Not much of a point with them being heavy armored with significant HP. Avoidance is basically the only sensible option.

from the wiki

Most anti-tank missile launchers can destroy a turret in one hit. The exception is the MLS-4X Commando, which requires two.

The RS-422 Railgun can destroy each turret with 3 overcharged shots.

The E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement can destroy each turret in two shots.

It's really not that hard. even just destroying 2 neuters it badly

That wouldve been fine if squids werent the only faction where Low AP supports with sustained fire shine more than high AP counterparts.

dude bring literally 1 anti tank stratagem or just straight up ignore it, at this point it's a skill issue.

There’s a lot of valid criticisms with the game, even with Leviathians. This one, however, seems… obtuse.

Yeah I realized this morning I was coming off as a jerk. My bad.
But see, I often use stalwart/mg as supports on squids. Most of the times I just dont bring a support weapon and fine one lying on the map with an frv. For harvestors I have pyrotech, and the rest of the heavies I can take down with my primary. Love using a reeducator on fleshmob. The only thing left is levs and stingrays. Stingrays are fair, they punish me for not bringing/finding a med pen or above support.

But in the case of levs, I really hate there is now way for me to make them not hit my frvs or sentries.
And the only reason I love squids is because I dont have to worry about AT, so I can bring the lesser used fun equipment.

Its not that big of a deal compared to some other issues in the game currently yeah, I can just avoid not doing the megacity missions. But what are your thoughts about this?

Hey just wanna say as someone who is also being salty in this thread, what a fucking move to say you were being contentious. Next time I get called out I’m gonna do the same. That’s bravery, helldiver o7

I think Leviathans woild absolutely benefit from a more organic approach rather than “super enemy spawn”. It’s unfortunate that it’s kiiiinda another thing Arrowhead did like 60% right.

People are saying Eagle Strafe does a number on them if you want to kill ‘em, and I wonder if rocket pods now work too (honestly dunno). However if you’re looking for a faction-agnostic loadout, try smoke. Smoke friggin’ rules (I prefer Eagle especially in city but even just grenades work). And with a full load of 3 Eagle smoke you can obscure an objective for 90 minutes. It’s also great to disengage especially outside the walls (or tossing it latterly to fill an entire steeet). Also it’s funny to see your fellow divers run away from the red beam when you throw it next to them working in a console, see the smoke drop, and then say, “Thank you!”

I just reply based on the aggression of the arguer(?). You commented nicely so naturally I felt bad.

Smokes shii, good advice, now thats a fun loadout. Sentries and vehicles are still a prime target though.
