What are you using that makes this guy a level 3 design? Just the Super Charger? What other mechs are you putting in a star with it? There is nothing bad about the design past the heat, but some observations are as follows.
One of the big advantages of the Clans has always been their range. This mech can't hit past the range of a 3020s large laser, which negates that advantage. The HLL and ERMLs have basically the same range brackets. If you fire them together you are in serious trouble. I would really suggest playing with weapons brackets if you want to go with a high heat design.
The last thing is price. You have a second line mech with all the gadgets out there construction wise, minus Endo, and a price tag that shows it.
I'm posting a "similar" design I hacked together out of a Stormcrow. My version uses a standard MASC in place of a SC, but if you wanted to go back up to level three you can easily switch back to the super charger. Mine has slightly less armor, is lighter, but significantly cheaper. I do use Endo which adds maintenance and sophistication, but in my mind that is balanced by the fact that I drop a TC and SC. As for other equipment, an ERPPC backed by 6 ERMLs give the bracket fire ability I mentioned earlier, and more manageable heat. I loose the TC accuracy, but my weapon choices are more accurate in general, so this is a wash in most situations.
