Then allow me to clarify.
If you can only operate a Tank solo when warring a Pilot suit, then that is a counterbalance which allows for a Buff to tanks.
It means that a player can't be a solo Tank Operator and an HMG Sentinel at the same time. If you have to either ware a specialty suit, or use two players, then that justifies making Tanks harder to kill.
You have to look at the big picture. If you want your role to be more powerful, you need to think of something you can give up in exchange (a nerf). Find a Nerf you can live with, and you suddenly have a bargaining position to ask CCP for a corresponding Buff.
The Sentinel Community understands this. The Scout Community understands this. If more of the Vehicle community understood this then vehicles would be in a much better place.
Under the topic of The Vehicle Community Not Understanding
I was a tanker for a very long time (This account wasn't my first account either as you can tell by the name) and at this stage of my dust career I've played every role in the game, and I've been able to use everything well to above average (besides logi)
But fox I don't think you've actually played the game enough to even bother putting stuff like this out.
As a tanker I was there through the highs and the lows but I eventually drew the line when I could be killed before my hardeners even activated! AKA when I had to rely on a hardener to survive vs. Infantry.
Now the problem with vehicles from my perspective is the lack of vehicle support here on the forums or in game nowadays for that matter.
There are almost no competent tankers left in the game because they have either quit the game or are forced to either camp in or near the redline. OR run a fit RELIANT on hardeners that can be killed within seconds if no hardener is active.
AV is still > than tanks. I stand by that statement even though I no longer have tanks but instead I have AV because it's easier cheaper and far more reliable

In my opinion the Pilot suit should grant in combat bonuses such as:
Increased cool down rate for active modules
Decreased heat build up/Increased reload speed
Decreased Dispersion of Blaster turrets
Damage resistance
Stuff similar to other suits and things that the PS3 can handle
Let my sniper see far, and my Bolt Pistol kill many.
