I agree with almost everything in your post... +1

The complete lack of trolling is, how ever, jarring and not what I expect of the forums.

AV did not receive more options. We got one extra AV grenade. I've seen enough HAV's take one grenade to the front, and then they'll chicken off to their redline and let their Armour reps take over until they're ready to get back in. Because a barely Dead HAV is an HAV that got away and will come back within 60sec, after it somehow repaired 3K+ Armor and regained it's shields. Offcourse the Proto Nades will do a ton of damage. They're Proto for a reason, and we pay for that extra damage, just like how Tanks pay extra for their Ion Cannons and Neutron Blaster and whatnots.

The slight increase to PLC damage is a joke. It's not enough. If they'd kept the PLC at its previous damage, but increased the damage it did vs. Armour; it'd be a decent choice for AV, as well as keep it balanced for Infantry killing. (it already Instant kills anyone on a direct hit, so what's the problem?)

I also don't think you've ever been on the AV side enough. Swarmers going through cover? Never seen that happen ever. Mine occasionally even veer out of their path to strike random objects not even in their intended flight path.

I'll grant you the AHMG shooting at tanks is weird, but then again, if a blast of Plasma hits the side of your fancy Challenger tank, it'd vaporize the armor, along with everyone inside that tank. But that's not the case when it hits your HAV. So I'm not up to complaining about the AHMG and bringing real world arguments into it, because real-work AT weapons are designed to knock out Tanks in a single shot, but place this in a game, and AT would become OP, and nobody would use Tanks.

And a single Proto AV guy taking out an HAV is op, but a guy solo'ing an entire team in an HAV isn't OP? Sure, Proto v. Proto should be a fair contest, but I can't see why a fully Proto AV fit should have to waste 300-400K on AV fits just to kill a Militia HAV. A Proto Tank should, and will, stomp a Militia Tank, just like how a Proto Assault should, and most likely will stomp a Militia assault. That's the point of having tiers. Yet for Infantry AV vs. HAV's it's suddenly different, and they demand you require at least 3 people to knock out one tank.

It sucks the fun out of AV when you need buddies, instead of skill, to kill a tank. AV needs more variety (and Vehicles can't complain because you guys at least have a ton of modules to use in different setups), and decent counters to specific builds (such as full Active Module builds.). Then you'll get a semblance of balance, with interesting AV v. Armour battles, and requires both AV and Tankers to think outside the box to gain the upper hand. And then the most skilled player wins, and then, in true Internet fashion, one of the sides will receive a nerf because: "See signature"

@Takahiro: Either your fancy disclaimer lies about the trolling, or you are truly ignorant of this, but here: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)[/url]
Pay specific attention to the part about Industrial uses. Note: Metal cutting.
SCIENCE!

How does one OHK a Tank with a single weapon/ shot? (serious question)
Not when it's on full health you don't. Even 6 Proto Mines don't cut that. Note that rushing a tank with 3 guys teaming it and killing it in a second isn't the same as a OHK. -->> More than one hit you see.

The SHAVs with turrets is a glitch

Only bad players get killed by 1 AV players (assuming its a 2-3 player tank)

needing at least 1 hp mod on tanks is working as intended, but allows players to use dmg mods or other mods if they want better glass cannons

if the clip size of large missiles is not enough to kill a tank even after a reload cause of the armor tanks reps/shield tanks shield reps then I suppose the clip size might need a increase.

the clip size of large blasters might need a increase if they cant kill 1 shield tank with 1 hardener. but dmg mods were meant to remedy that issue by increasing the dmg per clip and DPS.

If you are close enough for the AHMG to kill you then you should retreat to 60m or more distances. don't just stay there.

You seem to have your information containing a list of bugs and stats imbalances in one list. this creates a confusion for readers. it makes you seem to convey the point that tanks should be buffed because of glitches as well as stat imbalances.

Instead of conveying the point that tanks should be buffed because of imbalances only, while the glitches need to be fixed but don't justify stat buffs.

please try to next time to create 2 different lists, 1 listing imbalances, 1 listing glitchs, with both lists containing 2 separate intended points/overall message. it would create less confusion for readers.
