This is a turning point in the history of dust. SOMEONE TAKE A PICTURE! It's not that they're OP. They excel at exactly what they are supposed to do and don't do anything else. That's "balance". But the game mechanics are what make them feel "OP" when you're on the other hand. Changing the rules is better than nerfing tanks because if I know tankers, we'll stay OP as long as we exist. I just feel like this tank spam is the same kind of problem as duvolle spam last build in pubs.
Admittedly I feel this is true. the ending days of 1.6 were my best days of tanking ever. I don't really think people want me to go back to that set up.
I don't mind the changing up of rules and tank costs to be more in line with their value on the map, however I don't feel tanks need nerfs, they could be repurposed, or have their roles on the map redesigned.
However people in this game are knee jerking when they seem Soma coming over the horizon....which isn't a product of the original tanker player base....we are using our Maddy or Gunlogi....its the by product of infantry wanting to get even more kills then claiming its another part of the player base causing the problem.
To a Texan like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Gunlogi.

We just had an HP nerf, you know how you don't see 6753 Maddies rolling around anymore with equivalent resists..... that's about a 2000 Armour HP nerf against my tank and the loss of my active reps. Exchanged so I could have resistance and high EHP for the space of 30 seconds.
I do feel infantry need a way to trap tanks though, like the standard tackle an EVE ship might run, so that a clever player can "capture a Tank" for X seconds, or over load modules, etc so AV units have the 6 sec they need to put 3-4 Swarm volleys into my vulnerable 4000 Armour hull.
Or 3-4 Forges on a marauding Gunlogi laying waste to the teams armour tanks.
