TTK wasn't a design choice though. They fixed hit detection and didn't roll back all the fixes used to compensate for it.
Back on topic, are we playing the same game? Tanking is ******* amazing now. No more SP/fit > skill disparity like it's been, it's accessible to the general public instead of a select few that invest everything, those that do specialize can still be beaten, and aside from lack of racial symmetry and anti-shield AV for infantry, it's about as balanced as it's ever been. Once we get logi, assault, and scout vehicles back, I might get back into piloting/driving at some point. The only people I seem bothered by it are neckbeards that want to spreadsheet people to death.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

It shouldn't be tank stamps for everyone, if you want to be an effective tanker you should have to invest the time, SP, and ISK required to do so. Now any idiot can hop in and dominate virtually free of charge, and it goes entirely against the whole idea of having better gear and a skill tree in the first place
You sound like you expect a MLT tank to self destruct at the sight of a gunlogi or maddy. Good infantry can put in work with starter fits, why can't good pilots do the same with MLT tanks? Also, we only have what? 5% of the new vehicle content. Once more modules and higher tier tanks come in, people with more SP will have a bit of a larger advantage. Just don't expect to take on 4 MLT tanks at once.

Check the feedback/requests sticky, post #58.

I've seen you put in work, even in early Uprising. You're a good tanker. The ones who expect SP/fit > skill need to step their game up. But the beauty of it is you probably could get all 4, but if they get the jump on you, it can go the other way. It's no different from a gang of frigates ganking a battleship.
