God forbid vehicles might actually get good at killing infantry. Jeesh that would be terrible. The game might start to feel a bit like battlefield, OH THE HORROR!!!
It's probably so low because you could fire a half dozen missiles into a building and quickly add up the damage for anyone unfortunate enough to get caught.

That's a bad thing right?
If Large Missiles are supposed to be direct damage dealers geared for tank busting, then they shouldn't also be infantry wreckers. The splash would give it use as a suppression platform, where it can also get kills through sustained bombardment or picking off weakened, fleeing targets.

There's no reason we couldn't have two variants of Missiles; direct damage focused with small radius and low splash for AV and lower direct, bigger radius and higher splash for AI work.
Fitting the AI Missiles should mean that you can't be as effective at AV at the same time, and vice versa. Focus on excelling in one aspect/role but sacrifice in another.
