I remember you and all you did was tank .
Are you playing or going to play again ?
It would be good to see someone with your knowledge and experience back on the ground again , you know your role doesn't get the attention or respect that it deserves and not too many even back HAV usage but promote bias against your role and I specialize in AV and I'm not afraid to admit that .
Many tankers have quit due to the blandness of the role and I just can't blame them .
The role of vehicle usage isn't clearly defined or promoted besides the role of pilots and even that has been reduced to what you yourself admit as another form of infantry farming but they simply will not admit it .
At least you have the balls to .
Maybe you and a lot of previous tankers that are still active can come together and finally help bring definition to the role of HAV usage because their words have been falling on deaf ears for sometime now , which lead to those who have returned to leave once again and some to just play the " forum warrior " role trying to advocate for vehicle balance .
Good luck in your efforts because I would love for every role in the game to have balance as well as the game it's self .
If you haven't played , you should because a lot has changed and a lot has remained the same or gotten worse , this game needs all the help it can get to make it the best that it can possibly be .

My efforts will more than likely be wasted, however thank you. I recall the time where CCP said they were buffing tanks and killed the meta that made tank VS tank exciting and made the tanks weaker. CCP created a ****** idea for tanking and has spent too much time trying to make it work. Despite that, I've felt compelled to post something on tankings current state...
To me vehicle use was far more exciting pre 1.6 , all they had to do was approach the scenario like their trying to do now with little changes but they took the best features out which was the skill tree and the mechanics of the mods themselves .
You already had the vehicles with Logistic Dropships and LAV's , granted they might have needed a few changes but that's just what they just did with the latest hotfix but I guess some live and they learn , it just seems like too many times CCP takes two steps forward , only to take two and sometimes three steps back which leads and perpetuates the nerf / buff cycles that have prevailed over the game for sometime now .
I knew once they changed the skill tree with it's attributes , that it would be a tough road ahead .
To me the previous vehicle sill tree was the most balanced and when invested , you could actually see what you've spent your SP's on and what for but that's neither here nor there now .
Prices weren't cheap but you actually felt it was worth it given the circumstances , all that was needed was a tweaking here and there in some AV areas , I believe that it would have been better now given the creativity of the community with Jihad Jeeps and using proxies more and also with the introduction of packed remotes as well as the changes made to PLC's and MD's along with the Assault HMG's .
To me , it would have been far better then it is now if the wouldn't have panicked and tore the whole structure down to rebuild but that might have been the only way that they felt they could deal with the issues , sometimes this community can steer one away from the real issues and lead some in many different directions far away from the core factor ( The development team wasn't as active as they are now or rather not like Rattati is now and I could tell in the forums that they were getting flustered , irritated and confused because it seems that they had a vision and things were not falling into place so that vision could be achieved ) , I just think that was one of those cases and the whole role suffered because of that .

I forgot the fact that their still dealing with the problem of shield tanks being inferior to armor tanks .
Same as it ever was .

I just don't know bout this and while it seems like a problem , it's one of the best things about this game that goes unsaid .
I can start the game as a scout and zerg a null , get a hack , lay links and then move to a depot and switch to a logistic player and lay more links in a dropship or switch to a commando and lay in the weeds so to speak and wait until their scout comes to hack and do what I just did in an attempt to hold the line until re-enforcements come keeping my links alive for the time being until I spot a blob moving to my area and switch to a heavy to enforce that same area .
Yeah it might seem like a problem but it doesn't lock one to a specific role for the match or until I die and that's what's different about this game over all the others , the little subtle things that one can do to help the team even more so when your on a team of lesser players and the team your facing is far better then yours .
I believe switching at the depot allows one who is skilled to be able to help those who are less skilled then you yourself even more so when one runs solo .
Against these organized squads , sometimes you need all the help you can get because matchmaking is null and void .
While it might be a problem for some , it's one of the best features of the game to me and allows those that are willing to fight when odds are stacked against them to do so .
