If that is the role you want for this tank, then upgrade the sponsons to plasma. The argument could be made that this is a tank for heavy infantry and light vehicles. I am going to call this like the punisher, and say the game is volume of fire. A little more dakka can't hurt so a stubber on top. Going with the cover save theme, I am going to call Heavy flamers in the sponsons, and hull. At 6s - 4ap this is also an anti infantry tank. No cover saves, (hah take that Marine, now you have to use your armor). Hull and sponson heavy bolters, with a stubber on top. This tank is all about volume of fire, so all the weapons should follow the theme. Also nice all weapons have the same range. Since this is mostly an anti infantry tank, I am going to say heavy bolter on the hull and a stubber on top.

I really think this tank is just shouting out for the sponsons to also carry plasmas. This variant is going to be a top pick for dealing with MEQ infantry, and will also do a passable job on light vehicles.

With the new Codex, 252 Leman Russ Load-outs are now possible.
