Eons - I rather disagree with your gripes on Ed6''. Open topped vehicles remain at a disadvantage in Ed7 for the same reason as Ed6. A las cannon shot pens with +1 for AP2 and +1 for Open Topped. It is harder but open topped vehicles are more vulnerable than other vehicles as ever. But the trick for Necron vehicles was to remember your Quantum Shielding. That meant a S9 weapon needed 5+ to penetrate, never a given as these were usually one shot weapons. Further, most Necron vehicles are skimmers and got the Jink rule which minimised penetration potential further.

The trick with heavy vehicles is use more than 1 and or pair them with cheap lighter vehicles with a high threat potential. Like maybe Tomb Blades with particle beamers, they can keep up with your heavy, screen it and if ignored can shoot stuff. I use jet bikes or Vypers as outriders to my Serpents, same thing.

PS With your higher than average hull points and QS you are harder to glance to death also.
