This isn't World Of Tanks. And we aren't turning this into Tank 514. You can't be the "end all things" class on the battlefield.. Every weapon, suit, role, and class needs to have it's strengths and weaknesses. You cannot be effective at both Anti-Vehicle and Anti-Infantry. Having both leads to an imbalance.
you will notice that only like 3% of us support being the only counter to ourselves....
but seriously... I didn't expect this to escalate this slowly, I thought the shitstorm would start on the 1st page

I didn't expect this to escalate this slowly, I thought the shitstorm would start on the 1st page (Please tell me, must you use so many line spaces?) And you also can't be the best counter to yourselves as well. So yeah that encompasses about the other 97% of HAV Pilots. If HAVs are the best counter to themselves, then make infantry the best counter to themselves. You can however, be an equal counter to AV.
if both tanks and av are equal against tanks, then why skill into tanks when av can do the job just as good at a much, much cheaper price?
by making infantry equally effective against vehicles as tanks are, your basically making this call of duty 514 because everyone will go towards the infantry side because its cheaper, and far more efficient.
the only way to balance it out truly is to make vehicles the best counter to itself, but have av as an alternative that's not as powerful but is still effective.
enemy vehicles get suppressed by friendly tankers, friendly infantry is free to hack objectives and get the small ground work done. the tanks do the enemy suppression and destruction and infantry still get their jobs done. with av on the field, there is no reason to bring in vehicles because mainly... well... vehicles are ****.
