I dunno. I had one tank fit that lasted from closed beta to 1.7. 3 hardeners, Plate, Repairer. When PG was nerfed, it was 2 hardeners, Plate, PG Enhancer, and Repairer.

It was simply the best option to use for my Madrugar. Now things have changed. I have more than a single fit to do different things.

CCP went from "customization with a clear 'right answer'." to "less customization but real variance."

I don't think it is better, just different really.

This, all throughout chrome and upto our last rebalance there was basically 1 fit for gunnys and 1 fit for maddys.
Enforcers were outclassed by them, while marauders were just pointless because they had barely any extra pg and no extra racialslots(lows for armor highs for shields I mean) and back then 2 damage mods with a compressed particle cannon was the magic number, which the gunny was able to do....
Seriously anyone saying there was variety in tank fits before this was one of the scrubs who though av was OP.
Nowadays its gone from those specific fits to either stack all hardeners, stack all damage mods, or if you armor tank stack all reps.
The only unique thing they've taken out so far is the ability to remote rep vehicles, which does suck but with hardener mechanics, wouldn't matter much anyways.

WHAT? That is NOT true at all. For one, the madrudger was the way to go, with a blaster no less. Those things murdered gunnlogis up close like they were nothing, and were the superior tank because of the damage it could take. I remember shooting maddies with my rail, knowing I could never put out enough damage to drop it, but I could keep it drove away.

And yes, there were mods people called, useless. I know a lot of people went with the cookie cutter fits (and there was certainly more than just 2). I myself used unorthodox fits, stacking heatsinks, or even using the nitro to dodge shots. Trust me fella, there was a LOT of diversity, just a lot of people never used them the way they were meant to be used.

They went with the "easy mode" fits.

The thrill and adrenaline in having two fully proto tanks fight each other knowing one would lose 2 mil+. ThE MASSIVE customization has gone, heat sinks, spool reduction, specialised turrets, spider tanking are all but gone. Why? Because CCP wanted generic tanks. its all gone for good, when we did have pre 1.7 vehicles, actually pre uprising vehicles, the fits and skills were closer to eve and a good pilot who be rewarded for such. All that was truly needed for vehicle rebalance was ammunition, rendering fixes and the AV damage numbers of 1.7, this meant no invincible vehicles, back flipping tanks, 4 months of AV an vehicle QQ, and still going. With 1.6 vehicles and 1.7 AV, I think that vehicles and AV would have been balanced. RIP to pre Uprising 1.7 vehicles. Why do you keep going backwards with content and progression CCP? I guess its just like how a corporate company seeking profits goes. Veteran Pilot "Fight on and fly on to the last drop of blood and the last drop of fuel, to the last beat of the heart."
