They should, to fine tune the above situation a bit. Inferno Cannon,
Lasblaster and Vulcan Megabolter, for example, have been designed to shred
infantry. Also, plasma weapons should be adjusted, I am sure the nice little
packet of plasma splashes nicely to cover one squad when it hits.

I like it. Should be playtested to see how it works.

Yes IF you use APFSDS or something like it. But HE is a different matter.

As I said, I like it.
