Because two, three guys with rifles could pop a tank in one clip?

Seems like your looking at this from only one angle. do tank shields use different technology? Are the metals used in the hull unavailable for use in dropsuit armor?
The numerical values for HP are an arbitrary representation of strength that can be scaled.
OK, all infantry weapons are 100% effective against vehicles now. Great. In exchange, all vehicles have fifteen times the health and Forge Guns, Swarm Launchers, AV Grenades and all turrets gain 1500% effectiveness against vehicles, because their munitions are made to penetrate heavy armor and shields.
Also, no, not all armor reacts the same to all weapons. Some armor may be almost impervious to small arms fire while a penetrating round will blow a hole in it. There are many factors in play, including density. Your problem is with the representation of this fact. I'm pretty sure an 80GJ RAILGUN shot from a CANNON the length of three men is going to deal more than 10 times the damage of a breach pistol, which is all it does now.
Also, yes, they are unavailable for dropsuit armor. Unless you're telling me that it's feasible to strap scifi tank armor to the chest of an infantryman. Plates use an enormous amount of CPU and PG to fit; one plate costs more PG to fit than dropsuits have. How would the infantryman get enough power to wield it? It's a tank. It has a generator inside it and an engine to drive it.

Also, if you think tanks having better armor/shields than infantry is unfeasible still, you must also think it is stupid that we can't strap the armor and shields of the MCC on to a Heavy and let him have ten trillion HP and immunity to all weapons except null cannons.
