So I haven't been following the dropsuit armor repair thread much so I don't know if that's a thing or if this has been suggested yet, but I thought I'd give my .02 ISK on the subject.
A small native armor repair to all vehicles would be greatly appreciated. Nothing much, I'm not too good with numbers anyway (perhaps like 15/20 and 45/50hp/s for shield LAVs to armor HAVs respectively, everything else just sprinkled in between there).
It follows the same logic that you're considering for the dropsuits, and also includes that: 1) you really can't viably fit an armor repair on, say, a Python, 2) logistics in the forms of repair tools and hives are virtually or totally nonexistent, and 3) there isn't always a safe supply depot available to recover lost hp.

Wait why? Put in a repper if you need armour regen. If I wanted it on my HAV that's what I'd have to do. If that Worm pilot who destroyed me a couple of days ago wanted armour reps he could have put on an armour repper... he didn't and had to limp back to station as a flaming wreck even after tearing my ship to pieces. I'm basically at this point begging CCP now not to make my HAV that much more powerful.

I know they're in the same universe and share not only lore but game mechanics, but somethings are different. Logistics, capacitor, EWAR, shield regen/mechanics, hardeners, damage profiles, etc.
I'm also just following Rattati's logic on this. If they're considering doing this for dropsuits, then it makes since that for the same reasons (and more, as I've pointed out), this should come to vehicles.
There can also be a small change to armor repairs to compensate. Since this is mainly to buff shield vehicles, armor vehicles shouldn't benefit too much.

I don't really need to justify this since the other thread is basically doing this for dropsuits. If it's alright for them I fail to see how it'd be much less acceptable for vehicles. I'm just asking for continuity.
Actually, according to the data Rattati has posted, shield vehicles in general are struggling to be as effective as armor vehicles (especially the Myron and Saga, both would really benefit from this buff. The Gunnlogi also has lower stats overall, last I checked). I know I do alright and assume you do alright, but personal experience/bias shouldn't get in the way of the numbers.
Shield regen will obviously be low, though the rate may seem high since we have much less armor (1950 / 35 is greater than +4000 / 50). It's not much different than if we just flew/drove back to a supply depot anyway (except that it would take much longer and there's not always a supply depot available).
