Heavy Tanks are death traps!  They're just glorified infantry!
Underlying logic in easy-to-digest top-10-list form:

6) Only unit in the game that becomes permanently immobilized in rubble.
5) Ogre Secondary batteries are to HVY as Anti-personell guns are to
Infantry - bolted on afterthoughts with little use other than going
after their specialized targets.
4) Vaunted D3 useless against SHVY and MSL too.
3) Have to give 1 hex/turn against everything but LT and INF, or lose
first shot.
2) the hovering hordes.
1) HVY's favorite terrain is forest, but there even lowly infantry
will beat the HVY most of the time.
