Harvester inconsistency? (sh.itjust.works)

Has anyone else had issue with nigh invincible harvesters marauding through all manner of bombardment? Shield down, I've seen them take every orbital and eagle without being destroyed. Not all at once, mind, but I have seen them take more than a factory strider and walk it off without even losing a shield antennae.

I've bullseyed one with a RR rocket and a full commando and they kept coming.

Any tips? I know the legs are a weakpoint but I don't seem to be hitting the right places. Laser cannon is the only reliable weapon I've found but requires multiple cooldown periods to fully cook one which is just too much time.

It seems like right where the legs connect to the base is the biggest weak point, I have definitely had some take more than others, one had a 500kg impact and stick to its leg without a shield and lived, but for the most part I just spray the leg connections with the HMG until they’re on the ground, pick one connection and try to stay on it, RR to the bottom of the base is usually pretty reliable as well.

Can confirm, I normally run around with the medium MG and that's where I aim. With armor that reduces recoil when crouched/prone I can drop em in about 1/2 to 2/3 a box pretty consistently.
