Okay a lightning is a light tank. That's great. It's less than a large tank and because of that it has both a cannon and a gatling gun. AV and AI that are balanced.

Limited rockets and they'd be fired all at once rather than one at a time is how I'd prefer. Taking it all into account they'd do more DPS than an AV max up close, but less as the range falls off. Regarding AI I'm not sure it would be all too effective. I was imagining them using their armor piercing guns to shoot infantry but they wouldn't be that effective. As in they could kill stupid infantry that get close, but they aren't really going to be sniping infantry. Their accuracy wouldn't allow it. I'd assume the rockets would be more effective at damaging infantry from afar or close when not using them to kill armored targets. (Their guns allow allow them to take shots at infantry).
As I said this all comes down to balance and the types of weapons. An AV max would still pose a threat to the vehicle. Remember to keep in mind though that AV maxes can go inside and strafe inside doorways where a mech can't go.
