With the nerf to the hardeners, blasters are getting close to what they were in 1.6, capable of slaughtering both infantry and vehicles.
Vehicle vs vehicle was almost balanced (aside from the large railgun), but the hardener nerf broke whatever possible balance there could've been with a proper railgun nerf.
Before, with my 60% resists, I could easily regen almost directly through the majority of a large blaster turret's DPS, allowing me to sit and reload one, two, and even three missile volleys (in the extreme cases) while that blaster tank shot at me. Now, my shield drops much more quickly and I barely have enough time to even get a second missile volley out.
If blasters are to be anti-infantry, they must have close to zero AV capabilities. But now their AV abilities have been dramatically increased and are close to 1.6 blaster Maddy levels where blaster Maddy > all.
CCP, I urge you to undo the hardener nerf and look at other ways to solve the infantry vs vehicle imbalance, because vehicle vs vehicle was NEARLY BALANCED with the only thing being OP was the large railgun.
Now, vehicle vs vehicle is thrown back into disarray, railguns are still OP and even more lethal now, and large blasters have seen an increased AV effectiveness as well while keeping their deadly anti-infantry abilities.

Benjamin Ciscko wrote:Rail damage/Missile damage mods are even more effective now what's your problem?
My problem is that I still need more than one volley to take out most tanks, while I go down more easily. So I still need the same amount of time to pop them while they need less time to pop me.
And no I'm not fitting a damage amplifier as I'll get 2-3 shotted by a railgun now. I'm fitting for max EHP to give me the chance of surviving one more railgun shot and possibly escaping to safety.
My damage amplifier fit has become incredibly situational now.

Because blasters > infantry. And if blasters > tanks, then blasters > all. I don't think anyone wants to return to 1.6 where blaster Maddy > all.
