Just make the HMG efficacy on tanks same as other vehicles.
Why, though?

I don't think that tanks being powerful in a particular build is good justification for turning HMG's, which are primarily an anti-infantry weapon, into a makeshift AV weapon.

I don't think that tanks being powerful in a particular build is good justification for turning HMG's, which are primarily an anti-infantry weapon, into a makeshift AV weapon. It already is a makeshift AV weapon, look at the efficacy against LAVs and dropships. I just want it to also apply to HAVs, no reason why it shouldn't.
On the other side of the spectrum I don't think there's any reason it should do as much damage to LAVs and Dropships as it does.

On the other side of the spectrum I don't think there's any reason it should do as much damage to LAVs and Dropships as it does. Its a HEAVY weapon, something with fire power comparable to a vehicle turret. I think that justifies having moderate effectiveness against vehicles.
Scrambler Rifle fires lasers but still has recoil, lol. Anyway, point there is that just because it's a heavy weapon doesn't necessarily constitute that it should perform the same as vehicle grade weaponry (I'd argue that small turrets are under-performing if anything). It's sort of an argument on association with the terminology more than anything and if it's not that than it seems to be just wanting to flatten stats 'because'.
It's described as an anti-infantry weapon, performs as described and does pretty damn well at that job for all intents and purposes. I get that heavies are supposed to be powerful but they're already doing fairly well as it is. If you want to kill vehicles just switch out to a Forge Gun.
