Yeah, vehicles are so OP that when PC teams se a lot of them they don't get vehicles to counter... they all go AV...  They know that they got a better chance with AV and turrets than they do grabbing a tank themselves against good tankers or dropship pilots, period! Also, the AV cost 10x less! Eb ads is terrible and ghosts team isn't elite and we had good fights vs you when we were active. If you had good ads pilots they would be praised same as Derrith, Parthok, and me. FA always used at least one tank and 1-2 ads. Also the use of av has more to do with overwatch spam not balance issues.
I wasn't around in EB for those battles you refer to, but i'm sure what you say is true. That doesn't change the facts about the financial comparisons of vehicle v AV though.
We have as good of ads pilots as i'm looking for, and they do what I ask. Being praised by your 20 man circle isn't praise
I'm not arguing the skill of the pilot from pilot to pilot, that's a moot point. I'm arguing the fact that AV is indeed proto while ADS not so much. AV yields insane points, and a monkey can do it, ADS not so much. I haven't really went in depth, or added tanks to the equation yet?!
Even the best pilot's die once, and lose half their PC earnings. AV guy can die once, and isn't even phased financially.
One more thing!
I humbly request that any vet stop bringing up unbalanced PC hay days if they're going to keep ending every statement with "but we don't play this game anymore"
Well that's helpful?! You guys were outclassing 85% of the playerbase in experience and SP, but want to do a comparison of greatness? I don't get that mentality. Half the playerbase just recently realized what SSD cards were, but you wanna say that they all suck lol! Well, ofcourse they sucked back then! You guys were the equivalent of armored mechs vs primative rock throwers?!
If you still play by all means have at it, but if you're "retired" do us all a favor and STFU! Also, if you're playing with a titan one, or any of the other performance enhancing modifications please DO NOT tell us how great your 1v1 skills are?! Seriously?!
Not directly aimed at you Moores, but there's been a large amount of this behavior lately here in the forums, and some of these guys were second string at best by today's standards?! Trying to compare themselves to guys who didn't rock mods who really played well with the team is an insult that I won't tolerate. There were some really good players back then that really were doing it! They deserve their credit, but some of them were simply on the PC team?! Not tactical at all, and couldn't lead 3 little girls out of a wet paper bag?!
Some of them I've never even seen in PC, or heard of, but he slapping on the vet tag saying "well "WE" stop playing this game a while ago cuz everyone sucks but "US"?! I'm reading this sh*t like "who the f*ck is this guy?"
I'm the last guy to ever claim i'm better than anyone else at a role, and enjoy learning from friend and foe alike. These arrogant *sshholes are annoying, and forget how bad the game was back when they were whoever they say they were?! The game is still horribly balanced at best, and there has been FOTM the entire time that guys have taken advantage of. Try that heavy/logi sh*t nowadays and see where it gets you lol!
My hat goes off to any merc willing to fly these skies at any point in this games history because frankly the dropship clearly has been on the back burner on CCP's list for a very long time. Hell i'm a tanker when it comes to vehicles, and can't fly a lick, but I feel their pain trying to do a role that isn't even complete yet?! 
Currently, playing PC with almost every merc on the field capable of the same versatility is much harder in my opinion than back in the day when mercs still had skill points all over the place. Back then how many mercs were you guys killing that had 20 mil SP in all their dropsuit upgrades maxed out? How many were prof 5 in every weapon they had, with year's of experience using them? How many had endless versatility in dropsuits and vehicles alike? How many of those teams you faced had a worth while FC? What was the FOTM then lol?
You get what I mean? Some of those vets still play, and if they're honest can vouch for the improved gameplay of yesterday's rookies. I myself, at that time would've been barely at 15 mil SP?! Who was I gonna rock at that level when guys in PC were closing on 80+ mil SP lol? The idea is absurd lol!
Today, literally every merc I face is prof 5, upgrades maxed, year's of experience, and old school knife tricks ain't working on them no more lol! These guys transition fast, adapt quickly, and can do almost everything at the drop of a dime!
I wouldn't compare stack teams of vets killing noobs to the teams of today. Currently EB has beaten every team fighting currently in PC. They aren't the same EB from the past. I wouldn't be here if they were! We don't beat any drums, and raise any flags. We grind away, argue like cats and dogs over tactics, (win or lose lol), and we are still training new players everyday. Some can hack it, and some can't.
I'm positive if the old OH, FA, and others got together and played again they'd be a force to be reckoned with, and frankly we'd appreciate the help since the spanish now outnumber us 3 to 1?! However, we're what's left of the american playerbase holding it down as best we can, and I'd appreciate a tad bit of credit where it is due. Thank you o7

The redline is not where most tankers WANT to be, but are all too often forced there by AV that doesn't render, and the circumstances on the battlefield.
In the pubs tankers (not speaking for DS pilots in the instance) are heavily forced to the redline due to the lack of blue support on the ground. Ground troops seem not to appreciate vehicle support because they sure don't protect it lol!
No reason I can think of that I call in a blaster, kill the 6 guys near A, and not only do they come back to swarm me to death, but the blues don't kill swarmers or take the d*amn point?!
In PC being a tanker is a much more costly, but effective, endeavor. The ground troops target AV with a purpose!!! You work in unison on targeted areas, and with the exception of all AV being pro, exp, or officer you don't have near as many problems.
I'm pretty much never in the redline in FW and PC, but in the pubs it's almost a staple, or you die?!
If CCP would give us more options than (HARDENER, HARDENER, HARDENER) for every fit, i'd happily stay out of the redline to help my team. Currently everything is hinged off of your d*mn hardeners?! 
Without hardeners you better be in the redline, or you might as well be in an LAV.
