Let me get this straight. Despite the fact that it is almost universally
agreed on this list that it is too easy to take down titans with infantry,
you are arguing that the anti-infantry/point-defense wepons should be
WEAKER? Give 'em 360, or make it very clear that they may be used against
anyone close assaulting the titan.
