Small arms point fire weapons depend upon the users quality for their
range
bands.
Heavy/class-1 weapons use 12" x target size for their range bands (eg:
size
5 MBT target = 60" range bands on the SG table).

This makes a big difference to the range die; at 24", a regular unit are
in
their third (d8) range band against a size-2 truck, but a heavy weapon
is in
it's first (d4) range band against the same size-2 truck.
With that sort of range die, even no firecontrol (d4) + green quality
(d6)
is very effective.
I find heavy weapon units good to hide green troops in (until they
Panic...)
as infantry targets are size-1.
