I have an AV soldier, and I've tried special assault, and I prefer AV.
However, the reason is not particularly its effectiveness against tanks/Maxes(though it is good for that at range), but rather I (as an NC player) just love the fealing I get from guiding an explosive device right into someone's face. Also, the AV weapons are MUCH more effective against aircraft(particularly the stiker) than special assault.
However, I have also noticed that there are few people that use the phoenix on NC. I feal the phoenix could use a slight(noticable, but not large) increase in it's anti-infantry dammage. I consider this fair because the stiker's 3 round Magazine makes it more effective against infantry and easier to kill MAXes with at close range, while the Lancer is a nice sniper-rifle against any unit. Meanwhile, you're better off useing a pistole against infantry than a phoenix.
