1. I'm skeptical right off the bat, because I havent heard any, any chatter about nerfing armor/buffing exp AV- where's the evidence for this?

2. *ahem* I did just happen to lose a Madruger like 10 minutes ago.......
-after getting one swarm bringing my shields down, in a match that only had two other players in it- I activated my two hardeners- and start scanning for reds. zooming in I see incoming swarms and activate my repper,

and then no more madruger.

lows = best rep, best 180 plate, 2x best hardeners + dmg mod.

I bet 4 damage mods in a B type Assault proto suit & Proto Swarm = woosh no more 'any' Tank, they should fix stacking but on all the mods, tanks included.

K sure, but---------- you just dreamed up some hypothetical max damage scenario in an armchair setting. This happened within the first 2minutes of an ambush with 2 players on the other side, maybe 6 with randoms on the other side at the time of (low dramatic voice) destruction

Long story short armor tanks were nerfed and explosive AV does more damage to armor now. Can't confirm this, was worried to drop my armor tank after reading your post, but from my testing I took about 700 dmg from a militia swarm (I can't believe how long i had to sit and watch the nublet get a lock). 700ish dmg seems about normal to me for my tank. Tanks currently used in pub matches are just there for number padding as the blue dots have no idea what they are doing, 20-30 kills per match without a tank loss = acceptable it seems. But 1 Pro AV guy and YOUR NAME HERE is running and screaming for teh hills because they are taking his candy. Well if someone specs deep into Anti Vehicle, they should be able to make it a living hell for you to use that tank efficienctly, it's not the tanks job to kill infantry, it's your squad mates that should try and kill this guy. Good tanks take around 10-20% damage from a militia forge, grenades don't dent it at all if your not specced for it, like it should but someone specialised in AV should be able to take out a tank regardless of fitting, regardless of how much ISK it costs, it is your choice to field it. If your corpies can't take out a single AV dude, well what can i say...?

My guess is they quit :p

This happened within the first 2minutes of an ambush with 2 players on the other side, maybe 6 with randoms on the other side at the time of (low dramatic voice) destruction Looking at it, a Militia Fit AV can 3 shot a Militia tank, using thatas a base the same Proto AV should theoretically be able to 3 shot a Proto tank. My Duvolle with my proto suit & 4x complex damage mods eats a heavy in +- 24 rounds (@600 dps) just enough time for him to say "WTF" , even less when i hit him in the face and his suit costs around 300k, where mine is 170k. I also do that from my armchair where i play the game, ISK spend in Eve or Dust does not equal to being invincible and tanks vs blueberries are way too much invincible. 1 Dedicated AV guy and a dedicated tank guy comes crying, sounds to me AV works like it should and tankers have felt way too safe inside their tank shell until SP catches up to them for infantry. for the record, i dont hate tanks, i just hate the stat padding jerks that drive em because they can against new people.
