If it has a powerful enough gun it's a Dreadnought and it part of such restrictions.
Hmm... oh documentation failure. That's all legacy, I'm kind using a complicated mess of spreadsheeting to do combat things now. It's not publicly available, because it a bit messy and I do all sorts of hacks to compensate for changes in each battle. I've changed the documentation to reflect this. If you have questions do ask.
I will say that a Legionary is basically a tank, so you kill it the same way. Since it's got AMS the best way is lasers or big guns. GARDIAN laser emplacements murder Legionaries. (They also do the same to drones, tanks, infantry, and air craft).
Combat you are involved in works completely differently being a mix up of narrative, Shadowrun and/or my pretty spreadsheet.
Arguably we (the US that is) could pull those troops out these days Germany is sanish. But yeah it took a generation or more.
The really problem is how do you convince the government and the populous to support this? Modern reporting makes war and their following occupations extremely unpalatable. Long occupations suck and does the SA really want to take on the responsibility?
Well... somewhere between 1 year and a few centuries, based on ME history.
While it was never noted by previous GMs IIRC the Batarians left in 2171 or about three years ago canon wise. This quest begun ~5 years ago. I feel that it's probable that the Batarians have still left, though maybe not at the exact same time.
I was going to increase the power of ship borne lasers with the tech to represent an increase in energy density. It's probably not going to be much ~x5 I think.
That's done already to a limited degree with comm buoys. That's why the get cut ASAP. But yeah its a thing you could do.
Ablative Laser Armor would be better than Reactive, in my mind.
It's a point worth repeating. Anti-tank action will kill a Legionary. Large MA cannons, Laser weapons and anti-tank mines are all valid threats. Anti-tank missiles aren't much of a threat due to AMS, but they can cause harm past the AMS. The Legionay shrinks the fighting power of a pre-PI IFV*/Light Tank into a person sized unit.
*Not including troopers.
There are probably other ways that work that I'm not thinking of.
You have a PMC, one that has some of the best guns around. Your almost definitely going to fight in the war, even if the SA has to (politely) demand it.

. Seriously, tracks trump wheels any day with heavy fighting vehicles. For APC I can understand that. Battle vehicle which stands in combat zone full of shrapnel, trading shots? Please. Also why not repulsors? Well, I can accept repulsor lander if someone works it out but to fly tank around? We got heavy fighters.
