They are not OMG OP.

Now currently armor tanks speed up to fast. And on top of that if you throw on a nitro mod they gain insane speed up time.

They need to cut the top speed in half and then lower there over all speed up time and it will fix most problems with armor tanks.

Armor tanks do have a big advantage because of this on infantry they do not really need hardeners because they can get out of town in no time. along with a constant repping of 100+ HP per passive armor repper. That always runs.

I can 2 clip a armor tank with a proto missile turret while running a damage mod. Without 2.5 on a well built one. Missile tank vs blaster tank equals win because it does not do enough damage to stop the shield regen when running a hardener. But if you run into a maddy running rail it is a battle bec ause the damn rail stops the regen on your shield. so it comes down teeth bared.

Missile turrets have to be direct hits or else you have to be hitting right on the toes of infantry to kill them so kind of sucks in that aspect. Along with missile turrets have the damn turn rate of a rail well a little faster but not much.

I feel shield tanks are in a amazing place right now. You got shock factor and can get out of the fight to regen. But if someone is smart and has a advantage on you as you leave the combat zone without hardeners they can pop you very very quick solo.

Forge gunners can still camp roofs so you get 2 proto forges on a roof and your ****** because they can cover the whole map while you can not do **** back to them.

So the major issues currently are:
*Armor has insane top speed
*Armor also has okay acceleration add in the nitro mod it makes it better acceleration then shield tanks
*Shield lack lower mods. Really nothing worth while to use. Makes it boring in that aspect. Would not mind a small percentage decrease in speed and handling if they brought back nano fibers for shield tank that put them little above what we have now. But of coarse other mods need to come out to make it a choice between them.

You are stoned. Even when they don't run you can't touch them.

They are fully repped before you can get your next volley off.

They are better than they've EVER been and they are cheaper than proto suits.
