Sorry to bring up such a long, strung out nightmare, but one of the things that a group of players always asked for was a fix to tanks...
Pre 1.7 we had problems:
Broken hit detection
Zero rendering
Randomly blowing up
Invisible swarms
Glitched modules
What we have was:
OP Lg Blasters
AV nerfed to the ground
Broken railguns
Still random blowups
Falling through the map
Terrain spots that take half our shield
No incentive to invest SP or ISK
No vehicle locks still... and so on
1.7 never fixed anything tankers actually asked for. They just hid them under severe nerfs and buffs. And now tanks are more broken than they were, at least they don't cost an arm, leg, and 1st born anymore.
So, I ask the devs to please fix tanks, AV, and balance the two instead of trying to pull wool over our eyes.
Also, just want to add. You know something isn't right when the Caldari Tanks are the ones using armor plates rather than Gallentes...

Remember that 1.7 wasn't a fix for vehicles.
It was a specific set of Ganks into the back of Tankers because CCP/Shanghai didn't like how we played tanks. We were bad little Mercs. So they got out their favorite tool - the shiv - and ganked us right through our tanks. Now we have to play nice. Sort of. The forums as still filled with QQs from the anit-tank crowd and the AV I have Proto so I get to kill a tank with one shot crowed. Most come from Mercs that have 0 SP spent in HAVs.
Tanks are still fundamentally broken but then so is most of the game. Hit detection, guns that don't fire and won't reload are not limited to tanks. Terrain has actually gotten worse since 1.8 dropped which makes me wonder what happened. Maybe they recalculated the mesh, either way now we are losing shields again and even tanks from time to time. Just by driving a tank forward. I also notice more texture leaks than in the past. Blue lines that flash in and out are common now where they weren't before 1.8 which is a clear indicator of textures that do not connect correctly.
Now, the real question is: Are there any plans at all to address 1.7 issues that are still in 1.8? Personally it is hard to tell because many 1.7 problems were not addressed yet 1.8 was dropped in its imperfect state. At some undefined time in the future the entire set of medium suits will be redone yet again as the slots and CPU/PG settings were not finished. But they pushed 1.8 out anyway.
Realistically I doubt if much will get fixed over the next few months. The most important event of the year is just a little over a month away. Fan Fest is much more important than fixing bugs that have been around since 1.7 and VR will either be released or at least will have its release date announced.
Welcome to Dust. 
And so it goes.
