Remember that these troops generally only acted within built up areas
where anti-personnel work was extremely difficult - also anti tank
weapons were only minimally effective against Mechs due to the ablative
nature of the armour used - SGII armour is all or nothing (and I usually
get nothing :-}) and your basic missile or rocket launcher does a pretty
damn good job on just about any vehicle - walker, crawler or floater.
