite as good a poptart in the sense of having to invest 4 tons into thrusters via omnipod mounts - but perhaps will get more height being slightly lighter with its 34 tons of JJ added remaining space. However, from a missile or energy based approach, it would be the superior option. Probably a better hybrid mech over the Gyr, as well.
Nova Cat is gonna be a flexible beasty.
