I agree, the MAV is way OP. The AAV7-A1 on the other hand is fairly balanced. Pros: Cons:
 * Amphibious.
 * Lots of health.
 * The whole team can spawn on it.
 * Good firepower, enough to take out a tank with a driver who is distracted/team-griefing/slightly less intelligent than a mildly retarded chipmunk with a late-stage syphillis infection.
 * The turret has two weapons, allowing for more tactical flexibility.
 * Driver cannot use weapons, so some teams use it as a 1-man deployable turret/spawnpoint.
 * It is spawned almost exclusively on maps where it's camo is of no use, with the only exception I can think of being Wake Island 2014.
 * Almost certainly the slowest vehicle in the game, barring the forklift which I haven't driven yet.
 * It's a miniature Sandcrawler. Like in Star Wars, y'know, that big brown vehicle the Jawas use?
 * The gunner is the only one who can use a weapon, the driver can only maneuver the vehicle to safety and the four passengers are forced to sit with their thumbs up their asses while their only protection from the plethora of explosions bombarding their positions is being heavily damaged, simultaneously killing anyone who tries to escape the Commuter's Coffin.
