I don't think the solution is to buff the gunlogi because I don't think the infantry would appreciate a triple rail tank running around invincible. Instead the maddy should be brought down to where the gunlogi is as I can efficiently mow down anything in my path already. The maddy however can have a solo pilot and put out more dps with the same durability. By toning down the maddy the gunlogi would be a more viable option. Simply because maddy is op doesn't make the gunlogi worthless. But like I said, it currently takes a triple rail to compete with a solo maddy and that is where the problem lies.
A non damage modded triple rail Gunny will get melted by my triple rail maddy. Not even a contest. A dual damage modded and heat sinked gunny can win against a Maddy as long is it can choose its engagement range and there are no enemy dropships around that will decimate it. Shield regen is too low, eHP is too low for it to even attempt to try to brawl. Add in the lack of gun depression and there are plenty of situations where a rail gunny can't even shoot back at the maddy that is killing it.
A solo maddy will get JLAV'd if the enemy has any sense at all. Sprinkle some buffer on a Quafe LAV and you get a vehicle that can last just long enough against blaster fire to make its delivery. And since you only have to touch a tank to set it off, it is super simple for even the most fervent of mouth breathers to perform.
Every tanker needs a gunner or two, and that is great for tanking as an overall role in the game, but there is no such thing as an invincible tank. Every tank build can be taken down by a single player, no matter the build. People who claim otherwise just aren't trying.
Anyone calling the Maddie OP isn't a tanker, they are an AV scrub who wants to plink at enemy tanks with a rail from their own redline because they lack the fortitude to actually get up in a blaster tanks zone of influence to deal with it.
Good tanker versus good AV player is a coin flip for who wins. Good tanker versus regular dust pubbie is a massacre because most dusties are bad.
