It is a placeholder. For everything vehicle.
It fulfills the role of bunker, artillery, heavy suppression, CRU logistical support, anti air, and flanking.
Tanks do not have a role; they have never had a role.
As far as AV balance, chrome wasn't too far off, maybe a 5% av DMG nerf was needed but that was it.
Tanks need to be used for killing hard targets. They should resemble heavies and have similar weaknesses such as having a very low ammo bay and being slow to regenerate HP. Their weapons should be high alpha, high DPS, slow ROF systems which struggle when fighting infantry.
Due to their sentinal-like nature, having a logistics MAV supporting them would be necessary being slower than assault MAVS, but tanker and having weaker weapons, while still being able to keep HAVs fully operational with scans, ammo, shield boosts, and reps.
LMAVs will be easy targets for everything, so having AMAVs to protect them from infantry is key. They have a lower DPS than HAVs, but have a very high ROF. Their low HP can tank moderate AV, but is no match for a tank. They slay grunts like current blaster tanks.
LAVs are scouts. They fulfill the role of scouts and tank-hunters. They can equip very powerful mounted turrets which are almost as capeable as any large turret at killing tanks. However, they are easy pray for everything except HAVs, which have very slow tracking turrets that have trouble keeping pace when being kited.
Gunships fulfill the role of vtol close air support. They have a high ROF, but low DPS weapon that has trouble taking down a HAV, but not much else. They are moderately armored, but relatively slow to react.
Fighters are VTOL light gunships which out man ever any weapon. However, their low DPS turrets are only very effective vs air targets and they have a tendency to be OHKd by anything.
Bombers are VTOL, high altitude, light armored, extremely high alpha DMG weapons platforms which are designed to destroy tanks, while being easy targets for other aircraft. They have a belly-mounted large turret for destroying targets 600m below.
