Ive never played clan.
I want something that can hit at around 360 to 500 meters or more.
With good heat management.
Can someone help with loadouts, Everything I try seems incredibly hot and cooldowns are insane compared to inner sphere.
Thanks

... or If you don't like ultras and dps then maybe something like mcii-mwklgd.
One more edit and slow build with decent alpha mcii-mwklgd.

You could do something like this for a slightly-upgunned MCII-B.
Or a middle-of-the-road build like this with cUAC/5s and 2s.
You could do a splat build with SRM6 packs and LBXes as well. Just about the only thing you can't do is energy-based builds. The high mounts make it really good for longer-ranged dakka spam though, and anything that doesn't take advantage of both of the new ballistic mounts is a bit of a waste.

Have to disagree with 305 engine... 0,9kph for 1,5 tons while stripping head of a mech that has cockpit in centermass.

This. By dropping to a 300 engine you lose less than 1 kph of speed and gain 50% extra leg armor and triple your head armor on a mech where accidental cockpit hits happen regularly.

Not sure about PAC-4's and UAC-10's, but when you use the missile pods you get a -10% damage reduction when you have Missiles in those pods.
Generally on Clan mechs its ATM-9 and LRM-10 or higher launchers for Timby, HellBringer, Madcat MKII that give a -10% incoming damage to armor and internals on tosro's that have the additional external POD geometry that sticks out.
Banshee and Battlemaster are LRM20 or MRM-20 and higher, giving that same -10% damage to the mounted Torso.
Its a short list of mechs.
It was listed in the patch that ANY missile mounted on the MC-MKII give you the -10% damage reduction to armor and internals on the Left/Right Torso as long as you have ammo for them, I think its worth it.

If not, then dump the SRM-6.

Builds like this in QP are why I do leg-check shots on assaults. When that leg armor goes orange or red with one click...

Yes, I know, everyone aims at the legs and snipers hunt for the cockpits.
In 1v1 Solaris, I certainly wouldn't take the armor off my legs (but they build mechs a bit differently there), but in QP, it's rare, very rare, to die losing your legs. (unless you get caught in the rain lrm, but let's be serious)
Same with the cockpit, of course sometimes you get a headshot, but for how many matches, once every 20, every 30.
(small digression, I once piloted a Kraken and got two shots in the eye and I had full armor and died)
And so are those stupid legs, after all, if a piranha gets you while you're piloting an assault, it doesn't matter how much leg armor you have or whether you have a backup weapon (another stupid thing). A good player will tear off your legs whether they have 40, 60 or 100 armor.
But in a normal situation, not Assault vs Light, no player, even a mega pro, titanium champ or something like that, will shoot at the legs first, but in 90% of cases he will attack the damaged part.
This is the exception that proves the rule, yes, if it happens that everything is fresh and the legs lose their armor, then yes. But even when this is the case, it happens very rarely. There is no point in preparing for something that happens very rarely.
I understand that sometimes it can happen, but count how many times it happens
P.S. and That's it, I won't discuss the issue of when to put the XL into the IS Mech, because it will only raise an uproar

I run a Kodiak with 4x AC10 + one or two ERPPC (or a couple Plasma) and it is a brutal build.
