Currently, the Kaiju is basically an energy version 000 King Crab, only it has 3E on each arm, and 2B on LT, and 2M on RT.
I found that to be rather problematic with Kaiju, as energy heavy builds usually have so much left-over tonnage while also could only fit a few amount of DHS. Builds that would also work far far better on lighter platform, especially that it has low-slung arm. And to top that all off, it goes pretty hot when you do.
As for the side-torsi hardpoints, not only you have limited amount of hardpoints, you also cannot put multiple major ballistic weapons as before. So even if you're incentivised to go large with ballistic weapons due to limited hardpoints, you also cannot put a lot of heavy ballistic weapons.
Same goes with the missile weapons -- you cannot put more than two SRM6As, that drastically limits its close range potential. And utilizing the lasers would mean it goes pretty hot, and is a disservice to brawling.
I propose a 2E both arms, 3B LT and 3M RT -- basically a mirror of the 000B instead. Having 4E still allows it to have 4x PPC for the stock loadout, while also improving on the torso weapons. You can go 3x SRM6A for brawl builds, 3x AC5 for long range builds, 3x LRM15A for ******** LRM builds.
