The major problem with the platform is the inability to fire over the side of the vehicle. They have a tendency to rollover when you traverse past the first wheel and fire the main gun. oops.

Interesting concept; poorly designed.
Hmm - they are credited with varying quantities of sabot in the OOBs ATM. So probably should swap sabot for HEAT then?.
