Hmmm.
Dangerous topic this. But I love danger 
It feels right, we have scouts out there that can boast NK tank kills.. Heck, I even have a suit that can run up and puke forth 6 remotes, toss 2 packed to get you movin, right into the arc of my PLC.
*(not to mention what I'll do if you bring 4 MLT finklestein-****-tanks to mangmang on me)
Prof V forge operators with sentimental names for their dropships.
ADS pilots with an 8-pack of red-bull.
HAV's on top of places that make me sad.
6 man squads of missile operators with stacked kin-cats.
Symbioticforks  (see what I did there?)
Other snipers that barrage a stream of location intel/pump wyrks/generally annoy HAV/ADS/LAV pilots.
Dropships with remotes on them 
LAV with remotes on them *(see first note)
Digress
Vehicle operators have... as has been pointed out far too often... shoot shoot~AHHH~run away/die. Fun 
Scanners are mediocre, CRU = stolen vehicle, dmg mod = wasted slot, people not on your mic waste your bullets/stea.....
If I am blaster farming your team MAKE ME STOP and have fun doing it FFS
Ahhh, the meat of it Fun.
1.6 build, 1 rep 2 large blaster RoF mods 1 passive coolant 1 active coolant  because I cant remember name of turret (higher pg/cpu cost/isk price as well, some nice return)
1.8 build ... same crap everyone else is running
38 mil sp, 21 mil into HAV/turrets. Currently having zero fun tanking. I will buy boosters and not even whisper the evil "R" word, skill new trees, to have my old variety back.
By all means, balance it.
Can I get some skilled AV to side with me? Maybe a reason to have 2 AV fits.. Yellow LAV running about that cant murder like before thanks to patches, yet keeping ADS busy for a good shot, giving proxy users a reason to breathe. Hardened school bus dropping dooders onto your picnic, giving you 4-500 wp in dmg before he has to bug out. Dude has his coolant active, and a good corner, but you have the high ground and a good guardrail. Cue Queen - Flash Gordon theme.

If the variation was there, one sided tank matches would turn, somebody would call out a sneaky tank. Logi dropships that can take the punishment of an ADS long enough for swarms to win for a change. On and on.... 
Bottom line is, the changes have watered down the 'pilot' class to a sad state. Being the only tanker spamming tanks does not make you a good tanker... Being the only ADS in the sky does not mean you own it... 7000 armor redline rails and triple stackers is what it has been boiled into.
I have the upper limit. If I want to pew, I'll pew.
DUST lets me be a tanker, it's what I want to do.
