Tbh, I think AV is fine where it is atm, and this is coming from a dedicated Gunnlogi pilot. I say this for two reasons:

1. We currently only have access to the Militia and Standard variants of tanks, as well as the Enforcers. Enforcers are (supposed to be) glass cannons, while the standard version exists to provide a balance between tank and gank. I'm waiting for our Marauders to come back to really lean one way or the other, but so far I see proto AV going against standard equipment.

2. A lot of tank drivers are idiots. Seriously. I see many people drive these things out into the open and start firing at individuals like they're a solo pubstoming infantry meatgrinder. These will be the guys that get snuck up on, blown up (I sometimes wonder what the severity of QQ would be if we had a C4 equivalent), and then come here to tell us that "I died. They too stronk". I find that my survivability is almost assured if I stay with the group (hell, sometimes I'll lag behind a bit) and have a backup plan ready instead of flooring it in reverse.

I think what he mean't was the AV nades not AV weapons themself and I do agree about the AV nades being to much of a replacement and with me and my proto swarms I don't notmally have a issue blowing up a mlt LAV but thats me

AV nades, from my perspective, are fine. I normally roll my tank out with a pack of infantry a bit ahead of me, and rare is the occasion that a redberry goes unnoticed by the squad I'm following. I have read threads saying that AV nades will occasionally blow up LAV drivers, but leave the vehicle intact. As hilarious as this is, I can't say whether or not it's intended to work like that. EDIT: I should mention that I roll Gunnlogi's, which have an innate explosive resistance, so that might influence my opinion.
