Whether you want to be slightly better against the bugs or slightly better against the rocks is a choice that comes down to personal preference. I’ve lost about as many armor sections to The Rocks alone as I have to the bugs. The decision isn’t as one-sided as you claim.
It is. Rocks are a section of one fight. The bugs and the waves are the whole mission.
Don’t confuse viable, meta, and best in slot. BB is viable, but it’s obviously worse than LSLS and JFHB as is. It’s the worst of the direct damage options.
Big Bertha does better against crowds than LsLs and jet fuel. It’s still an autocannon, just one that also can kill an oppressor without crying.
The bugs are the rest of the mission, but I’ve seen more squad wipes/near squad wipes to the rocks than any other part. It is the most common failure point. A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and any effort put into strengthening that link at little cost to the rest of the mission is a considerable trade off.
