I dunno...Haywires take down tanks pretty good...not to mention The Dawn Blade (and a few other melee weapons in 40k can do it, but the power/chainfist is by far the most common)
but DUST's melee in general needs looked at (I say as someone who uses it fairly regularly now), while I like being able to 1-2 punch suits...which is very useful for clearing logi'd sentinels off meatgrinders, the speed at which I can get off punches and the number of punches that I can do in a row (using a Calmando) seems fairly ridiculous even on the dropsuit scale, let alone if I was doing my full now 1114.5 damage per punch vs a tank

Thaddeus, it's arguably more optimized on the MinMando with the recent stamina module buff (stamina pool + stamina recharge rate). It's more easier to recharge between sprinting and melee--key to a brawler build.
There are still a lot of factors which offset the CQC killing power of the brawler bunker buster that the community meta needs to catch up with in dealing with them.
I think my point was that even using a sub-optimal fit, I am maintaining hard-hitting power, with plenty of capability of follow-up attacks...and I'm not saying it needs a heavy nerf...but like many people, I feel that Myos should have a stamina cost increase associated with both punching and jumping (not necessarily a proportional cost increase either...just something to offset it)
