basicly HAV is not infantry and everybody wants infantry "shooter game" so they will spend time "fixing" infantry and other misc unimportant stuff for everybody else and leave HAV to be a mobile infantry shooter platform ie blaster or missile.

there is so much wrong with tanks, the movement, the optics on the rails, etc.

Fixes are easy, make turrets for tank battles ie remove blaster or slow it down, buff armour/sheilds so swarms and forge need reload to kill. This makes the tank a tank killer or area weapon and not an ant-personal weapon. This will allow tank battles and them to give some area denial.

Fix zoom and sticky zoom

give more slots to next level of tank with more cpu/

Basically have CCP or Ratti talk to and play with tankers and define their role and fix them to add depth and other game play to Dust.

The only tanks destroyed by one clip of swarm/forge is an ill-fitted tank.

Actually I would consider it the opposite now having been a swarmer.

There is no reason any tank should be able to take more than 4 swarm volleys and keep trucking. I put six into a Gunlogi the other day and did not get a kill.

No Standard HAV should be able to ignore Prototype AV. In fact one one shield tank should be able to do this where Armour cannot.

Swarm-light weapon
Tank-Heavy vehicle

Swarm should be able to hurt tank but shouldn't really deal enough damage to kill it unless there are two swarmers.

Of course a swarm launcher should hurt a tank.

Offensive technologies are usually superior to defensive technologies. There more over is not reason a weapon designed to destroy vehicles should not be carried by the average infantry man, the only difference between "heavy" and "light" AV is perception.

By that reasoning my offiensive, giant mounted blaster turret should cut through you like buttter. As in a one shot, a weapon designed to kill other 6.5 k hp tanks should make pretty short work of a 900K hp commando suit. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.

I used to do the same thing...... but I can't say I enjoy tanking these days. I always was an armour tanker through and through. I liked being slow and having high manageable HP values...... Pyrex actually described the Surya in one of his videos exactly how I like my Tanks. "Like a brick you leave in the middle of a situations to sort it out." But currently in this AV meta and in the current state of vehicle balancing the Armour HAV doesn't even compare to shield tanks. He's one of my main squad mates, and he's never been a fan of armor or blasters. Even now AV meta is wearing a bit thin. I am more armor centric. Maybe you could try this fit. Since i've been tryint to get back in to maddys I fit it like 1 enh 1200MM 1 com. Armor rep 1 CPU upgrade Neutron blaster 1 com. fuel injector 1 light shield booster Get in, pop a few guys, take a hit, flip on the nitro and get the shields up straight away. Basically i treat it like my incubus. Definitly more survivable, but if you see a missile tank then GTFO. on a side note ignore my scarcasm in my previous post. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.
