There is none whatsoever. You can't mount enough cooling and/or firepower to justify it. You always run out of slots.

I was wondering who you were!
I have to ask, what actually makes you do it? I mean... What justification do you actually use for that?
When do you go "Who needs to actually survive in a big giant slow mech the size of a building" and what mental gymnastics does it take to come to that conclusion? Especially with LFE now?

Oh, yeah. Dying unceremoniously due to your own hubris. That's right.

In other news:
I love the Annihilator. I would never pilot one, but I think it's great that we have a giant turret lumbering around annihilating us. It's a challenge bring them down, and they are a real threat if you are careless enough to try to solo one.
(LOL out loud moment in a match on the weekend: there was one enemy Mech left, and I knew it was in the basement of HPG. So I jumped off the roof to go kill it. I landed 10 meters in front of a fresh 4AC10 Annihilator. I was dead 2 seconds later.)
My only criticism is that the Annihilator needs to be rescaled to be a bit bigger. It's not sufficiently differentiated from oversize Lights like the Firestarter. I'm fine that it's so ridiculously tanky. It just needs to be a bit bigger/scarier in keeping with its role.

I duelled one in my quad lbx Kodiak and won (not sure how much outside involvement there was), I was curious on how it would go down but perhaps the other person was a potato. I would have loved to have seen a mirror match as I've seen it had quad lbx too.
It's nice to see this Dinosaur looking mech on the field but asides the Dakka version is there any other decent builds?
(I don't own the mech so I am just asking).

If it's accurate that OP is always dying from blown out left side torso, why is that?
Do you go around corners with to the left most of the times? Do you twist to the right?
Are the ST's of ANH's bad?

It might have something to do with player habits.
I often find myself peeking from the same side, and if i'm brawling and circling someone, I tend to run in the same direction also.
If i'm taking damage, I have a tendency to twist to the left, if i'm not paying attention to where damage is landing.
Maybe the OP is the same - maybe it's not the equipment, but a behavioral thing the operator isn't aware of.

There WOULD be a reason to bring one, in the edge case build of 4xRAC5, since that needs heatsinks and the only way to fit them and the weapons is to run an XL with no endo steel... but ghost heat says you cant run that build anyway. You can run 5xUAC5 with STD300, 9.5 tons of ammo and 2 DHS... so even the really heavy ballistic loads dont need an XL.

Yeah, most people do the same and it generally depends on which side of your body that is dominant.
Most people are right handed, and that's why the nascar usually goes to the right for instance.

Yep.
Instinctive stuff. Not user error, user behavior. Stuff you're oblivious to until someone knowingly exploits it against you.
Edit: also, OP, the XL thing. Even if you aren't doing something subconscious, that's just ASKING for trouble. That's the sort of thing that draws the ire of the giant robots of the spirit world, who will see you smote out of spite.

First off - ditch the XL (if you are using one) for a light or standard - XL is too risky, even for most medium mechs - and you are double the tonnage and twice as slow.
Next, before you decide to slow down to shoot at the enemy, ask yourself: "Am I on the front lines on the right most side and still moving?" if the answer is yes, congrats, you can start shooting and doing assault stuff and hope that your team can cover your ***.
