I just tried out the new heavy med lasers and my first opinion is that they run far too hot, even with plenty of skill points in heat related skills.
Heavy Medium Laser: 8 heat, 6.45 second cycle time = 1.24 heat per second
ER Medium Laser = 6.3 heat, 5.00 second cycle time = 1.26 heat per second
Heavy Medium Lasers are actually cooler over time than Clan ER Medium Lasers.

ATMs seem to have too little ammo...even with 4 tons of ammo + max ammo skills, 2 ATM-9s run out of ammo extremely quickly.
Stop shooting at long range, they aren't LRMs.
I'm averaging 2.4 damage per ATM hit, which means 90 missiles per tons equates to 216 damage per ton.
LRMs are only 180 damage per ton.

And why do small pulse lasers do less damage than small lasers now even though they weigh double the tons and have less range?
Because they shoot considerably faster, and do more damage per heat.
Small Pulse Laser: 4 damage, 2.4 heat, 2.5 second cycle time = 1.60 DPS, 1.67 damage/heat
ER Small Laser: 5 damage, 3.5 heat, 4.3 second cylce time = 1.16 DPS, 1.43 damage/heat
