I'm still poking around the various threads to find what this 'happypants configuration' is, but so far when I've used the AFP, it's been in a team of Deathrain suits. The two normal suits have flamers to fill their third hardpoints, and the 'Vre has twin missiles, the AFP, and a hardwired target lock. Overall, it makes for a relatively cheap team, and the combination of a long ranged main weapon with a secondary weapon which ignores line of sight has an incidental fire effect analogous to the pairing of a Railgun and SMS on a Hammerhead with Target Lock. You can fire at up to two light vehicles, a vehicle and an infantry squad, or use the flamers with the AFP for some serious horde-thinning (the target lock is nice here so that you can fire on a different target and not worry about it scattering back on you). Just my two cents; take it for what it's worth.
