What needs buffing and nerfing?

Something needs to be done to Tick-tank, not sure what, but it's never used. Costs more then MBT, is slower and vulnerable when moving. Mobility on a tank is usually what makes it good.

Some suggestions:

Tick tank costing 70 like the other MBT. Yes it's better when still, but it's UP while moving, think it balances out pretty well. If a MBT is guarding the Tick-tank will always lose. And Nod has no healing drones to keep them alive like GDI has for their defense units like MG Squad.

Or make Tick tank faster movement speed, so they can actually get to the pads faster and dig in. Then the price of 80 is okay.

I'm in agreement with the tick tank except the last one. I was hoping that the tank would be given a speed and/or HP bonus so it can reach the pads and guard it from falling into the hands of the enemy. The tick tank is designed to be damage resistant. Giving it an HP boost might not be worth it compared to giving it a speed boost. Once a tick tank has burrowed, nothing short of attacking the tank from a distance counts. MRLS and Giga cannons work if the enemy can't see it; but if they do, they can reach up to it and destroy the ranged unit quickly.

GDI needs a defensive MBT that can survive an attack the same way the tick tank can. I would suggest a predator like tank that has 15 to 20% less HP but when it is idle, it deploys a shield. The shield has an infinite durability compared to the centurion. This shield has a 50% chance of deflecting projectiles, even from artillery and juggernauts. Once a projectile has been deflected, it will fly of to side on where it came from and damage anything there. Lets say this new unit is in a 3 tile pad with an attack bike and a scorpion. Each time one of the 2 nod units attack, they have a 25% chance of damaging their ally. The other 25% gets wasted as if a tank that fired against a rock and the 50% gets through and damages the GDI tank.
