DUST Search - I miss my tank feeling like a tank.

Anyone who ran a 120mm plate heavy eff. rep 3 carapace harderners armor tank knows that av was not OP at all in 1.6.
Hell even the people inexperienced enough to be running the 180mm plate heavy rep pg exp 2 carapace hardener tanks knew av wasn't op at all.
But all the super scrubs that ran anything different kept complaining that they were getting raped by AV that had 3x as much as SP in their fits as the scrubs did in their tanks.

My friend was kind of crappy at tanking and always said av was op, then I helped him with fittings and also would sometimes rep him in my charybdis. In the course of two weeks he was astounded that we were sponging av from half the enemy team with 2-4 consistent proto av as well.

Av was not op.
It was retardedly easy to go 30+/0 consistently in 1.6 and before. And now its even easier.

There was one thing that was op though, which was prof 5 triple damage modded swarms, because swarms did glitched explosive damage that did way more than it was supposed to, which led to 4.4k damage per volley to unhardened tanks.

I wouldn't mind going back to 1.6 vehicles if the shield booster and large missile turret mechanics were kept from 1.8, in addition to slightly higher shield tank acceleration than that in 1.6. I think we can all agree shield tanks and missiles were underpowered when compared to their respective armor counterparts.

Yeah once I had a friend repping me almost 100% of the time with his Charybdis and I was in my Falchion. Towards the end of the match we were redlined so I was on a hill and he was hiding behind it while I was simply soaking up a squad full of AV with proto swarms and a forge gunner. Each time someone fired I'd shoot a volley of missiles at them and kill them and they'd keep spawning in trying to kill me. Finally at the very end they dropped an OB on me and due to partly my fault in choosing the wrong direction to flee in, they managed to kill me.
