NO dropsuit costs 1.4 million ISK. That is around 6-7 games worth of isk!
So the cheapest tanks cost 1.4 million?
If not, I suggest you run a cheaper tank.
It seems we are again at a point where only tanks can counter other tanks, and I can't say I am going to care much about the efficacy of JJs until AV can do something other than take out LAVs and DS.

Plasma plus AV nades vs Gunnlogis are good. Forge gun with Swarm Launcher support vs Madrugars are good. Use teamwork vs proto tanks. Profit. JLAVS too op
Oh, so we have to use multiple people to counter just 1 tank, and hope that they don't have hardeners on and kill us all before we can even make a dent. I am sure a team can afford to commit all those resources.
Sounds balanced...
Do people even use Gunnlogis? I was under the impression they were inferior and not used.
It seems to me that we are currently going through 1.7 all over again minus the super HAV speed.
If I see your name on screen, I will know what I need to pull out.

Gunnlogi's are superior as team-platform tanks and are only perceived as inferior by those who Lone Wolf. But team Gunnlogi is quite useful in many instances, though I used Maddy for blaster role since it excels in that regard.
Anyways, Plasma Cannon+AV nades will do the trick v. Gunnlogi, and for Madrugars, it matters the build, but I find Proto Assault Forges are the way to go for most builds. Popular at the moment are low hp, double hardener, double repper, or even tri-repper, hardener, so slower AV has a difficulty.
I almost always run team platforms. By your logic, will you need to have always 3 AV to take me out, since you are obviously thinking 1 AV = Easymode kill on tank?
This all makes sense now.
I took out my proto swarms the other day, and they were completely useless against HAV. They took, at max 10% of the tank's HP.
HAV have to LET AV kill them now.
I don't want to have it easy, but I do want a legitimate chance to at least force an HAV from an area, which I can no longer even begin to be able to do.
Now, they just turn on hardeners, have all the time in the world to drive around to whatever angle suits them best, and shoot me down without any real effort or skill.
Even PLCs and AV nades don't have a chance unless someone happens to be lazy or completely incompetent.
The "wave of opportunity" has become invincibility, unless you commit half your team to fight one tanker, or have a tank yourself.
