Making proximity mines relevant might actually be helpful.

The AV fix should have been soo simple.
(this is what they should have done for 1.7)

AV
Remove proto AV stats
Add 1.6 ADV AV as the proto
Create new ADV AV stats (midground between MLT/STD and PRO)
Swarmer range to 250m

Vehicles
Fix terrain damage on shield tanks
Revamp shield regen and resist to stand up to armor tanks
Armor tanks remain untouched.
Remove chardbris/limbus/abron for full make over
Create a higher base resist for dropships,making them resist reliant as apposed to skycoffins

Prices
Reduce the price of MLT chassis by 50%
Reduce the price of STD chassis by 50% (madrugar and gunny would cost 100k base)
Reduce ENFORCER tanks to 300k per chassis

Turrets
Large at proto 300k
small at proto 150k


Overview:

Armor tanks were fine, their price wasn't
Shield tanks suffered, worse reps/ shorter resist periods, worse manuevering, no bonus to using rail/missile. Suffer bad on terrain damage also.
AV all proto was very powerful, that being said proto should be a lot more effective now. In 1.6 ADV AV was actually balanced well to tanks, a **** to medium tank would have issues, A well made tank could eat some swarms but would be pushed back. The distance of swarmers was a joke and needed shortening.

Price was always an issue, but maybe if we only had to deal with ADV stat AV, the price might not have been bad (other than ADS/LDS and ENFORCERS).

Either way, tanking used to be legitimate, good tankers were good, bad tankers killed fast, great variations in build, IT REQUIRED A GREAT SQUAD TO WORK WITH THE TANK TO SURVIVE!!
That doesn't mean taking people out of the gungame, that means infantry who help call threats out and helped elimate threats.
CCP has successfully turned 95% of their playerbase into fail ass tankers who actually think they are the ones doing good, even tho its just that big lump of metal, that probably despises them more than I do.

I like it ^_^

Limit hardeners to 1 per vehicle, and nerf hardeners, half the OP gone right there.

make blasters 50% less effective vs infantry and 50% more effective vs vehicles, there goes the rest of the problem.

So you want the old hardeners back which were 25% armor resistance and 30% shield resistance except with the new timers but old fitting stats

Tanks have slots back upto old so 5/2 at least

Damage mods to go back to 10% with old fitting stats

Shield/armor extenders and plates i assume to be buffed to old stats

Skills that help fitting things? does that mean we get 5% per level to CPU/PG for the electronics and engineering skill

So then what was the point of the vehicle rebalance then? i mean i didnt ask for it but infantry did and now they dont like it

I liked it better when the graphics sucked back in chromosome. You liberals ruin everything.

I still made it work in 1.6
Besides if we got the 22 per second regen for shueld tanks id demand a respec because how crap that was

Show me one infantryman who wanted a rebalance.

I only heard tankers ask for a rebalance.
