Armor has always been superior, CCP need to fix the way shield regens so it becomes a bit more viable, the delay should kick in the moment damage is first applied, then rep through damage like armor reps do.
I mean armor has the ehp and the constant reps, whats competitive about that?

It is a little ridiculous, I felt 1.8 pushed the Caldari vehicles a little infront of the Gallente in all honesty, majority of other tanks I fought were shield tanks instead of armor heavy ones which is a massive change considering the fights before 1.8
Its just community response to game changes. Gunloggis in 1.7 could rock a large extender and 2 hardeners and with good mod management be nigh unbeatable, after the changes however it shows just how much an advantage having ehp is, triple reps being the most obvious abuse of the fact.
At the very least the situation has many missle HAV become a bit more easier to field, alpha salvo being able to swap armor HAV outright. 2/3 missles miss the mark however a triple rep HAV will laugh at that **** in seconds and be at full health. Honestly have no idea what CCP is doing with it.
Right now it is better of fitting a Sica with 2 damage mods and a rail at MLT level than it is than fielding a decent Gunlogi rail fit, you get the same results for 1/5 of the cost.
Imo HAV needs to go back to 1.6, currently they are too simple and fall into FOTM standards as soon as CCP alter something. MLT Sica/Soma will trash proto squads, STD AV is still useless against them.
Caldari Vehicles still have their uses, but the Gallente can field better variants because of the hardener nerf and the fact ehp will win all stand up fights.
