Point of view
Minmatar commando m1 series
Approximately 800 hp
2 complex damage mods on wiki swarms

Not only can this fit not kill any basic armor tank, but the pilot either:
1 runs away, and I get + 75 (reasonable)
2 feathers the trigger and mows me down behind my cover
3 activates 2 hardeners, drives up to me, then mows me down or hops out and does it

Things that need to happen to fix this
1 large blasters should get instant dispersion on the first shot
2 if a pilot leaves their seat, all active modules, and passive reps deactivate, to reactivate on cooldownwhen the pilot returns
3 acceleration nerf. Driving around in the open should be as much of a death trap to tanks as it is to infantry.

Maybe because the armour hardener lasts so long, if you don't fire at it while they're up, you don't get to fire at it?

Actually, this statement is incorrect. A 250k to 300k standard tank, fit with enhanced mods, reppers at the very least, is immune to proto AV weapons and gear, with hardeners up.

It doesn't take a pro tank to double rep and double harden.

The dual hardener dual rep fit is very powerful.

I'm going to be a broken record and say that passive reps need to die in a fire and we need active reps again.

No doubt active need to back a come back, but no reason we can't have passive!

Feedback I've been seeing seems to lend itself more to the fact that the Heavy Armor Repairers are problematic, but the Light Armor Repairers are not.

I would not be terribly opposed to leaving Light Reppers as passive but moving the large ones to be active.

Logged in if for no other reason than to say that it is the first two "tankers" in this thread that make me want vehicles to DIAF and be ripped screaming from the Dust514 code.

Good job you two, you made me care enough to post again.

Bring back vehicle RR modules, I used to repair tanks with my Prometheus, it was glorious fun, too bad swarms just re-directed to me until I blew up because I had to be so low and flying so carefully to follow the tank.

Alternatively, buff vehicle repair tools so tank crews can hop out and repair a tank whilst it's under fire, turning killing a tank into a sort of mini-boss fight where infantry have to kill the logistics repairing the tank, and AV need to wait until hardeners are down to finish it off.

Lots of fun ways to make tanks more interesting without the usual brain-dead AV is over/underpowered debate, where the result polarises one side of the community against the other unnecessarily.

Did I mention my Prometheus again? I dream of her every second lonely night in my quarters. Oh, my beautiful.

Are we talking about the small blaster or the large blaster, because I can kill with both, just the small blaster is not worth the trouble vs the other small turrets...

If large blaster... Then I'd like to see where you got that idea from, most of my posts about the large blaster state that it's the best anti-infantry weapon in the game.

Yeah my idea on these was start by reducing the number of cycles, look at current vaules within the same frame of time, and cut them in half.

Become more like armor reps on suits, not something that's going to keep you alive underfire.

Always hated how they never tiered the hardener amount.

1 it shouldn't be worse, just instant.
2 that's fine. Teamwork is meant to be OP
3no. I want you to use cover.

2 I didn't say that the passenger should hop out. He said they would, and I was fine with that.
3 all I'm saying, is that being out in an open field when hit by AV should equal your death. Right now you can go from a dead stop in an open field to top speed in about 5 seconds. It should take about 15-20 seconds to hit top speed.
