You can afford 3-4 militia tanks per battle (65k for mine with no BPOs equipped), and if you lose more than two you're doing something very wrong or the enemy just has their **** in order.

You're a good player...good enough that I think you've lost perspective on what the game's like for players in not in the upper echelons. I'd estimate that the lower half to two thirds of players in any given match get payouts around 160k to 180k...and no one's going to run an unfitted HAV, so militia fits actually cost ~80k. That's two per match, and palyers in the unskilled-average range can easily lose 3 or 4 per match. Militia is, and should be, priced for scrubs.

My all militia tank fits are 65k, personally.

If they're gonna be priced for scrubs, then they shouldn't be statistically similar to standard tanks. Either they cost more and retain their usefulness, or the keep the minimalist price tag, and lose out on effectiveness.

RDVs are a failed experiment - can't we just remove them from the game?

Either they cost more and retain their usefulness, or the keep the minimalist price tag, and lose out on effectiveness. I'd much prefer that (the nerf, that is). If you raise the price, you create too high of a barrier to entry for new players, or players new to HAVs. And then you end up back where we were before...tanks were a novelty on the battlefield. Clearly, some people want this to be an infantry-focused game, but I love the mixed arms thing that's going on now. RDVs are a failed experiment - can't we just remove them from the game?
