Ill be the one to say tanks dont need a major buff, other than modifications to the current races to fix the imbalence between armor and shield . The problem is we are stuck with standard vehicles, or the completely useless enforcer varient for a poop ton of sp. I think av weapons are fine the way they are (mostly). And tankers, like myself just need to wait for advanced and proto versions. I wouldnt expect to survive wearing a standard suit vs adv or proto weapons. Before other tankers grill me know that i run a tank every single match, and i have a k/d in the twelves(missile tank in pub) so no redline snipe. ccp will never buff standard vehicles to the point where they can beat avd or proto gear, otherwise CCP will have to redo it when avd proto vehicles come out.

unless you are forgeting to put on hardeners, extenders, and boosters you shouldnt be killed in one-shot. Im not saying tanks are strong its just your going up against proto and adv gear. i can survive a whole set of av grenades, but i still try to avoid getting on top of infantry.
