So now that proto swarms can no longer take out militia tanks I'm sure they'll all be in favor of a buff to swarms or a nerd to militia tanks. 
swarms need a buff, I'll say it, and be proud of it.
swarms are light weapons yet they are no good for tanking down light vehicles. they need to be faster and have a longer range as well as a damage buff, I have always see swarms and light av as a counter to light vehicles, not heavy ones. swarms should be excellent
anti-dropship and lav weapons while struggling with bigger targets. they require a small SP investment and most infantry men should have one.
what about the tyranny of tanks?? heavy assault vehicle VS heavy weapon. both require a large SP investment. the notable exception is of course MLT tanks which I think need a slight adjustment to tone down their effectiveness. there is a MLT forge and heavy combo available to every merc for 0 SP, this should be the counter argument to the MLT tank requiring 0 SP, but as I have said, the MLT tank needs adjustment.
any merc that doesn't have a MLT heavy w/ forge should make one. that's not me being a snobby tanker, thats just good advice, I'm a scout and I have one.
semi-obviously there needs to be more heavy AV to counter tanks, ask any heavy and they'll tell you that they have been starving for new equipment for builds now. for the balance I have just laid out it is critical that more heavy AV hits the field soon.
EDIT: and that heavies become viable to carry that AV as a natural counter to tanks. seriously those guys need a buff that sticks.

Also, have you seen the scrubs that call themselves dedicated AV? They wouldn't survive a day back when we had real HAV and they would probably **** down their legs at the sight of a Segaris or Surya.
I think that rather frequently...
and to be fair, of 10 fit I only ever lost 6 Suryas, those things were ungodly. the record(personal) still stands at 22 deployments without casualty. I lost 5 of the 6 to orbital strikes.
