What about using MRMs instead of SRMs? They would give your 'Mech a longer reach.

Heat and I'm used to playing the brawler Scorch so SRM range is something I am used to getting into even on maps like Polar.

If I remember right, my 4HP had 8SRM6 with Artemis, a STD350 engine and arms stripped of armour to make it fit. Engine might have been smaller too, can't log in to check right now.
Its an absolutely hilarious surprise for anyone coming around a corner at you, but the Cyclops with 6ASRM6+SRM2 is just so much more mobile I'd rather be piloting that instead.

Yea I found I get out ranged a bit, I tried fitting regular ppc to my build but just couldn't fit without hurting my ammo count too much, thought maybe the snub would allow so scare factor/minor dps at longer ranges
I tried MRM but found i am terrible with them comparatively
How much does the atremis affect the grouping? I've read its noticable on srm6, so i figured a bunch of 4s would be fine without? Kinda the thought i had from what i've read around

If range is an issue you either practice and get better at MRMs which does take time or you slap on LRMs on it. You can just ignore the tons of hard points or use it for its intended purpose with Rocket Launchers which have around 370 range and around 60-70 minimum range. Each RL20 does 40 damage.
IS SRM6s are fine for me without Artemis, but having the spread go tighter is always better.

Personally I have no problem with SRMs on faster 'Mechs, but sometimes I run MRMs on slower 'Mechs. Even though MRMs have a noticeable spread, the range is still better than the range of SRMs.

SRM-2 and SRM-4 are good even without Artemis IV. SRM-6 really benefit from Artemis IV, unless you are really okay with that wide missile spread.

I would avoid LRMs. The higher between Tiers you move, the more ECM and AMS you will see.
Plus, the higher you are, the more enemies who know how to take cover when facing LRMs you will meet.
As for Rocket Launchers, I consider them to be among the worst MWO weapons you can use.

But I could be completely wrong. I did try the default rocket launcher build and had some fun with it though.

I think you should just play around it it, experiment and not worry about tier loss too much until you find something that works for you.
For me, I just find the nearest corner that enemy mechs will most likely come from and plaster the first poor ******* that comes over with 100 damage.

Group the Rockets into 2 firing groups. After the Rockets are gone, you still have good firepower MRM60+MLas20, good speed, and decent heat management.

If you're going SRM, then full on SRM brawl. Don't bother with the SNPPC. Left right punch with the SRMs and then a laser salvo if needed to clean up the kill.

The rocket loadout has less firepower than a heavy mech once the rockets are expended.
Heres a better way to build the SRM version:
https://mech.nav-alp...1d0657c_MAD-4HP
Note how I did not strip head even though I stripped the arms. Marauders all have extremely large head hitboxes and Marauder II has the largest of the large. On most other similar loadouts, you could go down to 1 head armour.
The ammo I put into that might be a little excessive. You can perhaps clear one arm of ammo and instead put some armour on the other.

sorry, i must have missed the part where how many IS Heavies can alpha 80 pts of damage without ghost heat? The whole point of the build isn't even firepower, it's about maximising the snowball effect of MWO's game mechanics. You initiate the fight with the Rockets and immediately take out an Assault or Heavy early, and it immediately tips the scale in your teams' favour. That's the power of boating Rockets. If you don't understand how MWO is a snowball game, then you won't get the point of the build.
also, ALL mechs have the same cockpit hitbox size regardless of tonnage and size. Just because the glass look bigger doesn't mean the hitbox is bigger. The cockpit is just situated in the middle of the CT in the frontal profile, so it probably tends to get hit more often than other cockpits. I've not gotten headshot but no harm keeping it maxed if that's the preference

This is fundamentally wrong. Please take a look at Hitbox Localization 2 and immediately see how much.

Holy crap, that Annihilator head hitbox is huge. No wonder it's so easy to kill those in lower tiers. I got a few one shots on them when the game fed me some cadets while leveling my HGauss Faffy.
