In theory, if an Assault Mech was to get a decent Alpha Strike into a Raven, Commando or Jenner it should do some really serious damage. In MechWarrior 4 it did. I remember taking the leg off a light Mech using my Heavy Gauss Rifle with one shot; awesome. Unfortunately in MWO this doesn't seem to be the case, and its not just me that has noticed it; several MechWarrior's have commented that they have engaged with what should be enough fire power to core a light unit, and that it has had limited effect.
This is the flip side to your argument and talking from the point of view of an Assault Pilot, I would really like to have some sort of CIWS system to take out or at least suppress light units that catch me in the circle of death.
This is because of the turn speed, the lagshield and the double ******* armor that PGI threw on everything
**** HERPAFUCKINDERPA TABLE TOP GUYS ******
Then theres the fact that most if not all assault mechs cannot for the life of them point down so smaller mechs can just circle your knees with no reprocussion.
