This would be more in line with my problems actually.

I agree here. That's one of the reasons I was pissed off about the
introduction of the Mega-Gargant and the Imperator, even though it turns out
the Great Gargant is better than a Mega for the points. A Titan should still
be relatively immune to infantry fire IMO. It should take heavy anti-tank
weapons and other titans to take them out.

I always thought that Titans should be tough enough to make a single,
successful overrun type attack if properly supported. That would be in
keeping with armored units.
