However 5 tanks on one side in a match is still dumb.
Where'd you get those games? Today was rather boring when I tanked for the first time in weeks. Only a few tanks at most to pop. It felt like a ghost town in comparison to 1.7/1.8 with all those militia tanks about. Edit: I was even in matches where there were more ADS than tanks...
I have seen very few tanks. This makes me sad.
Because, that's why.

And tankers will QQ once AV is balanced.
I think a lot of tankers have just stopped using tanks now that it is closer to balanced. Bad tankers now have a pretty good chance of being killed and for many people using tanks the whole point was being able to kill without much to fear.
There are still going to be good tankers making our life hell but that's fair. I don't think we are balanced but I want tanks out there, no more nerfs until we see how this works out.
Because, that's why.

If you think tanking is I-Win button now you .... welp..... ugh this community who can't accept they just got beaten by something they personally don't like...... Frankly I am going to say this to you. If you don't want to lose mount your own armoured attack. If the enemy is willing to commit X amount of assets to a fight then you need to be, or have a strategy to defeat them.... if not then you deserve to lose. Yep and you are what's ruining this game . I have 2.5 mil SP and no av yet. I guess I should just quit then according to you I should be able to kill tanks. Lol Can we say elite dumb ass.
Yes, this has always been the bigger issue. You simply can't balance this game with new players going against vets, running proto, in squads. It is a separate issue though. A vet running a FG has at least some chance against another vet running a tank. Swarms still need fixing, but besides that I think we are about as close as we can expect to get without driving off all the tankers.
Cause lets face it, they are all a bunch of mama boys.
Because, that's why.

Actually people who think like you think ruin this game. Folks like you don't have balls. Instead of being proud that you gave your all, you rather cry and sit on the bench with your arms crossed. HTFU
Yeah, I bet you are tough enough to start a new character from scratch and show these new kids how its done. You don't need all that SP and ISK do you?
Because, that's why.

This is why I love this game like no other, every action I took meant something, from switching to dedicated AV in the beginning, to establishing a footholdhold with armor hives and uplinks, to breaching with my Duvolle AR and finally to stand and defend in a Sentinel.
I just played the funnest Ambush game I've ever played. Lots of tanks were called in, lots went boom, it went back and forth and we won with 2 clones, we were up 10 but the last couple of guys were kicking it and it was touch and go.
I like OMS because I hate tanks.I played a lot of skirmish today and I would say tanks are not dominating the game anymore. They are still strong, but killable, and now more people actually try so we have a cascade effect and this is the type of dynamic you can't predict through graphs easily, it is psychological.
Because, that's why.

You must have a lot of SP. A logi suit with hives and uplinks A heavy sentinel suit, a duvolle I would be happy to have a heavy suit and an advanced forge, I guess in a few months I can at least do one roll you have. Seems legit unless you have millions of sp invested you can't do much in the game except die. OK I get it now. Hmm maybe this game is not for me after all. I will keep trying but if the sentiment from the dev team is get good on 2.5 million SP I just don't know what to say to that.
What is your suggestion? How can you make it both rewarding and challenging for both new players and vets? The only solution I can see is to separate them.
In the meantime, pick one role and concentrate on that. You can't do it all at this point so don't try. I f you want to drop uplinks, just do that, don't try to take on the tanks, eliminate the heavies, rep and revive everyone or kill every red dot. Just pick one role and do it well, it takes discipline, then later pick another role if you want until you can do all those things.
Because, that's why.

And yeah, anyone newish has shared your frustration and I still feel it even though I am not on the receiving end anymore.
Because, that's why.
