I've made a few suggestions in the past regarding light tank armament versatility but I might as well make another... kind of.

I propose that fighter autocannons simply be renamed to "Autocannon" and the elimination of the IFV Cannon and replace it with the Autocannon. A few changes are required for this to work. First of all, match the autocannon damage to that of an IFV or even slightly more (to make up for the loss of the IFV Cannon). This gives autocannon fighters a bit of that Close Air Support bite back.

The point of this is to give IFVs the ability to (slowly) destroy terrain and (slightly) damage enemy vehicles. Obviously they will still be hopelessly outmatched, but a bit of fighting capability other than just being instantly screwed should be given to reward skill or simple luck.
