But...ummm.. yeah...hypothetically, if I were to create an assault LRM boat which would play better:
MCII-4 with 4 X LRM20 + 4 X ERML
or
SNV-A with 4 X LRM20 + 4 X HML
Thanks

Either way ditch the lasers. Full LRM80 with 3k ammo+tag or don't.

Try AWS-8R with 3xLRM-15+Artemis. Decent mix of mobility, heat management, ammo and helpful quirks.

This is how you SNV-A for the most insane DPS in the game - and yes it has L-AMS, that even on a hot map, doesn't hurt you much. You can turn it off if you're heat spiking anyway but thats rare.
Or if you want some back up weps yet some lower overall DPS - SNV-A. You might run out of ammo though.

Jokes aside, you do want backup weapons if you drop in quickplay, your team won't help you in most games.
If you drop faction or group queue, you can ditch the backup weapons to maximize lrm spam.

Anyone running full LRMs in solo queue is asking for it.
Even I bring a friend when going full LRMs. And I'm suicidal in game.
This is me on the other end of the issue.
This is the short end of a 6 minute time with a medium pecking at me, where no one would answer the call for help.
You need some backup weapons. But heavy lasers are TOO HOT. ER lasers are too hot. Given you're running Clan, try small pulse or MPL and note their purpose is to fend off lights and mediums that get too close... regardless of if you have LRMs or SRMs.
You could also try swapping two launchers for SRMs, or run a mix LRM-ATM build, as the ATMs will be able to do damage at much closer ranges, as well as much higher damage per missile.

While I do not actually play LRM Assaults, I do have an ECM Cougar with LRM 40 that I am currently trying to skill... And I would certainly appreciate any pointers you might have to improve my performance on that map.
Lights are my worst Mech class and LRMs the weapon system I have the most problems with. ;-)
I tried to send you a PM, but for some reason the system would not let me...
