Just for the record, acording to the notes on the MAX, the Double fire rate applies to all 3 configureations.

This is just speculateing, but here goes:

The anchoring will help a lot in the AA role because they will have a greater damage outputt in general, and hence you can take out more aircraft faster.

Plus, the mosquitoe is so fast your movement probably wouldn't help you dodge bullets, and the reaver's missles are spash damage anyways. As for tanks and buggys, a couple of AT MAXes could do major damage very quickly.

However, when fighting infantry (infantry is slower than vehichles) your mobility will have more of an effect on how easy it is to hit you.

In conclusion, I think you are compleatly wrong about the anchoring only being useful for infantry fighting, in that mobility will make more of a difference when fighting infantry than vehichles.
