The old "to kill a tank, you should bring out a tank" logic was flawed because people didn't want to have to spec into something just to kill it... And that's a lot of points to spend getting into a role that isn't useful in half the situations.
Don't get me wrong tho, those points were spent having fun, but as someone who enjoyed both ground and vehicle play it was kind of a pain having to spec into both.
I don't really care about fittings and ****, I liked the occasional teamwork and strategy that vehicles brought to the game, so I hope they add them back in and that any changes making vehicles more accessible make that better.
Though it does bother me, that the lack of vehicles on release, makes it likely we'll end up with tiny maps where "controlling the map" is less of a strategically moving your infantry to certain zones and more "hold this hallway with yo mass driver."
So yeah, please tell me we'll get decent sized maps, because even with infantry only, some of the tiny playable areas we ended up with in the end killed the fun in Dust. Lets not forget the solo av logic as well..1 dude who spent like no sp an a fraction of the isk, should solo a tank with ease..no matter what you'll have QQ with people thinking they shouldn't have to do anything just get the easy W (talking about both sides) That argument was stupid on both sides, but if i managed to get 3 proto packed AV grenades and proto 3 swarm shots into a tank, it should blow up. Especially if i smack it on the weak spot. AV wasn't cheap, less SP for sure, but in order to kill the tank you left yourself wide open to anyone with a decent gun meaning you'd die a lot.
One person who has no isk or SP investment shouldn't solo a tank, ever. But a person who has level 5 + proficiency in the AV weapon, AV grenades and a proto suit as well as the other skills to have a good fit should be able to, not a guaranteed kill but a very high chance.

I'd like to say hardener stacking was a big problem for balance. Might have been better to harden part of the shield/hull and weaken the rest, then you only tank a certain direction and good AV positioning surrounding the tank would mean it's death... While the tank is still effectively able to tank and have decent hp. Or there's always reducing the movespeed when a hardener is active, so you become completely immobile when you're tanking it out... Giving av the chance to surround the tank and block its escape when the hardeners drop. Hardeners really did throw a spanner in the works. They had little to no drawback due to the red line existing, mitigating the long cool downs they had.
Though i don't think that tanks should be the focal point of AV/V balance, otherwise dropships and LAVs and MAVs get borked as well. Maybe introduce different kinds of swarms that work on different vehicles or give all hulls the same base HP and DS and LAVs have much less fitting room and fitting slots.

Stupid hardener stacking ruined the fun, not vehicles. Vehicles should be in the game at some point and a balance between AV and vehicles needs to be made early.

They never found out how to balance them though. Better off without them if they don't fit in the game. As far as the " play another game / you're just bad / salt salt salt" comments, I can't believe people are still so butthurt about Dust. My signature still hold true then. The balance was getting there. When the patch/hotfix came out and they nerfed the swarm launcher. All that was needed after that was slight changes, but theyGÇï made stupid hardeners and reps passive.

CCP should do another game using large scale surface maps with the vehicles from Dust. No need for infantry. Would be awesome. That's just world of tanks with different tanks.
