Ye i had the same problem then i found
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/106/index/834703/1

which is an editor for the Coalesced file and it worked for me so give it a go and you should be able to edit it happily

Why didn't we get an option for it in the trainer? I thought they were going to add in when the patch dropped. Patch drops and still no option? Im as appreciative as the next guy but c'mon guys... this is without a doubt the weakest friggin tank i have ever been in. Wheres the tough button? Trust me we need it since the geniuses now are incorporating it in every new mission, i.e. Overlord. Please add tank invinc option.

I found this post on another form it makes the Hammerhead almost god mode.

If anyone playing on PC and have problem with the Hammerhead's toughness there is a tweak to remedy it:

In the Colaesced.ini look for [SFXGame.SFXVehicleHover] (BIOGame section in CED). There are two attributes under it:

SelfRepairRate -> higher the number, higher the repairpoint during time i.e. faster repair

SelfRepairDelay -> lower the number (floating point) the faster the repair will kick in

Actually, immunity is possible to reach, but that is not so good, so play with the numbers to find out a suitable toughness.

(For whom does not know how to edit the Colaesced, pls check the modding forum for detailes:
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/103/index/889432 )

Of course you can tweak the other attributes as well (like BoostForce), but I don;t think it is necessary.

and here is the form link
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/2891842/1#2897339

If you also adjust "rate of fire" then you'll beat most of your opponents.

[SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXHeavyWeapon_VehicleMissileLauncher]
Damage=(X=425,Y=425)
DamageAI=1.0f
DamageHench=0.35f
RateOfFire=(X=250,Y=250)

You need this for getting your game running again. Put this file i the same folder as Coalesced.ini. Run the fixer everytime you make som changes in your coalesced.ini file.

You actually only need to apply the inifixer if you change the C.ini's file size. If you change a random entry from, say, 400 to 900 then you don't have to fix it. If you change it to 1200 however, you change the file's overall size (by 1 byte) and the file's checksum will fail and the game will refuse to start. THEN you need to run the fixer. Same thing applies if you'd change the 400 to a 50. You'd lower it by 1 byte, requiring the fix to be applied.
However, you do require a sufficiently advanced text editor (Notepad++ in particular works miracles), as the regular Windows editors will screw the file up good.
As always for modding: Make a BACKUP!
