The only thing I don't miss from 1.6 is shield tanks being quite UP against an armor tank

But in return Shield tanks were very strong against infantry, and my Falchion was able to bring down Madrugars, but most of the time they had to be stupid or I had to get really lucky.

Uhm... an Ishy Assault Forte Gun would pop a shield tank with one clip...

And a breach forge gun two-shotted my highest EHP fit.

Shield tanks as a whole were UP. Armor tanks at least had god reps to save them, our passive recharge was a complete joke and shield boosters were bugged as well (they pulsed once every three seconds instead every second... I always had the feeling that someone mistakenly switched the armor rep and booster pulse intervals).

And yes their reps were that powerful. Even my proto missiles that dealt about 2300 damage or so as base damage per volley would be reduced by armor resists and then during the time it'd take to 'reload' they'd have the majority of their HP back, all while melting straight through my shields which my booster was negating only 3 out of 21 shots dealt by a blaster.

What do I feel now when I lose 1 tank in a match? Nothing. 2? Nothing. 3? Nothing. 10? Still nothing. R.I.P. Pre-1.7 Vehicles & AV, you will be missed.

It is still strong against AV, Rail Falchion with damage mods in low slots :3 BUT where is my sagaris and my surya :( They're in heaven. R.I.P. Pre-1.7 Vehicles & AV, you will be missed.

Or my 8K Shield Falchion with XT Large Missiles with 40% passive resist and LLAV backing me up repping me almost as fast as current triple rep Maddys or half of that with perma rep, or 2 LLAVs repping me twice that fast. It was glorious, I had to invest alot but it felt like I was actually gaining something with teamwork and investment. R.I.P. Pre-1.7 Vehicles & AV, you will be missed.

My Falchion took 8 adv/proto AV players hitting me at the same time to take down, or 1 Madrugar with skilled pilot. But if he was anything other than skilled my missiles would just eat that Maddy alive. My dedicated LLAV driver can vouch for me, just mail Psycho Tanker ingame, he doesn't do forums much. Swarms did like 300 per volley at proto level, Assault FG around 1000 and Breach FG like 1300-1400. Considering I was repping at 300+ or 600+ shields/s that was nothing. R.I.P. Pre-1.7 Vehicles & AV, you will be missed.
