I created an alt a few days ago and decided to spec into Gallente HAVs. I transfer 5 million isk from my main to get started.
At first I thought tanking was a piece of cake (I was farming kills at the academy), then reality set in after I got int a real match where people could actually kill me. I didn't have a problem with being blown up because I am new at it . I had a problem with not being about to turn a profit. The price of tanks is super high. I now see why tankers complain about being blown up. If you get blown up 2 times, that's a 1 million Isk loss. People earn about 240,000 per game which means you need to play 4 games to make it up.
I never new how much I was costing tankers when I blew up their tanks. This experience has made me feel sorry for tankers.
I absolutely don't support nerfing AV (I'm a forge gunner), but CCP should lower the price of vehicles. This would help both AV players and tankers.
AV players will have more targets to take out, and tankers will be able to turn a profit.
My fit for anyone interested was:
80GJ Compressed Blaster
20GJ Scattered Blaster x2
Militia Active Heat Sink
Militia Powergrid Expansion Unit x3
Heavy IG-L Polarized Armor Regenerator
180mm Reinforced Steel Plates.
Some tips on how best to fit my tank would be appreciated. |

I will give the armor hardeners a try. What about the armor repairer? Should I keep that or should I get the light version. |

I will give the stabilized a try. I chose the compressed because that's the one I always get killed from when I'm forge gunning. |

I don't see how making tanks cheaper will make anyone unhappy. |

But then maybe there would be a reason for dedicated AV players in every match as well! To keep down LAV murder taxis and to suppress/destroy HAVs.
At this point I totally support a reduction in price on tanks.
Maybe later on they can make something like a 'Behemoth-Class Attack Vehicles" which requires 3 people to drive it (one driver, one gunner, and one vehicle module user) and these things can just be beastly nasty crazy as they will require coordination and 3 skilled pilots.
I would also like to see more tanks on the field. Sometimes I get into matches where I'm useless because no one is using vehicles. I don't like FG roof farming infantry, so I just sit back and AFK matches with no vehicles. |

He doesn't have the SP for that. All I'd say is swap out the compressed blaster for the scattered.
True I only have 670,000 lifetime sp. I'm working on my hardeners right now. |
