If vehicles are in Nova they really need to be rebuild from the ground up with a set of overarching rules that ensure they remain in a stable place and that neither infantry nor vehicle pilots feel significantly disadvantaged against one another.
At the risk of triggering the usual reaction when I post on the topic, I would like to see vehicles fall into a niche similar to titanfall. Powerful, deadly, useful as hell, but ultimately as expendable as a dropsuit in the field. Moving away from the ungodly cost model and over to something new would be my vote.
I also think vehicles should be developed concurrently with the maps intended to showcase their roles. Vehicles should be vulnerable to certain things, not only other vehicles, but I would love to see a vehicle designed to prey upon tank-hunter sentinels, or AVmandos.
What I'm going to get flak for is...
I think that as long as dropships are a thing, the classic idea of an MAV is redundant and unnecessary. We bluntly don't need APCs.
HAVs I'm on board with Adamance and his comments.
LAVs I think should be renamed Fast-attack vehicles and simply made available on the battlefield.
I would see actual LAVs as tank and AV hunter vehicles.
I have my biases towards designs built around roles, rather than having a tank because tanks are cool.

vehicles can't do everything. They aren't exactly viable at all on the map showcased at Fanfest, being the internals of a Caldari Chimera Carrier.
There are things infantry can do that vehicles can't. And bluntly, some of us would rather perforate a tank than drive one.

To expand, Titans in titanfall are absolutely goddamn lethal, and worth the price of admission.
But they can be cut down by infantry players using the correct weapons, tactics and not being idiots. In fact the titans go down pretty damn fast against rock-solid players.
