1 AV player, alone, should be able to negate the value of one player in a tank.
Given the difference in price between a cheap tank and a cheap AV fit (minimum of 70,000 ISK vs. minimum of NOTHING AT ALL FREE STARTER FIT), as well as the difference between a high-tier tank and a high-tier AV fit (potentially as much as 500,000 ISK vs. around 200,000 ISK), it's reasonable to expect that the tank CAN survive when piloted competently against an equivalent level of AV weaponry. At the moment, Standard HAVs are balanced as almost-Prototype in capabilities, and Militia aren't far enough behind. Standard HAVs need to be where they are as long as there are no more powerful options, but Militia needs at least a small nerf to make it feel like a significant upgrade when you unlock the improved models.
Also, if you want AV players to actually devote themselves to AV, they need to be REWARDED for their efforts - just like everyone else is. We need WPs for damaging vehicles - this could come with a reduction in WP reward for the actual kill. Instead of 150 for vehicle destruction, you could only be given 75 or maybe even 50 WP, but with 25 WP for every 1000 HP damage dealt to the target. (NOTE: numbers are made up and not necessarily indicative of a sensible value). In addition to making AV a rewarding task in terms of WP earnings, it would also make high-tier tanks more valuable when killed, because of the extra damage needed to take them down. Likewise, it would make AV think more about when they attack vehicles - hitting that HAV while the hardeners are up won't deal enough damage to net you the WP bonus, but waiting until it's on cooldown means you'll rake in points with every shot. |

I don't know about Shayz, but the last time I saw this was the last time I played on my tank alt. That was a few days ago now, because I've been busy with Armored Core, Dragon's Dogma and Strider lately. |
