Yeah that's a tricky loadout for a Commando. A STD150 with no extra HS might put you in a spot. Buying a STD200 would put your top speed ~130KPH, and give you 2 extra internal HS, but would increase tonnage by 5t (a STD150 weighs 6.5t, and a STD200 is 11.5t). Then you would still need to stick 2 DHS somewhere to fit out the required 10 HS. Best bet is probably to save up for a 200XL which weighs only 7.5t (1 ton more than a STD150).

Of course, I really dislike commandos in general as taking one means the other team gets a Jenner or a Raven which are typically better (and heavier) light mechs, but Commandos will be more useful once matchmaking is based on tonnage limits rather than weight-class matching.
