Yeah, having run this build myself on multiple occasions it's absolutely a problem. Right now a lot of the changes that went into vehicles going into 1.7 were to make them more analogous in X, Y, and Z ways to the way Dropship modules and balance were geared. ie. Much higher shield regen percentage and always on repairers but at least when it comes to Armor Repairers they repair SIGNIFICANTLY more as a function of total health of the vehicle compared to their dropsuit counterparts.
Right now I'd easily argue that Shield Regen rates are too high as a whole - the delay for when regen starts to kick up is too short - and individual armor repairers (across both Light and Heavy Reps.) heal far too much as a percentage of overall HP values of the vehicle. I'd urge for dissenters to look in the long term especially with the eventual return of logistics vehicle modules to the game, right now there's very little point in them with the current incarnation of vehicles as they repair their health pools ridiculously quickly with 0 assistance required.

Unrelated to the issue at hand, in all honestly, I'm really against a single player, no matter how dedicated to AV, being able to take on a fully proto-ed tank easily. Eventually yes, a dedicated AV should kill it eventually if not engaged or fled from, but not easily.
This has nothing to do with killing though. Do you agree, at the very least, that AV should be considered a threat to a vehicle at any point? The triple rep maddy all but IGNORES anything but organized action made by at least half a squad of AV or another tank entirely and I find that unreasonable given that the Tanker himself is a solo, infantry slaughtering, death machine. If Proto AV can't even force a retreat then why the hell bother? Hook up a double damage modded sica and stop wasting your time.
