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.

That harvester laser's damage range must be massive. Also still having fun.

Get the anti-tank emplacement and give it a whirl. I think it was made with harvesters in mind.

I'm pretty sure they intentionally scrambled the meta with the new faction and I like it. It's forcing me to try new loadouts I otherwise never would have considered.

Yeah, I play with 3 friends and we chose to go into the update blind without watching the promos or the warbond first. It was a blast figuring out what worked and didn't from scratch before checking out online discussion and seeing if we missed anything aince there are a ton of options!.
