I see what you're doing here and it makes sense, specifically that some of these bonuses were made considering that there would eventually be more racial parity for each weapon type. Since that is not likely to happen until legion, these suggestions are a work around to that, turning the current lineup of racial weaponry that is available and converting some of their functionality to reinforce AV potential.
Its a good idea, I guess as long as its acknowledged that Commando's were meant to be an AV focused classes. I'm not sure that was their original design... but if Rattati is open to some changes there might be some room for improvement.
Could we.. perhaps re-purpose some current assets to create racial parity in AV, maybe create an ecosystem that makes more sense than shared racial bonuses? (not to say your idea is necessarily bad though!)
lets see...
What about, as a first step, increasing the efficiency against vehicles for explosives. So the mass driver and the flaylock pistol. Give them the same treatment as the Nova Knife.
I don't know how the DPS stacks up vs the swarm launcher and PLC but there could easily be room for a 0 splash, higher damage variant dedicated to essentially purely AV. Give them low clip, lower RoF, and longer reload than their AI counterparts - perfect for a commando!
For Amarr... what about a similar treatment for the scrambler? Creating a 200-300% vehicle efficiency variant with very low clip size... around the 4-6 range that would have you charge shot tanks and due to low clip size and long reload be almost worthless (but not completely) against infantry? This one is a little tougher but could be worth looking at.
If something like this could be done... Then we might have a better platform for this. It wouldn't really require much in terms of changes. If this was possible I would say change Caldari Bonus to Include 'Missiles' instead of explosives and change the min bonus to not affect the SL (but this is controversial topic here, removing primary functionality of a class and would be a topic only worth really discussing if the above changes are possible at all).
I dunno... just something I had started thinking about after the AV discussion on your podcast last night.
