Your siganture "Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me, such is the motto of the anti vehicle infantry." is blatantly false as HAVs have never required teamwork to be effective.

when vehicles can capture objectives, go in doors, and give themselfs ammo without going to a depot or calling a new one in then they won't require teamwork, till then they do require teamwork.

You can get ammo from supply depots as well. Regarding the Rest

Drive to objective kill every one leave your tank hack objective hop in your tank drive to next objective = done no teamwork needed.

If no supply depot is near hop out of your tank throw a hive hop in again = done no teamwork needed.

But of course this would put you at risk...and is only needed if you care for winning if you don't care you can just drive around in your tank killing stuff just like a sniper that sits in the redline to get safe kills...

Would you hop out of your protosuit for some marginal gain that is likely to result in your death? No, of course you wouldn't.

And you're clearly unaware of the fact that the only way for a tank to reapply is at a supply depot.

Tanks are supposed to be able to withstand the punishment to a degree. Hence the term tank. If they could not perform their job, nobody would invest in the damn things. And no, they are not balanced. They are better. Thats entirely the point. If you want them to be more expensive, im sure that can be arranged. But they are performing at exactly the level they should. +ähm no AV is not meant to let the tank go and come back fully repaired its meant to be able to destroy tanks. Whats the point if only repell the tank for 20sec from the battlefield? The big question is how easy it shoud be. Prior 1.7 the sistance of tanks where pretty mixed there were tanks that went down after two or thrre volleys of Proto Swarms and there were tanks that could eat enough of them to be effective unless they faced organised AV. CCP should remove proto AV from the field and should restart balncing std AV vs std AV and than introduce adv vehicles alongside adv AV etc. If you want AV to only damage tanks and force them out of battle there needs to change much more. Cool down must increase drastically and no tanker should be able to recall his vehicle during cooldown or call in another one while he hides his first tank deep in the redline... From a game perspective repelling tanks would be enough but is A) not rewarding for the AV guy and B) Tanks can currently come back way too fast. If those things get sortet I ma fine with repelling them.

And you're clearly unaware of the fact that the only way for a tank to reapply is at a supply depot. I do not need to hop out of my DS I put myself at risk everytime I hack an objective or engange the enemy... Again noone forces you to leave your tank and you can use the tank at full potential without anyone else. You know I have been in skirmish matches were infantry didn't bother to hack as well. It depends on your will to win but that does not mean you need teamwork to go on a killing spree with your tank. Regarding the hives I was pretty sure they work with vehicles as well if not, my mistake.
