Guess it's time to bust out your militia suit and go 25/4ish that way instead.

You mean like all the retards that couldnt figure out how to put some SP into a custom AV class, and instead chose to come here and whine about "OP tanks" til CCP went and overdid a nerf so that all vehicles are ****? Is that what you mean?

For the sake of clarification for those with short memories, the first whiners to get their way were the tank drivers.

Anyway, what the devs are doing is see-saw balance. What they do is they balance too far in one direction to make the stats clearer in a shorter period of time - then they what's dieing too fast and what's living too long and dial in the balance.
I've never personally been happy with the results of this "technique", but it's what you do when you're strapped for time and someone wants numbers to whack off to.

I feel they need to think in a less linear fashion and focus more on the FPS core that is infantry then bring vehicles in as a way to enhance that interaction. Branch out from there instead of trying to force a balance between what is essentially two completely different games. LAV's and Dropships seem to fit fine, mostly due to the fact that they enhance the FPS by supplying an alternative means of transport in these massive maps.
Tanks however do nothing to enhance the core FPS, they're either some game rule defying behemoth or a bonus target to justify the SP sunk into AV.

At the FPS level, I would like to see them as a sort of prestige item that helps a team farm WP while providing mobile fire support/area denial, the tip of the spear in a siege on an area well protected by installations, and be the, well... be the Tank in the TPS vehicular scheme.
