Please let me clarify myself. I do not mean that auto cannons are never usefull, I have used them to devastating effect at times the same as you have. I mean that they don't carry enough ammunition to justify their relitvly high cost and are therefor a waste of points

We have gone off topic here but lets put things straight, firstly Andrew you have an unhealthy obsession with ammo.
Secondly why do many vehicles now carry them in place of MGs despite the fact they chew through ammo.
Better penetration & burst gives a good chance of a hit with decent fire control even vs a chopper.
They are deadly to infantry resulting in a quick kill, this means less casulties for you.
So sometimes they run out of ammo a bit quick but the enemy is in a mess, if they have a MG as back up thats fine, if not taking some APCs with MGs as backup might make sense.
My view give me something mounting a helicopter chaingun any day it smarts.
Good high tech stuff like the Swedish 904 (or something) now thats nice kills Russian MBTs from the flanks give me it over a Bradley any day. Thats just me though as prefer ATGMs on dedicated vehicles you can't play taxi & engage armour sort of a jack of no trade.
As a simple hard to beat in virtually any time frame OOB try the Brits as they do not muck about with changing force structure much. So similar force just Warriors instead of FV432s oh look at them run.
The chaingun now means IFVs are filling the tanks infantry support role & the tanks are hunting there counterparts
