I would have to do a side by side comparison to figure out the point of this change.
All I know is you should have 2 free tons floating around and I don't know off hand what you did with them.

I believe that the Case II weigh one ton each.
If that is your question?
I thought I used enhanced LRM 20s with Artemis IV FCS maybe it is a bug.

| Enhanced LRMs are a hard sell. Bigger and heavier then normal LRMs. Marginally better minimum range. Clan LRMs exist and are available on the market in the same eras.

| good point but what would a clan sell the Magistracy there LRM's giving such a great advantage over the non clans. I try to make some design with the Magistracy in mind with some help from CC and the FWL willingness to sell giving the trinity alliance, but it dies not always work, and I am not up to date with the civil war and jihad lore.

This gets into lore more then anything else.
Enhanced LRMs become common by 3090.
Clan Diamond Shark starts trading with the Inner Sphere more after the Jihad. By 3100 they switch back to being Clan Sea Fox and are openly trading with everyone except the homeworld Clans.
So there is a window between 3090 and 3100 where the design fits. That's also the weird spot in the timeline where no one plays because everyone took a break from war or something.
Even after 3100 you can make the argument that not everything can be Clan all the time. Production lines are still being built at that point, and keeping Clan tech scarce would be good for profit margins. So you use the weapons you can source.

So if it was making most of these entries between 3065 and 3090s for my Mercenary force for the Magistracy. but thanks it good to know.
I really do not like the Jihad or the dark age or Ilclan era but thank goodness for head cannon.

| Ha. My head cannon is in the deepest periphery. Only place I can do things without conflicting with the actual timeline.
