Oh, I was sacrificing LCTs, too. And the HCT was along just to be glorified artillery, at R5 it can reliably kill pretty much any SW infantry in 1 shot with a direct hit from those, though sometimes it takes a turn or two of DoT to finish the job. The quick cooldown and reload mean that it can usually get off 3-4 shots before dying, even if it takes some fire in the meantime, and it really cuts down on incoming fire from Bombadiers, Slingers, and the like. It's also good for softening up those evil artillery trucks (Furies?), though one shot will only take off about half their health/armor.

I don't remember the last time I fired the main gun on my HCT in a real battle.
