That's pretty ******* sad.
However Tanks are way ******* out of control. A FIX is required to make both worlds more viable. Selling out? It's like waking one morning to go to work and there's bits of your car missing, it's apparent that it'll be in the shop for a weeks. Calling work crying about it, we just found another way to get to work. no, you stole someone else's car and then claimed to be a hero for it. Sorry, but the 7 months of AV centric tank "balance" means that AV should get to deal with a bit of seeing what its like to be the one legged man in an ass kicking contest. that feeling of uselessness? of helplessness? That's what tankers felt for 7 ****ing months of nerf after nerf. you get one nerf and you go scrambling to find whatever is OP and spam it.
Someone wasn't here for Chromosome and it shows.
During those terrible dark days (most of 2013) there was an armor tanked HAV fit that could solo an iFG comfortably at any range. If you want to compare melodrama Heavies had it worse against Slayer Medium Frames, Dropships just as bad, and Light Frames ten times over. None of those three have ever had a time they were OP while HAVs have enjoyed that three times now in Dust history.
Here, have some candy and a Like. :-)

I've been around since second round registration of closed beta, missed the first round email by 24 hours.
Pre Great. Missile nerf I never considered the Large Missiles OP. They were terrifying and got infantry kills but they were manageable if one played smart and reduced taking risks. My guess is they were part of the collateral damage over the Small Missile hate, which I'll admit I abused with dropships. Although some people I've talked to in the past have the view they were OP. They weren't in my opinion since such HAVs didn't assure victory nor did they outperform all other weapons on the leader boards.
The three times HAVs I'm referencing were: closed beta during the scarce resource high-hurdle time when only the most dedicated gaming maniacs were able to build up the SP and ISK to get in them, the bricked-blaster-HAV of Chrome (go back to the posts at the time to see all the hate on these forums), and the last being Uprising 1.7 since a HAV is the question and answer for everything except hacking.
Everyone has had bugs. In closed beta I had Forge Gun shots magically pass through HAVs, in Chromosome the direct-hit-no-damage glitch was a weekly occurrence. By the way that one is back. During Uprising I knew two people who quit the game mid-year because it stopped registering Sniper Rile shots. Right before open beta there was some kind of wired glitchyness with Blaster Turrets.
