Suggestion for balancing the Vehicles without breaking gameplay

Now I quite like the offensive vehicles on the Moon map but quite understandably a lot of people get frustrated when they get killed by a Pike or an Interceptor (myself included but it doesn't bother me too much). I have two small suggestions that I think will make the vehicles less of a pain to deal with, without breaking them so that they're useless. With the Pike, you can fire continuously for a few moments and then it "overheats" and the rate of fire slows considerably. I'd suggest shortening the time that you can sustain fire before overheat so people have more of a chance to avoid fire and fight back. With the Interceptor tank you fire rockets mounted on the left and right of the vehicle. I would suggest slowing the rate at which the rockets fire ever so slightly which would give people more time to fight back between shots. [b]Perhaps[/b] also slowing the projectile speed of the fired rockets, though I fear that could defeat the purpose of the tanks making them useless (if the rockets travel too slowly you'll never be able to hit people at range and you'll be a sitting duck). Finally, a few tips for defeating vehicles in the Beta at it's current state. -Wait on the edges of the map with a sniper and snipe the drivers out of the vehicles. If you're feeling brave you could also probably snipe them out of their vehicles at medium range with one of the primary weapons -Ambush vehicles from within buldings/round corners with a Rocket Launcher -Use the turrets positioned at a vantage point over each of the capture points on Moon. These turrets are very powerful and accurate (despite the lack of a zoom) and offer a fair amount of protection from head-on incoming fire (you're only exposed from the side/back of the turret - it takes sustained fire at the front of the turret to kill you as there is glass in the way) People on the vehicles have zero protection from incoming fire other than the mass of the vehicle and the big guns strapped to them, making them quite easy to shoot off when you're not being shot at by them, haha.
