I still don't know why all the sagaris hate. The surya is a harder nut to crack by far. I should know since it is usually up to me to take them out.

In my experience, limited as it may be by only a dozen sorties in my Surya, I have to say that I've had to run from a lot of infantry with swarms and forges to go lick my wounds. Maybe it's my inexperience, or it could be that I just suck at driving HAVs. I consider myself to be somewhat clever though, and can say fairly confidently that I've squeezed out every last bit of PG/CPU to fit my Surya with the best available equipment. I will say again, I find myself running from well equipped AV infantry a lot.

Having said that, In the few head-to-head stand-and-deliver engagements I've had against Sagaris Tanks, I've managed to come out on top more often than not.

120mm plate, 3 efficient reps, 1 voltaic, 1 f45 dcu, viola, you've exceeded the sagaris passive tank and can run it all the time.

Hmmm... when the servers come back online I'll try that out. I don't think I considered stacking 3 efficient reps and went with the one heavy efficient rep with 2 powergrid expansion units.

Not really. This only really happens when a team gets red-lined, but by then the match is basically over and only a complete moron would try calling anything down. When the terminals at A, B, and C are still being hotly contested, I doubt very much that you'll see an experienced pilot waiting at the opposing teams red-line on the off chance they can shoot down a carrier. It's simply not an effective use of your time, and by sitting there in one place, it gives your opponents way too much time to sneak up behind you with Swarm Launchers, Forge Guns, AV grenades and/or Remote explosives. It doesn't take much of a concentrated attack to take a Marauder down.

Albit slower but alot tougher for sure. Actually, I was thinking that these tanks aren't even the top class... From what I've seen, there are 4 tiers of weapons/dropsuits/equipment/modules/etc.. We have Militia, Standard/Basic, Advanced/Enhanced, and Prototype/Complex. By my reckoning, we have Militia HAVs (Soma/Sica), Standard HAVs (Gunloggi/Madrugar), and Advanced HAVs (Sagaris/Surya). What, pray tell, will Prototype HAVs be like?
