The H. Destroyers might be slightly more effective than the Monolith at cracking AV12 and 13, but the monolith (61% chance of not scattering or scattering 2 inches or less) is more reliable against AV14. I'm willing to take a moderate reduction in dealing with AV12/13 things by filling Heavy slots with Monoliths instead, simply because my opponents can usually put down 3 T5 3+ wounds down easily in one turn, whereas they struggle to even glance the monolith. Most of the AV12/13 vehicles I'm worried about have low enough rear armor that I'm going after them with a Warscythe anyway. Honestly the biggest anti-vehicle hole I have is against walkers, but even then a glance will usually be all I need to disable its most dangerous aspects to me: either immobilize it or take out its DCCW.

We also have to keep in mind that as jetbikes, Destroyers are much more likely to get that side armor shot. I for one never look at a Chimera as an AV12 vehicle, because with 2 squads of destroyers it's unlikely I won't be able to see some side armor with one of them.
