This is quite hunestly one of the stupidest topics I have ever seen. HAVs are not OP. They rip balls off of people not equipped to kill tanks. This is as it should be. If you are tooling around with ARs, mass drivers, sniper rifles and HMGs then you are getting rolled for your lunch money.

The last three Sagaris marauders I got into it with I blew the kitten out of them in three shots with my forge gun. One took four because he had a proper tank fit, go figure. Im running full proto AV fits right now, and, militia tanks take one more shot than an LAV for me to execute.

Surya marauders are trickier but I kill more of them than escape because I took the time to learn how to kill them. Tanks are only overpowered if no one on your team is willing to deploy the proper tools to destroy them. The toolkit is there, and if you take the time to use it correctly you can become a holy kittening terror for vehicle drivers.

Further for you dinguses spouting lore, all the tanks need is a cybernetic neural uplink. Hydrostatic capsules were created to sustain capsuleers, but the only reason they exist is the neural burner used to transfer consciousness accurately is rediculously bulky. the capsules were built around it. With the advent of the DUST neural transfer implant, the hydrostatic capsule has been rendered obsolete. It, and the clone mechanics in EVE are due for a redesign.

Finally, 99% of AV in DUST 514 is militia grade. Somewhere, you people were spoon-fed the delusion that militia grade AV was simply good enough. It is if you have five or more militia AV concentrating fire, but if you want an HAV burned use proto AV. They don't shrug those hits off. They run or they die.
