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.

Arc Blitzer is great for clearing voteless but lacks against the mosquidos and overseers so I usually pack a Senator or Grenade Gun as a secondary. Grenade gun is nice as it doubles up taking out saucers on land when the shields are down.

Someone mentioned the concussive liberator and I'm excited to try that tonight. I've been wanting something fast firing with punch to throw the heavier squids off balance. If it can down a shield in one clip I think that will be my new primary.

The charge energy rifle (next to scorcher) could be good but I'm not very comfortable with it.
