And I miss HMG Sharpshooter and the viability of stacking kincats on my Amarr heavy frame as I'd run around and keep up with all the Caldari and Minmatar medium frames.

You gotta admit for a 2.75 Million ISK construct that was some pretty good module activation game play.
That's roughly 10-12 standard contracts to redeploy.

Campaigning to get Rattati to bring back Marauders right now.....and have armour hardeners buffed to 30%, also campaigning to have Shield HAV fitting values decreased slightly and armour's buffed slightly.

I dont even have to admit. It was still not invincible, and I think that thing was relatively balanced. In today's maps, it would be an inconvenience at most, as it would only bother people if they tried to leave an area. I say this because most maps are city oriented nowadays, with points left unexposed to the oustside. The reason it used to be a killer was because there really was nowhere to hide back then, with the Manus Peak map.
And yes, I liked the old module activation system. It would be cool if they added a non-passive variant for armor repairers that has a higher repair rate than the passive ones, sort of like the old ones.

Heck, increase module customization and make both armor and shield tanks to have the same fitting value, with both of them equal to the current shield HAV output.

Best bit about Marauders was ******* them up and kicking over some kids sandcastle, knowing you set them back 10+ games.

Think about it like this.
How many HAV pilots are willing to sink 20-30 Million SP into their craft? Some sure as a Slaverhound chews of the thighs of virgin Matari, but not many would do this but certainly some would.
One Marauder would be worth two lesser tanks in the hands of a skilled pilot, and cost between three and nine times as much......
To even deploy one you'd have to be rather wealthy, confident, well skilled, experienced, or desperate enough...... or you risk very quickly having your 3 million ISK HAV be dropped by competent AV.

11,500 hp tank die to 2 swarmers?

Does the pilot of a T2 vessel pay to have a superior ship to a T1 pilot? Yes..... yes we do. This however does not mean and ******* idiot pilot like myself will not lose this ship if they handle the vessel wrongly.
Does a Prototype Dropsuit not cost more than a Standard Dropsuit and do you not pay more ISK for the benefits it and similarly tiered modules convey? Yes you do.
The guy in this video was likely significantly invested in his role ISK, SP, and experience wise.
Noting also that tanks at the time never had passive reps. Every module in this video is one the pilot made the conscious decision to activate, some parts of which almost cost him is HAV only able to be narrowly avoided in the end.
Moreover the Armour Tanks were significantly slower and less manoeuvrable I'm surprised he was able to get away.
I'm honestly surprised. At the end of Uprising I had higher scoring matches in a Madrugar vs AV buffed in preparation for Wolfman's "Vehicle's Fix".
Back then armour tanks had viable EHP values.

Highly contradictory statement based on the amount of intolerant overreaction.
The players had no one trying to focus on fighting the vehicle, and it only took a mere 2 people to narly destroy it. The tank driver survived by the skin of their teeth, and if those two actually attacked from a higher elevation or behind it would have been dead and there. The AV was effective, but one AV couldn't easily kill a true tank, like how it should be now.

No hard feelings.
Seriously though, that thing was definitely not invincible, mind you. They have also increased effectivity of AV and decreased effectivity of hardeners and other modules. Really, do you even know your tank bro? Have you not a clue what has actually changed number wise on vehicles? Even blasters have been reduced in effectivity...
And that's only gameplay wise... There are many other factors that justify that tank's capability; risk v reward, ISK cost of tank v ISK cost of AV, the introduction of Commando suits... Come on man. I already told you, but i'll say again. That is one seriously closed mind.
I also don't like to tolerate ignorant insults...

Actually they stated that they removed it because we as players were not using them how CCP intended them to be used but never stated how they were supposed to be used.
Basically back then deploying any HAV was a gamble. Rendering was terrible past 50m, AV absolutely wrecked face (as it should) individual AV players shut down entire maps and never had to move, and ISK....... making that ISK back IS painful for dedicated vehicle pilots.

I remember these good olde tanks, the Gallente Surya, and the Caldari Sagaris. I remember in my earlier days as a cloned mercenary that these Tanks were a FORCE to be reckoned with and a MENACE on the battlefield. I feel sorry for those who actually came face to face to these "Beasts".
I was close to actually piloting a Surya and with the right amount of skills, unlock it's full potential. That was until these "Scrubs" complained to the point where CCP had removed them from the game.
I have but one request to the nest that supplied these beasts, on May 14th, 2015. I will ask the community to request CCP to bring these babies back on the battlefield... One Last time, as a anniversary edition. So that these new players coming to Dust 514 to experience what we veterans had experienced 3 years earlier at that future date. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair for those that is just coming into the game and not to experience these tanks in action just as the closed beta veterans have.
I will saw the tables of solitude. They say that death is no longer an option.

Agreed.
My point was that I don't understand players who enjoy a game with little to no challenge.
In my gaming experience, if it's too easy I get bored.
To me, in DUST 514, sniping is boring and tanking is boring.
I believe that a certain type of individual flocks to these two roles.
Most tankers play that role to farm easy infantry kills. Most are not interested in tank vs tank fights. Care to disagree True?
Snipers? I just don't get it. No challenge and boring. But that's just me.
I have no respect for either role because I know why most play it. And that is to feel artificially superior when regular infantry roles can't provide them that feeling.
Gamers like to feel like they are good and special. If infantry in DUST doesn't provide that, well snipers and tanks can.
And that is symptomatic of more serious emotional issues.

Gamers like to feel like they are good and special. If infantry in DUST doesn't provide that, well snipers and tanks can.
And that is symptomatic of more serious emotional issues.
But that's the thing. I find infantry work boring, uninspired, fundamentally pointless, and not entirely difficult.
But Tanking? I found that challenging and exciting pre 1.7 Tank Pocalypse.
Having to guess at your enemies fits, building up your own over time, trying to preserve ISK, having to manoeuvre into the perfect positions for that strafing run and timing your modules perfectly.
I loved Blaster vs Blaster duels as it was a real matter of attrition. Module activation was king, and to be honest even though I lost almost every time only being able to field a Soma and ADV gear I kept at it until I was good at what I did.
The last few days of Uprising before 1.7 where I scored 44/0, 52/1, 66/0 were all on my own merits that I earned like any Saxonmish, Arkena Wyrnspire, Cyrius Li Moody, etc gameplay video.
Hell outside of Dust 514 I player War Thunder Ground Forces where Tanks can be blown up in single shots from 500+m away and there are no infantry to engage, I also tank in BF4, before that in Starwars Battlefront 1 and 2, and going forwards I drive vehicles in all the shooters I play.....
Back pre 1.7 killing infantry was superfluous to my actually role which was anti tank and asset destruction (e.g CRU, Supply Depots, Turrets, etc).

You know, if you would have said what you just said in the first place, there would be no discussion. I think everyone agrees with the mentality you just posted above. Nobody likes that Thale sniper waaay in the redline or that tanker camping a CRU/Objective for easy kills.
'Tis why I don't like insulting people directly, as it makes for easier forgivings and better, cleaner argument.
Hell even I hate those ******* cowards who snipe or hide at the redline.
It was my job to **** them up!

True,
If tanking is a challenge for you and infantry is not, then I respect the way you choose to play DUST. To each their own.
But the truth of the matter (no pun) is that most tankers don't play that role for the reasons you expressed and my opinions are based on the vast majority of those who run Tanks, and not necessarily you. Fair enough?
And all snipers can suck it.

Tanking? In Battlefront? My god... I thought that was the worst. The AI couldn't do **** last time I played that game. It was fun as hell though.
Do you play World of Tanks: Blitz? Or just the regular even?

You know what the cool thing about these Marauders is mate?
Not even the modern 5x Boundless Jihad can destroy one!

Oh man, I used to love running my FG fit and chase off these expensive buggers.
The more vehicle variety, the richer this game will be.
*sigh*
Please bring back ground based vehicles and their modules from 1.6... as well as the price tag to stop them from being spammed.
Tankers need their variety.
Sincerely,
Non-vehicle player

Also if you look into the Shield Marauder vid Pyrex ran with AdaptandDie the way that Supply Deplot explodes is orgasmic..... well not really but it looks really nice.
Also back then I used to have Siege Mode as my Signature thing.
Any time there was a something on the map that squad leader did not like I'd active my Hardener, Damage Control, and Heat Sink II and I was a Bastion that didn't need to move until my target was dead or enemy brought sufficient AV number to run me off of the point.
This was characterised by a resounding "SIEGE mode!" on squad comms.

It would also be interesting to see how the old tanks played out with limited ammo reserves

RIP Marauders and Tanks of Old..... I shall never pilot you again.
Forget Marauders. This is what the Amarr tank should be GÇô a slow, heavily armored beast that rolls in and takes the hits, but is a sitting duck if too far in the open and hit with alpha damage due to not being able to roll away quickly. Also, it would be balanced by a scrambler turret not being able to be as deadly as a blaster turret due to RoF and overheat. A laser turret would be a one second long range turret before overheat to take down shields. Add a heat sink module to help be more offensive at the cost of defensive.
More importantly, why can't CCP bring back that original Manu Peak map as a new, separate map? I loved that old map and it was far more tactical and a bit more unpredictable than now.
I'm better than laser focused; I'm hybrid focused.
