Out of curiosity, I took the 3025 Flashman and, using only minimal L2 tech, tried to get it as close to the 2750 version as possible. In the process, I decided that upgrading the heat sinks and large lasers would be enough. Surprisingly, HMPro says that this version has a higher BV than the 2750 version.
For this one, I added a full ton of armor, maxing everything out. In addition, I gave it enough double heat sinks to match exactly its maximum heat- it can run and alpha strike and not gain a point of heat. But there isn't a single heat sink to spare. Even with the added armor, the pilot must still be careful of critical hits; odds are that any critical to the arms or side torsos will result in a heat sink getting hit.

The BV is higher because you left off the AMS--exploding ammo lowers BV slightly I believe.
All in all....B+

Wow, it's your lucky day... DS is not only here, but in rip peoples designs to shreds mode...
HEY EVERYBODY!!! LOOK, IT's ANOTHER ALPHA BABY!!!
Nothing like packing in more sinks that you would use in 90% of the turns.
The medium laser version of the Flashman was always one of the designs that made me ask 'Why'... That flamer would be so rarely fired that two of those sinks are effectively unnecessary, and god forbid that the rest of the time you should build any heat.
First thing I'd do out of the gate is give it the third large laser back, and mount just enough sinks to fire all three at a full run (19 DHS), or maybe only 18 (tough call). This frees up the room for FF, only losing half a ton of armor.
With that third ERLL your chances of actually hitting the enemy goes up, meaning higher damage overall. You want to fire the small stuff just cycle out one ERLL. For just the pair of ERLL's and the five ML's you'd only build 3 heat at a full run (oh my god the heat)
I hate alpha babies. God forbid you should have to think about your heat use.

Not bad, but didn't the original Flashman move 5/8 and have 3 large lasers?
I do like how its heat efficient, but not being a fan of ERLL's or flamers I think you're paying too much for that ability.

The original made use of an XL Engine to get to 5/8. And it had unprotected AMS ammo.
When I decided to do this I also wanted to see what I could do without resorting to an XL engine.
Personally, given the nature of the load-out, I can see this mech being used in just about every environment there is- underwater, urban, open field, etc. The flamer's good in urban, and the rest is good elsewhere. I guess tho that I could say the flamer can be traded for another medium. It's the same tonnage and heat so there's no real problem.
