Where the SP I invested in my tree actually meant something..... where fitting my HAV was a fine art of sorts and each tank was fully customisable, and where AV, while very powerful did something to tankers and kept us on our toes......
I only hope New HAV and turrets are released to mix up the meta.

And the adrenaline flow when I knew I'm either about to lose my tank or it's gonna be really close call. What do I feel now when I lose 1 tank in a match? Nothing. 2? Nothing. 3? Nothing. 10? Still nothing.

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.

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.

CCP listened to the community and did their best to implement what we wanted. Yet another example of how our suggestions as a whole borked up the game. They changed the game because we wanted, cried and begged for it and now look at what we have. I am starting to wish CCP wouldn't listen to us and just make the game how they want like they did with chrome. You know the one time everyone thinks it was balanced and the best game ever.

They just need to nerf the rail turret. That thing is too powerful compared to where everything else is. When every putz pulls one out immediately for anything you know there's a problem.

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.

The thing about 1.7 was that the majority wasn't based on community feedback. Nobody asked for a complete redesign from the ground up.
Shield tanks were UP and there were plenty of suggestions to bring them in line with armor tanks. AV probably needed only a slight damage nerf. Instead CCP ignored us and started all over again.

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.

Of course, because you had a LLAV repping you. I too could absorb a squad of AV if I had a LLAV on me.
Also, don't give the Falchion with missiles more credit than it deserves. I had to get the enforcer skill to 4 before I noticed much of an effect against armor tanks. Missiles were still UP. I'd have to hit a Madrugar from behind and hope he doesn't activate his armor rep in time, otherwise like I said, the majority of my DPS becomes negated.
I still remember vividly this one encounter. I come across a blaster Madrugar with my missile Falchion in the hills. I get him to about 1/3 armor before his reps kick in (~2000/6000 armor left) and he only damages about one quarter of my shields (~4500/6000 shield). Now, I'm hardly doing enough damage to drop his HP. I even went down a steep slope to get out of his aim for a few seconds. I finally get through his remaining 2000 armor while I myself am left with less than 1500 shield. During the time that his rep was active, he was dealing more damage to me than I was to him. If his rep was active from the beginning, I would've lost because armor stacks more HP than shield.

Indeed but that doesn't mean we cannot look back objectively and given the 4 months or so since patch release appreciate what we had before.
As anyone knows opinions change given time and with new information. Tanking is enjoyable in 1.7-8 is it not purely a rich mans game, which I greatly appreciate, and I think is good...... but 1.6 HAV had ISK and SP to balance out HAV. Your SP meant something and gave you tangible advantages, while ISK prices were high to dissuade those who were not dedicated to their role.
Even back then when I was only rolling Soma and Low SP Maddy....I didn't care if I was beaten by someone with higher SP values, that was half the fun of tanking. Could skill see you through over SP?

You are pretty much on the same lines of foolish that Takahiro and spk4thedead of whatever.
How exactly was I going to take out a 20k shield tank with a single clip from a forge gun?
MLT tanks got 2 shot (some 3 and only a single time 4 for me). Yet a properly fit HAV could easily take upwards of 8 shots.
And this was with an ishukone FG with prof 5 and 2 complex damage mods.
Someone clearly didn't AV back then. |

I miss 'em too. Remember how we had mods that could tweak rate of fire, overheat AND damage output of our turrets? How we could choose between active damage resistance and passive damage resistance? When a shield booster wasn't completely useless? When we had fricken logistics modules for vehicles?
CCP brought about quite stupid changes. Evolution of a game should mean MORE options, not LESS.
Sure, AV was way too OP during 1.6 (it's not cool when a single basic or adv swarm launcher could blow up a tank worth half a million isk). But the tanks themselves were fun and varied.
