This is my loadout for the Lightning with the L100 Python Heat.It is set up as mainly anti infantry with thermal optics and radar.Note with thermal you have to get in quite close, hence the radar. This helps avoiding getting C4'd, but means sacrificing the Auto Repair.
I have not used the Vanguard much and thought I would take it out more often.I'm fairly successful with my Lightning setup, so I thought to go with something similar with the Vanguard.
Because I'm using thermal optics with radar again, means sacrificing Auto Repair hence my choice of Fire Suppression.Which in turn means I can't use the Vanguard Shield
Again, an anti infantry set up.
For weapons I thought a combination of the Titan-150 Heat and Halberd or Enforcer ML85 would be good.I find the Heat for both tanks a good compromise.It has good splash damage for infantry kills, and quite hard hitting against vehicles.
I was interested to find out how others set up their Vanguards. There are so many variants for differing objectives.
I will continue to go for infantry though.
