Armored Fighting Vehicle Can Not Damage Another AFV

Looking at the weapon stats vs armor for the AFV on page 139 of the main rule book 2.0 it would seem that it is incapable of damaging another AFV.

Did I miss some rule that makes this no so?

With the correct damage amount (CSC says 6D, not the 1D my core book lists) and armor piercing discarding sabot rounds (CSC, AP 18), the AFV can potentially damage another AFV, at least from the back. AP 18 reduces the rear armor to 32. Burst fire for 6D+3 (average 24) plus Effect. Some damage can potentially get through if you have a high enough Effect or roll high enough on the damage roll.

The real question is, why is a TL 12 combat vehicle armed with a TL 6 weapon?
 
I think you are right.

But the AFV is not a tank, it is an armoured personnel carrier with an anti-infantry auto cannon. Something like this?

The rules for that kept changing during the playtest, getting more flawed with each iteration. So the only answer is maybe...
