 They spent 1.7 removing all of the above until we are left with what we have now
 
 What really makes you think they will turn around and put it back in?

 and ads bonus stacking, which makes vehicle combat a 2 second affair.
 
 Tanks give a strategic advantage, missiles are both av and ai, while small turrets can allow anything to be both even if you're on your own... ads are in almost every PC match, there's whining about them from all the ground troops that want to be able to run freely between objectives and not take a safe route or let their av cover them.
 
 More variation would be nice, but not the "stuff everything that was removed" approach that old tankers want... Also large blasters on a tank are an easymode ai farm, I really don't know how anyone has trouble with that.
 
 
 I would like to see a slight advantage to going tank vs tank than av vs tank, simply because it's more entertaining, but not to the point that you have to bring a tank to stop a tank... Those times were ****** up.
 
 ADS bonus stacking requires 2 ppl with max skills into ADS to make it a **** train
 
 Large missiles are not AI they barely do splash and you need a direct hit which is only 500hp
 
 Large blaster got nerfed hard
 
 Variation is what makes it good, i had 5 slot for the tank and 2 extra for support and with the amount of modules we had i had variety and could mix it up with some intresting fits

In fact, vehicles were nerfed because even CCP is smart enough to know that having to counter one unit with the same exact unit (on a 1:1 ratio) is terrible for balance, and design. I have a hard time believing that this game is reduced to V/AV, especially considering how few kills the SL got during the Destructive Data Mining event. 
 Looks like we have some grade A bullshit here
 
 Kills 124
 
 What is a kill? Its when the player dies and has to respawn
 
 Can you not die in a vehicle? Yes
 
 Can you not die in a vehicle even when it blows up? Yes, you just exit the vehicle before it actually blows up
 
 124 kills means 124 ppl stayed in there vehicle until it blew up while everyone else jumped out
 
 
 Right now it is AV vs Vehicles since there is no point going vehicle vs vehicle when AV can do it better and cheaper

Let's assume that you're right. Let's assume that the state of AV is fantastic, Schwarmas included. Let's implement better, stronger prototype vehicles tomorrow. What do you think will happen the following day? 
 CCP rebalance proto AV to deal with proto vehicles
 
 Tho unless we get the mods back from 1.0 and more skills with bonuses the proto vehicles will be a bit meh really

 CCP has yet to rebalance proto AV against basic vehicles; it takes a full clip of max proficiency schwarms to pop a basic LAV.  On what basis can you assume they'd rebalance AV against proto vehicles?  On what basis can you assume they'd do a good job? 
 Proto vs basic vehicles
 
 There is the problem, how can you balance std/adv AV weapons when we only have 1 basic vehicle which we do expect to deal with proto because we cannot upgrade it

When has a problem ever been made less complex  by adding variables? 
 Because then each variation is made useful instead of me going 'ha mlt swarms what a noob'
