And I maintain - Orkans, tarans, and the rest require ABSOLUTELY NO SKILL (Or at least no more than a hydra) to get a some damage. At the very least you can trade bots with the enemy. You just need skill to be EFFECTIVE with them - to kill more than one bot, because at that range you get hit and die. Midrange weapons, however - like hydras - are not in the line of fire, and so can survive for much longer if their pilot chooses to hang back. And surviving is part of what determines your damage.

Also, if you believe that they require no skill to use, and that they harm you anyways - then that means that skill-less players, who otherwise would be useless on the battlefield, can at least do something to help you.
