Does the Prowler really need a nerf?

The Vanguard needs something though, but I'm not sure what to buff about it without making it the new FOTMBT.

The Vanguard still has to double clutch shift through like 10 gears to get moving right? If they want to make the Vanguard distinct from the Prowler it's really not that hard, make it tougher to take down. Give it more health/armor. That's what it's supposed to be so why wouldn't they? It's easier to balance by additions than it is by subtractions.

I also disagree that the Prowler doesn't need nerfed. If they thought the Magrider needed to be nerfed I don't see how anyone can say that Prowler doesn't need nerfed. Whatever cannon the HEAT is, that's what the problem is. They basically get a VS VPC/PC all in one since they get double shots. If they want to leave the Prowler as it is than give us back our Magrider and make the Vanguard into what it is supposed to be, a beast of a tank. It's what they should of done in the first place, but everyone screamed nerf and I think finally people are realizing it wasn't the right move to balancing MBT's. Make each one unique so that they're all interesting rather than making them all mundane.
