First thing I noticed off the bat, these babies are FAST now. They've had their turn speed and acceleration knocked up HUGELY and it shows during the course of the match
Large Missiles are WEIRD. Im not sure if its a glitch or not but sometimes Im not able to put out my entire clip, like the thing just won't do it and there's some pretty serious missile drift. It's also MUCH more difficult to effectively hit infantry with the things despite the automatic fire. These are gonna take a bit of practice to get used to.
Module acivation is INSTANT, no prior delay after activating where it takes effect
We've got DISCO TANKS BACK! These things light up like crazy and the hardener effect is pretty fantastic
THEY'RE SO CHEAP!!! Before my cheapest fit would run something like 600k but a Gunnlogi with a Large Missile Turret, 2 Enhanced Hardeners, and 1 Enhanced Booster is only setting me back like 180k. THIS IS AMAZING.

NANOHIVES RESTOCK YOUR TURRET AMMO. NO REASON TO USE AMMO EXPANSION EVER/
Shield Regen is AMAZING. You can duck behind a corner and VERY easily regen all of your shields before popping back out.
Madrugars are still VERY strong. Too early to say who is going to end up winning out
Try fitting a Nitrous on your Madrugar, lololol.

They've also improved the way the Scanners work, they light up like they would if you were using an Equipment Scanner and now there's a VERY cool pulse effect to show when a Tank is using the scanner. 1.7 LAVs - Thoughts and Discussion

Nope, nitro is still alive and well though there may be an argument behind there being not as useful because of the base maneuverability on the vehicles. I can tell what they mean with the Gunnlogi having higher accel and the Maddy having higher top speed. 1.7 LAVs - Thoughts and Discussion

AV is definitely going to have to change their tactics now. Remote Explosives and Proximity Explosive damage has gone unchanged so that's worthy of note. Apparently remote explosives are able to stick to objects / vehicles now as well so that may end up being one of the go-to options if you can get the jump on the tanker before he notices you. AV Nades and Swarms aren't really a good way to start an engagement anymore thanks to the speed we now have available I think. 1.7 LAVs - Thoughts and Discussion

Can you imagine how many Nanites it would take to restock a tank?

AV Nades and Swarms aren't really a good way to start an engagement anymore thanks to the speed we now have available I think. After 1.4 I put a Swarm Launcher and Remote explosives on a Scout suit. I think it is time I get some use out of this fit. Particularly sine I need to do testing and updating for both guides. The skill behind the Swarm Launcher has always been the tactics of positioning rather than the hand eye coordination of aiming. For a while the Swarm Launcher was so powerful that positioning and tactics did not really play into it, which made them very popular, but not as much fun. I am really looking forward to duelling tanks that have the speed and power to hunt me down. More like hunting lions and less like shooting fish in a barrel. The game of Cat and Mouse begins, only this mouse has missiles and explosives.

To be fair that's with a Standard Turret, they scale up higher when using proto STD Large Missile Turret : 24k ADV : 105k Proto : 281k So running a Tank with a proto turret is going to be at least 420k (cheaper than a STD fit last patch teehee!) 1.7 LAVs - Thoughts and Discussion
