Exactly, I'm having trouble keeping up my ISK using Advanced AV. I get shot at by Blasters and all the infantry... It's probably the least rewarding role ISK wise. But when I make my AV fit cheaper, I can't get the job done. Av Grenades and Swarms used to be a much more viable fit...
Lis of things that happen most of the time:
1. The tank throws up a hardener and ignores me
2. The tank blasts me and moves on
3. They run away before I can finish them off. Who runs away in a tank? :/
4. Most common, I get shot up by infantry.
So unless I'm sitting on my Nanohive on a tower where I can repeatedly back up for cover, I hardly ever get the job done. I'm not expecting to solo a tank, I know how it is, but I don't even get close. Especially when every harmful thing in the game is after me and only my "Trusty Toxin" SMG can answer. I just try and try again until someone else happens to input some damage while I'm attacking a tank. Even then the tank will turn on their hardener and run to the redline to heal.
Both my shield and armor recover 20HP/s.
Your argument is invalid.

Well this is a very interesting discussion for me, since I use HAV and AV a good amount of the time.
I've used Swarms and AV Grenades since I started playing, and before 1.7 I had an alternate where I used a Blaster Gunnlogi. As of now I'm still using my CBR7 and EX-0, and I'm recently using a large Missile Gunnlogi all in one character.
As my Missile tank, I'm pretty sure 95% of my deaths were to the ones who fear effort and put damage mods on a Sica and call it a day. Barely anyone Forges or Swarms me anymore. It's just butthurt Rail tanks and Scouts trying to stick Remotes to me. That's it. Honestly, people should use actual AV, not these easy mode tactics. Even if you don't take out a tank, getting them to activate their modules is a win, since they might not have them when they need it later on.
I'd rather get killed by actual AV than cowards who spend 80k ISK to eliminate my 200k ISK tank with no personal skill or SP required. But that's another discussion, I suppose. The situation with AV vs. HAV might change if they fix up the MLT tank price and other things.
I am an AV user, always will be, and always will I fail many times even though I'm the one putting myself at risk of everything in the game.
To sum it up, tanks should be much more fragile for their low price. Or make them expensive again and keep them how they are. Either way, how things are right now is not okay.
