I agree, MLT tanks are a jumping off point into tanking they shouldn't be good enough to be stand alone.
points of balence:
should require sufficient AV to not be free WP
should be easy enough to take down that it encourages further skilling
STD hulls should have clear and obvious advantages in tank on tank combat.

Sorry ... there is no help out there for you. dang, you told him........ Dang he did didn't he! Here they go, completely changing the way tanks work. 3 days into it, I've lost a few tanks to MLT. Must be because I suck. (shhhh don't tell anyone) lol
I swear i lose my tanks in the dumbest possible ways.
I lost a gunnlogi to a soma because I was in first person shooting at some AV while hardened. these redberrys were a rare shade of new berry they were emptying clips into my shields and I was concerned because one of the brilliant dim bulbs got the Idea to get a swarm and pop out of cover at irregular intervals. while I was dealing with him I hardened up because better safe than sorry. my shield was still flickering at the top end because of all the small arms fire. suddenly it started flickering a little more intensely but not enough to break my regen so I figured somebody had started using a laser. I was still shooting this heavy wielding a swarm launcher(don't ask I have no idea, maybe for armor fits but even then... just i don't know). my hardener cycled off and I thought "been here long enough exit stage right, my shields started dropping I boosted but it was too late I popped. turns out the more intense flickering was a MLT large blaster, parked 3 feet behind me and I didn't notice because there was a threatening swarm launcher.
who is the scrub now?

Many people don't realize that shield tankers of past builds are just a lot smarter than the average armor tanker. This is due to having to do way more with a lot less survivable tank. To kill the old madrugers, I used every sneaky tactic to get the upper hand. Now that both tanks are viable, the rise of these players is going to evident. I cannot confirm this was me that got you, but this is a tactic I use through out every match. My goal as a tanker has always been anti-vehicle.
I chalk that loss up to a fluke. it's my first and only loss to lack of awareness usually I'm really good about that stuff. I survived 3 orbitals today alone.
I wouldn't say that anyone is "smarter" than anyone else but there are definitely playstyles that require a heightened awareness of whats going on around you, I've been a scout since like codex and if there is one thing I have learned it's that you need to know where everyone is at all times and if anyone gets the drop on you you don't have a prayer in hell.
