LGB-0H This Civil War-era variant designed by the Marian Hegemony replaces the entire weapons loadout of the standard Longbow with two PPCs and a fearsome array of twenty-six one-shot RL-10s. The 0H also sports eleven double heat sinks
LGB-13NAIS Manufactured exclusively for the the Federated Suns, the 13NAIS variant removes all missile launchers and uses a standard fusion engine, though it does use an endo steel frame to save weight. Each arm mounts three light autocannon/5s that can make use of special munitions produced by the Federated Suns. To ensure that it can mount such ammunition, seven tons are allotted to the ammunition bins. A Guardian ECM suite protects it from enemy electronics, while a C3 slave uses targeting data from other C3 equipped units to improve its accuracy. The 13NAIS mounts an ER small laser and a pair of ER medium lasers.
LGB-10K Completely unique among Longbow variants the 10K may also be the most deadly.
1 Medpulse (HD) 1 ERLL(CT) 2xUAC-20 1 per arm.

It's getting buffed in a patch: MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - Longbow Loadouts (mw5mercs.com)
Looks like that detail didn't get put into the post here.

NOTE: PLANNED BUFF
Following extensive playtesting of the Longbow, we believe it deserves a more distinct role in your DropShip as a dedicated long-range support chassis. With this vision in mind, we've prepared a significant enhancement. All Longbow variants, except for the Hero, will receive an upgrade to their side torso missile hardpoints, transitioning from small to large hardpoints. This buff will be implemented post-launch, expedited to swiftly elevate these 'Mechs into valuable assets within your 'Mech inventory. The timing of this patch release will hinge on our post-launch assessments to ensure any critical issues are addressed promptly.
Matt and I were working on the post at the same time, one of our saves erased the intended planned buff section (note that it went up on the MW5Mercs.com news post). Fixed!

Another Mech were in the past I'm like, yeah, it's okay.
But with PGI design, I really want to pilot one now.

GREETINGS MERCENARIES,
INTRODUCING THE LONGBOW!

Does it mean that you add those missile bay doors that the Longbow is supposed to have and that your art shows?

I am asking because this big and broad-shouldered BattleMech will need all durability features that it can get - both in MW5:Mercs and in MWO.
Missile bay doors are good for providing such additional protection.
Please note that the Longbow will compete with the Stalker and the Stalker has the advantage of the body shape that tanks the incoming damage much better.
