The 80gj compressed particle cannon with damage mods, a heat build up reduction module, fitted onto a MLT tank sitting on top of a hill.
Fact is the swarms as well as AV grenades will be completely useless with that kind of damage and range, and the only way to kill a tank would be by following it in an LAV while the tanks retreating for cooldown on its hardeners, except the charybdis will be removed so no LAV will be able to follow any tank and survive.
Also the FG is almost guaranteed to have a similar nerf to uselessness by the time these changes are implemented.
SO!
That leaves 2 more reliable ways to kill tanks, large blasters & rails. To use a blaster means to go toe to toe, requiring a better tank than your enemy. That requires millions upon millions of SP, so not an option. Thus we're left with rails. Using a 80gj compressed particle cannon with heat build up reduction modules seems to be the best way to go, as it doesn't require you to be specced in more than necessary, and will allow a consistent way to fight back, by rail sniping.
Theres also the possibility that heat build up reduction modules will be some of the modules removed initially, if so, the normal 80gj particle cannon will be far superior for this purpose.

Banning Hammer Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1976	Posted - 2013.10.26 11:28:00 - [4] - Quote That is like saying ; Hop in your left foot twice, then 3 times in your right foot, turn around 5 times to the left, then 10 times to the right, jump 2 times, kneel 3 times, pick your nose, scratch your ass, drink a glass of water outside down... an then shoot. Why can we just have an AV weapon ? You know... something that you shoot, and destroys vehicles .

If we had WP for more than just killing tanks I would see this as positive maybe a tank suppression WP or something for damage done as scaring a tank off is also a desirable outcome. Plus non of these changes are final so hopefully CCP take a look at the feedback.

But that logic doesn't count here. A tank irl has a main cannon, and I'm sure it can kill a person. That's called logic since I'm assuming he was going to go there (as all you scrubs seem to like to), therefore, any turret we got should kill them, unless their purpose is not killing at all (like a mining laser or something). We also have man potable weapons that are made to kill vehicles, as that kind of thing just doesn't go away. But, according to the lore, a AV weapon doesn't just kill as easily as we have armor and shielding systems that negates that. So no, I don't have to go to a military forum, as that logic doesn't make sense here. Like I said, go to the EVE forum, d say that a sub cap should be able to solo a cap ship easy.

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 1895	Posted - 2013.10.26 13:32:00 - [17] - Quote With the changes to swarms, I can see a possible intention to shift AV to heavies, relegating swarms to a supporting role.
Meeko Fent expert intervention Caldari State 1298	Posted - 2013.10.26 14:16:00 - [18] - Quote Or, you POTHEAD, you, perhaps you may now need 2 swarm launchers to kill a tank. Because, with 2 swarms, you have four thirds the damage of the current swarm launcher, already which one can solo a tank with. Get a buddy.
