It would be nice if the game's UI will show the projected heat build up like in bottom right's weapon loadout's top, the projected heat after firing seleted weapons. Thanks in advance...

In combat or in the mechbay? In combat, look at your heat meter. As you de/select weapons, it will show you the projected heat. That's also a good way to "ride the line" as so many of us pew-pew lovers do.
I thought that the heat bar would be somewhere near the weapons' loadout/selection box... it was instead on the bottom left side... lol... one for me... well for those who do NOT know where the heat bar is, it is right above the bottom left side's information box...

OK. On that detail, yeah. I think the heat bar being ABOVE the weapon selection would be a better position for it.
The whole idea of heat in this version of Battletech is somewhat muddled. I’d kinda like to see specifics on how much heat my mech is dumping in the mechbay when I’m tinkering. I mean, it tells me a heat sink adds 3 to my heat dissipation and it tells me how much heat my weapons generate, but what’s my base? I assume it’s different for each mech, but is it? I haven’t been able to find anywhere in the UI where it tells me.
That information would be good. I've been winging it based on other knowledge. Once I have enough gear to fine-tune a mech, some detailed heat readouts would be nice to know how many rounds I can alpha-strike, run+fire a subset if weapons, etc.
I was doing that until I started actually looking at the heat each weapon was generating and noticed the entire heat scale was off from what I knew
