In the year twenty and twelve (lol) CCP said "Let there be DUST". Thus was created the MCC. And it was good.
Lo and behold, CCP said "Let there be space guns". And it was good.
And CCP said, "Let there be tanks, and dropships, and all manner of LAV to roam the wilderness." And it was good.
And man was blessed with all manner of modules, and turret choices. So that no two men drove the same tank. And it was good.
And lo, from the heavens fell a suit that had a tank ready the second he hit the ground, and CCP blessed him with the power to hunt other tanks and reap the bounty of tears that he did sow. And it was good.
And to the heavens he did offer his praises in the form of burnt offerings. And CCP was pleased.
And upon the plains did roam the suits, and tanks, and dropships, and all manner of LAV. And the fruit of this garden was for all men to share. And for a time this did carry on, and was enough.
Yet lo.
Into the garden did slither a serpent.
And he spoke unto the ears of man "Has thou really a need to struggle? Didst thou seek a more relaxed experience? Eat of the fruit from the tree of instant gratification, and see how your gods might be manipulated."
And some men did eat, and come to think that the plains should belong to man, and man alone.
They burnt golden offerings to make the gods hear their pleas. And lo, the gods could hear nothing else.
Those that did not eat, knew not of the cries to the heavens. And continue to roam they did until even through the red mists, it was as if written in the skies.
And lo, CCP did cast out the beasts that burdened man. And did strip them of their robes, and did place upon them a lasting mark (unless you respec) that would forever warn others of their choices.
And for generations the beasts did wander the darkness on foot, and bruise the heel, and scathe the shin, and did learn well the ways of man.
Yet lo.
The beasts remembered their time on the plains fondly, and harbored no ill towards their gods. To roam again, thus was their only wish.
And to their gods they did offer gold at last. The flesh of man shall be ignored until into a corner the beasts are placed.
"Upon each other shall we feast, for we can now walk as men. And men shall not know us as beasts. And should a beast sup upon the flesh of man, all will see, and upon this beast we shall set."
TL;DR
As an OG tanker forced into an infantry role due to the complete lack of fun in vehicle op, if these variants were to return, I would return to my original purpose. Tank-killer. As would many others. Thus forcing me to create a budget for dust.

This discussion is moot without module variety.
All variants will be either hardened or bricked.... *yawn* (and of course the Scrublogi with dmg mods on his mlt rail)
Max effort I could drum up maybe 4 fits, but they would all feel the same.
An Enforcer without coolant mods is just a rail sica, a marauder without RoF mods is just a triple rep maddy.
Blaster vs blaster is boring because both run same blaster.
Rail vs rail is a joke at 300m.
Missile vs missile is just sad to watch.
Our vehicles are so watered down it will take more than reworking old hulls back in.
Give us some teeth, or just take them all out.
27 focused mil sp into tanks... respec is looking better and better

Bringing out the hulls with crazy base setups will only make it harder to get old mods returned.
The tanks haven't changed much, it's the lack of module and turret variety that killed vehicle op.
CCP needs to add a smiley that's blue in the face...
