In regards to killing Maxes with Decimators (AV) it comes down to "exposure time." To attack a MAX head on with a Heavy Assault weapon means allot of time exposed to your target, and your target has a much more bad-ass gun. With a decimator, the tactic is to "pop-out" from behind cover, aim, fire, and return to cover as quickly as possible therefore reducing "exposure time."
