AV is also imbalanced in this same way, with some AV being great (probably too great) like swarms, and others... not so great (by that I mean terrible). But overall, AV/V is balanced, but not with themselves.
Shield tanks are only slightly better compaired to armor because they're more versatile (especially fitting small turrets) and maneuverable. Shields suck defensively compaired to armor.

Shields suck defensively compaired to armor. Indeed...... that 15% better hardener really makes them bad in a defensive sense....not to mention on tanks a passice 168 passive regeneration per second without requiring a module to be fit.
Hardeners come down eventually, sure they can burst tank but after that they're tissuepaper. Edit: also you need to use on everytime you're attacked because your defenses depend on them, meaning even a single swarmer can cause you to use up your hardener(s) in some cases. Not to mention you're toast if youre caught with them down, even if you keep some shields you've lost most of it.
Shield reps only work after a battle where as armor is constant, not to mention higher (typically 200-250). Sure it takes mods but you also require 3x defensive mods for max efficiency, plus using your lows for fitting mods where as armor gets at least one utility high (typically an overdrive which can help outrun/strafe missiles).
