The chargers work pretty well with a shot from the recoilless rifle in one of the front legs followed by a magazine of the primary gun in the now exposed leg.

HMG + recoilless also works pretty well, rocket in leg and 1-2 seconds with the HMG and he's gone.

Only downside is the reload time so if you have 2 or more chargers somebody has to kite them while you reload.

Aside from the HMG and recoilless both being support weapons, it’s not really feasible to use the recoilless if there are multiple of them, not to mention ammo concerns

But the HMG is not a support weapon and the railgun is? I don't quite get the point.

We can take down 4 chargers at the same time with this strategy with 2 people with recoilless. More than that and the orbital laser or railcannon have to come out.

Oh I thought you meant the machine gun as in the support weapon machine gun, my bad. Forgot about the emplacement one
