Every weapon in this game got a literal or figurative buff by firing more than once per ten seconds OR their damage was arbitrarily increased.
Machine guns and flamers got completely useless. They still do "double" their damage over ten seconds, but given the need to maintain aim and hit the same component to actually do meaningful damage, they are completely worthless.
No one will be boating machine guns and flamers like previous MW games. Of course, the hardpoint system wouldn't let that happen anyway.

MG's have range, flamers not so much.
as a supplement weapon they're not bad (Raven comes with double stock, so +2.4DPS with no +heat on top of 2ML's and an SRM and "Basically" infinite ammo at 2k/ton)
Given that it's 2 tons for 2MG's and a ton of ammo in the current game state, and 6 tons for an AC/2 with no ammo, it's a godsend on a light. Heavier mechs not so much.

If you want to disable an atlas without to much effort, fire a constant stream of MG bullets at it, and watch the weapons break.
True story.

MGs and Flamers are support weapons. They support the notion that they suck.

Hey now, i've ruined a gaussapults day on my raven by Machinegunning the absolute -HELL- out of his torso while hurtling around him at 138kph
Nothing like watching one struggle futiley with ML's or less while you slowly SRM them to death, ehehehehe.

The best way to use them is to pare them with a high damage weapon. One that will damage enemy armor, then you open up those damaged areas with machine gun fire. They seem to work better that way. Again, just my experience. Over all though they are mostly rubbish. If I have a mech that I don't load up with AC's or Gaus. I'd likely add in a couple machine guns. They may be worthless but if you are not using the ballastic slots for anything, they only cost 1 slot and 0.5 tons. Use them like I said above, shoot at damaged areas for better effect. I also use them against light mechs.
