The Heavy/Superheavy in #1 and #2 get off very lightly compared to #3 and #4.

While a case can be made that the Heavy doesn't ram as hard and so does less damage to itself, the firepower-suffered-to-damage-done ratio is significantly less than in cases #3 and #4.
I noticed that, too. We have (had?) a house rule that the Ogres took a strength-3 attack on the treads that worked OK. Ogres weren't shy about ramming buildings. It drew the ogre into a fixed position where it'd grind away on a building while attracting a lot of attention. It was fun.
