The primary issue at its very core is that vehicles have undergone a sort of tiericide, whereas AV weapons have not. What this means is that because vehicles are 'flat', but AV weapons are not, they're trying to balance a tiericided (sp?) role against a tiered role, which basically means the vehicles have to be balanced against a specific tier of AV.
So if you balance vehicles against Proto AV, STD and ADV are basically useless. If you balance vehicles against STD AV, then vehicles are nuked into oblivion by PRO AV. This is a fundamental flaw in the philosophy of Vehicles, and I think to try and expand on vehicles further without first addressing this issue would be irresponsible at best.
I think in general we need to move vehicles away from the concept of tiericide (Making infantry and AV undergo tiericide is an option as well) but the key is that you can't mix tiericide and tiered systems; it has to be consistent. Addressing this issue needs to be first and foremost on the vehicle issue.
That being said, once that is taken are of, there are a number of tools (modules specifically) that really should exist for vehicles. I'd personally like to see more modules made available since some obvious ones are missing, before we attempt to tackle additional vehicle roles such as Enforcers, Marauders, Logistics, ect.
Like my ideas?

None of the candidate use vehicles and those that do are mostly terrible and dont even do PC
They may use vehicles in pubs but thats pubs, you balance for PC and currently yet again vehicles are useless in PC
Well I have all vehicle support skills to V, all proto large turrets, I think 2 proto small turrets, and I was in a PC match less than 24 hours ago...so...you're wrong?

Haha and your criteria for that is...?

First specced into vehicles in the E3 build of closed beta and have been doing it every build and update ever since. So that's...what, 2+ years of constant use? Or is early closed beta through today not enough experience?
Do I use vehicles 100% of the time? No, I actually like running infantry in pub matches about 80% of the time, but I've run nothing BUT vehicles in PC save exactly one match where I as asked to come in as backup infantry.
My experience in PC? Launched into PC on the first day of its release, I think we had 20+ battles that day. In the first month I was involved in well over 150 PC battles before things started to slow down. Is it 10-15 battles a day? No not quite that many, but to think I'm "twiddling my thumbs" is completely off base. Are things as active in PC right now? Now, things are far docile but that's the nature of MH right now.
Am I the most amazing pilot ever? No, I have my good matches and I have my bad matches and I usually come out with a solid KDR for vehicle kills, but to sit and imply that I'm "irrelevant" in my understanding of mechanics is simply ignorant.
