Anyway, that's not the point.
I tanked in Chromosome, and we were pretty godly back then (mainly cos we were scaled pretty strongly to PRO AV and no-one had PRO AV, but eh) and in mid-to-late Uprising we were overpriced and undereffective, and then in Uprising 1.7 we were literally unkillable, and also really cheap, and now it seems to me, playing on both sides of the equation (incidentally, Alldin's FG is awesome) HAV and AV balance is pretty slick. (and wow, that was a big sentence.)
Swarms don't bother my hardened Gunny all that much, but when it clocks off I'm buggered. Same with forges. Careful use of terrain keeps me alive. Careless overextension kills me.
What's the big deal?
A whole bunch of Tankers and Pilots alike are QQ'ing about OP AV. Idk wtf they're talking about, AV/V is more balanced than it's ever been, I think most Vehicle users just plain suck. If your driving a Maddy, I get your pain, but your still not getting solo'ed unless either you or your fit sucks. The only thing that Vehicle users can complain about is lack of variety, but that's about to change, so I have no idea what's going on.

Probably not I'm guessing, because if you tanked, you sure as hell wouldn't think it's balanced.
Yes Spkr, balanced. As in. If I'm fighting a single AV'er, I never lose. If I'm fighting more than one, I have to GTFO. That seems balanced to me...

The only thing that Vehicle users can complain about is lack of variety, but that's about to change, so I have no idea what's going on. Tankers and pilots are QQing a lot because of hoe easily AV is spammed, all it takes is a supply depot and there's AV everywhere. Tankers can normally shrug off a lot of the damage from swarms, but dropships... they get destroyed by swarms with ease, their only counter was that they could fly away and escape but they can't do that now due to the swarm speed buff and afterburner nerf, so they're stuck.
Be like me and use proto AB. As soon as you get hit, pop the AB and fly away. You will survive nearly 90% of the time as long as you time your other defensive mod right.

Swarms catch up now.
Yes they do. But, you can still outrun the third volley as long as you hit the AB immediately after the first hit. Even if I don't, I pop my Proto light shield booster and then they have no chance. Then I'm back in the fight after cooldowns, which is about 30 seconds.
