I recently got proto swarms from adv, prof 2, ammo 3 and reload speed 2. I tend to get a LOT of wp from vehicle damage but hardly any kills. People like kills - they look good and are the only thing that people see of others on the EOM screen.
Often these days I don't have much time to play, so I jump in ambushes solo when I can and knowing there will probably be some vehicles in play, I'll wait until I see the RDV coming in on the map, then deploy in my 70k isk AV scout suit. It has zero tank, 2 complex damage mods, proto swarms, proto kincat and proto range amp with REs, adv nanohive and AV nades with the adv breach scrambler pistol for infantry trying to chase me down.
Even the worst pilots are difficult to kill solo. I think I should be able to kill poorly skilled mlt tanks/dropships solo with that sort of set up. Standard tanks and dropships I don't stand a chance against solo. That's not a huge deal for me but when I have at most one other teammate helping me out, we should be able to take down one of those SOBs together - nope, still barely get close. Then we get mown down by infantry who have been alerted to our presence by giant white lines in the sky pointing us out.
Balance gripes aside, I am glad to still be getting the occasional +75wp for vehicle damage but I reckon that the main reason people don't do it is that you don't get kills with AV. Even if you manage one or two lucky vehicle kills, you'd get more going anti-infantry, even if your team still ends up losing because there's a tank and ADS mopping the battleground with your bodies stuck to the front of their turrets.

Just that any tanker worth his salt will never let you get/stay close enough to get 3 REs on him and acceleration is so damn fast you'll never catch him once he starts off.
