With
vehicles, one hit results in one armour roll, so it's not as big a deal.

Yeah, come to think of it, when a vehicle is actually affected by
incoming
fire, it's either a.) disabled or b.) destroyed.

I suppose it doesn't bog the game down enough to worry about.

 I'll have to try them out.

That makes more sense, really. I think the trouble is they were written
really as HVC/1 and /2 without regards to their rate of fire.

 Yes, I agree that these weapons should impose a morale check.
