At the same time though I don't want MAX suits set up to take down aircraft then just mow down infantry almost as well as dedicated any infantry suits.

Well, this being SPAACCEEEE and all, we could presume that most anti-personnel rounds are designed to penetrate the armor that the factions wear. Flak rounds are designed to explode, in order to pepper targets with shrapnel.
By not exploding, and without the necessary designs to effective penetrate armor, it's basically just pounding them with sheer brute force, which is significantly reduced by their armor.
That I could understand. But if someone survives a direct hit with an anti-tank shell...I'm going to be skeptical.
