Don't see what the issue is truthfully.

For shooting with Heavy vehicles you are explicitly told they are treated as having remained stationary.

Yep, when you move a heavy vehicle 6" it is actually combat speed; yet when yo ufire you still count as stationary. Ditto DS.

**Super Ready**

Specifically - you count as having been stationary *for the purposes of shooting*. It's more specific than the blanket cruising speed status.

When a vehicle moves up to 6", it is moving at Combat Speed. However if it's a Heavy vehicle, it counts as not moving at all, for purposes of how many weapons it can fire.

When a vehicle Deep Strikes, it counts as moving at Cruising Speed. However if it's a Heavy vehicle, it counts as not moving at all, for purposes of how many weapons it can fire.

This is the basic concept of how all special rules work; a specific exception to a more general rule.
