So when would this tank ever want to fire it's main gun as opposed to missiles?

Thinking about the missile vs main cannon issue...
Make the main cannon a energy weapon. That way it gives you an advantage over those that have anti-projectile MODs.

I've just notice the missile profile has changed.
The Vehicle Medium Missile profile has increased the AP to 2...

From the perspective of the model I would say it had light missiles and coming back to my theory on the model having an "abstract" capacity for damage output I would also restrict it to just one missile statistic.
It is interesting to note that when I started Gruntz I was only going to allow one main weapon and a secondary system. Then I adjusted based on feedback about needing to list every pod on a vehicle and the result is probably too much damage output on one entity on the table. It works if the other players is also packing a set of equivalent builds but it does make one strike kills more frequent which is not a game style I would enjoy i.e He who hits first wins. I prefer a gentler game, but it is a personal preference and I took the decision not to restrict designs.
It might actually just require a higher or incremental addition for the increased weapon mounts to make it more prohibitive to take 3 or 4 main systems. I will have a think.
