I'm kinda bummed about the resist shield being nerfed. It allowed me to stand up to a direct tank hit and keep on going long enough to get another rocket off, now it just slows you down more and makes you easier to one shot. It helps you take indirect hits, but a direct shot still kills you.
-edit- I just had a big WTF moment. Fighting at Tawrich, I was heavy assault on the ground. There was a vanguard, a magrider, and a lightning there (I'm NC). I got behind the lightning and fired of my remaining rockets, killing the lightning. The vanguard and magrider were firing at each other, and as I had no more rockets I hopped inside the vanguard's turret and started shooting the magrider. The vanguard driver stops WHILE BEING FIRED UPON to lock his vehicle and boot me out of the turret, then dies to the magrider. The magrider shoots me and then rides off in flames with a tiny sliver of health. I was so bewildered I asked the vanguard driver why he booted me out, and he said he was in a squad and wanted a squad gunner. As if that somehow explained how me helping him kill the magrider would have been a bad thing.
A few minutes later I hopped in another vanguard driven by a different guy ALSO while it was being fired upon by a magrider, and the driver did the same exact thing. This time he didn't die because of it, but is having a gunner to help during a fight such a bad thing? I'll just assume that was the previous driver's squad gunner and they're both in the same outfit, as the idea that this level of idiocy pervades the general gaming populace is just too frightening to believe.
