At first glance, the fitting seems off, when you look at the seeming low HP and regen of your tank and you wonder where it all went wrong.

After you take them for a spin, you find they work very well indeed. The armor tanks at least. With a hardener active you cant tank a whole lot of damage. As soon as that hardener switches off, if your not out of dodge you tank will be turned to scrap very quickly. With the hardener on, Incubus can tank a fair bit of damage too.

small blasters are still horrible.

Large blaster are still pretty bad vs Infantry, but they wreck shield tanks.

Alot of people are trying tanks, had at least one massive battle. At a minimum 16 tanks went down

Have fun now, because the swarmers are going to be screaming thier heads off about this.

I doubt that, SL users can now jump 10m up and prob still launch no problem so that is going to be one hell of a problem to deal with.

Not suprised blasters are horrible.

Hardener is the same with all vehicles, it is on you are okaish, when it is off run to the redline before you squeal like a pig.

Armor was going to be the winner with this update and if the AV flat damage goes through they win again.

EDIT: Shield and armor hardeners work exactly the same now. Shield still gets resistance to Explosive damage. Plasma cannons wreck shield tanks now. No question.

Flying swarms can be a problem in the future but in testing it out, we parked a tank right under some pipes crawling with AV. 4 forge gun rounds and two swarm volleys barely scratched the tank when it was hardened. The second it was off, 1 forge round and & swarm volley nearly killed us, if the forge funner landed his last shot we would've been toast.

I lost one of my tanks in that fight by taking a frankly stupid detour past two AV guys my hardner was down at my tank lost instantly. But in the same fight, with my hardener up i tanked a massive amount of AV fire and still escaped.

Tankers will be squealing back to the redline for sure, on smaller maps it will be a problem. On larger maps, not so much.
