I keep hearing threads from tankers talking about the need to nerf AV and AV talking about the need to nerf tank health. Why not do BOTH? Also, let's nerf large blasters. Tankers will hear this and scream, "Noooo! Not my magic 25/0 tube!" Hear me out, I'll explain.
If we nerf tank health and AV damage equally, the tank is just as difficult to kill, but this secretly buffs dropships and LAVs. Both vehicles are currently regarded as a joke due to their knack for blowing up. Now, if a tank doesn't do as much damage, this also buffs the DS's and LAVs, but here's where the unforeseen buff comes in: If your main gun is doing less damage, infantry will not work as hard to kill you. So, you're just as difficult to kill but not as many people will be out to kill you.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I should note that I'm a dropship pilot. |

This is actually a decent idea. 
Whilst doing it, of course, balancing shield vehicles and armour vehicles. |

how do you propose less people will try to kill us? and why not just buff DS and LAV defense?
tankers want an av nerf because people with sub proto gear can solo tanks in proto gear. also the cost difference between AV and tanks.[arguments I've heard doesn't necessarily represent my views] |

I'm AV, I'm willing to get nerfed as long as the other vehicles get nerfed.
LAV's are just annoying... Buffing them makes them even more annoying. Most people just try to use it for running people over. |

Really? I only use mine for repping. ANd I never thought of LAV's as annoying, but free WP's. |

Well, they are easy to dispose of... So are flies, I do it for the SP and ISK but it does not give me much satisfaction. Kind of hitting a fly with a flyswatter, not really much to be proud of... Though, someone has to have the balls to do it. that's where I come in.

If one doesn't completely tank their vehicle (>9000HP), they're pretty much forced to rail snipe bc they can't take hits. |

I was trying to get at a similar point earlier when I suggested a limitation on vehicle ammunition, instead of how it's infinite right now, in exchange for some reduction to the power of AV weapons which are honestly the way they are now thanks to vehicles having unlimited ammunition and being able to spam shots everywhere for the entire match with impunity.
Besides, you can give Logistics vehicles the ability to do mobile resupply, thereby providing more rewards for those that fly them. |
