I think I would agree there, allthough whether is a good decision or
not I dont know.

I have felt the same about some previous answers but they are
supposedly subscribed to at least 3 mailing list and have other work
to do so not surprised if they dont have time to consider them that
well. I know I still have lots of other messages to wade through and
dont answer as many as I would like because of time problems.

I think this sounds fair enough as a house rule. You could make it 2
Blast Markers per Heavy Weapon rounding up or down.
I think they should be affected but not as much.
Maybe you could make superheavy weapons also put increased blast
markers against super heavies ie reduces the problems o that one shot
from my ork boy stops your Titan firing but Titan vs Gargant would
still be same. Would have t be classed as house rule tho. I would be
interested if someone could play test this or let me know if you are
using it how well it works.
