I unloaded so many recoilless rifle rounds into a single Leviathan. No matter which weakspot I hit, it never went down. Hell, I've hit them with the orbital cannons multiple times, and still never had an effect. Their armor needs a heavy rework. Honestly they are the most bullshit vehicle enemy I have dealt with yet after 300 hours of play. I've just given up, and run away from them now. Don't think that'll go so well on the less-populated cities, where there aren't skyscrapers to block their line of sight- so I guess I'll deal with that issue when it presents itself.
You either have to hammer the main neck joint, or you expose a weak point with anti tank (wings, engine rings) and then heavy pen can follow up. Keep hitting the exposed area, and they'll drop within 6 recoilless rounds, 4 spears, ~10-14 anti tank shells, or 2 recoilless and whatever you follow up with.
They aren't really worth the fight, but we'll see what the future holds.
You gotta blow off their wings to expose the tender innards
