Yes please! Make passive shield tanking work like it does in EVE while you're at it!

how does it work in EVE?

It beats armor 90% of the time.

Shields recharge based on time, not based on a recharge rate. So essentially doubling your shields will double your recharge rate.

It beats armor 90% of the time.

Just wondering since shield tanks definitely need a buff and armor reps/resisters need a little bit of a Nerf ALONG WITH the shield buff.

armor tanks are clearly better than shield. >:(

I have used both tanks people fail to recognize the pros and cons of each one has passive and more speed the other is slower but can stack on more armor however this comes at the cost of more pg and cpu requirements. There's always some trade off I find shield tanks easier to fit because they cost less cpu and pg and are more well adapt to fit on pg modules without sacrificing shields. Shield are obviously faster but can't really equip nitrous because they would have to sacrifice shield. This is called balance obviously don't run up to a Gallente tank and try and beat it with a blaster catch it at a distance with a railgun.

Cough cough I call bs . Look at the base stats regarding speed.

Your mind is clouded. I do not approve of this one.

Why do we still have these people roaming the world?

"Shields are obviously faster.."

Sure they are buddy. Sure they are.

You must forget the fact that plates slow down our HAV's....


Peace, Godin

if a armor tank has anything more than a single 60mm plate its slower than shield.... now a properly fit armor tank might outrun a shield tank with nitros but thats our advantage for not needing high slots.... shield tanks benefit from having resistance to most forms of AV and the ones that do extra damage to them are only 10% bonus (besides flux) and shield tanks also dont have to give up their main slots to get the extra pg they need armor tanks do....

neither tank needs a nerf they are both UP compared to how many ppl carry some form of AV but i will agree shield tanks need a significant buff

Thank you, I've been stating pretty much the exact thing on multiple occasions in this forum (except the fact that Shield tanks need any sort of buff, that is untrue in my mind). Alas, i am going against popular opinion here, and it is an uphill battle.

Shield tanks are weaker to: Plasma cannon (sucks), Forge guns, Rail turrets, Blaster turrets, flux grenades, Orbitals (pending confirmation).

Armor tanks are weaker to Swarms, Missiles turrets, AV grenades, Proximity mines.

Thats 6 to 4 if we're counting.

And I don't know if you've driven both since uprising but its not the same as it used to be. Shield tanks are now slower than armor tanks by a considerable margin. Acceleration tips towards shields BARELY.

Armor tanks need a minor buf/change to be viable in PC.

Shield tanks need a ton of love.

How I've had a full proto sagaris and a full proto madrugar each has its own pros and cons I am an experienced tankers.

did u even read the first line of my message? if an armor tank has more than a single 60mm plate(and what armor tank doesnt?) its slower than shield

and all those things that do extra damage to shields(flux and orbitals asside) only do 20% more to shields than armor... on the other hand all the stuffs strong against armor do i believe its 60% more to armor than shields

as far as the grenades go(which i believe are the best form of AV atm)
AV grenade pros:bonus damage against armor, homes in, dirt cheap(proto grenades asside i believe never looked at their prices)
cons:weaker against shields
flux grenade pros:extra damage to shields, works on infantry, dirt cheap(proto asside)
cons:no damage to armor, doesnt home in

as for using both tanks when uprising first released i tried out both a poorly fitted soma and a poorly fitted sica they both felt pretty close to eachother in terms of mobility on the other hand a properly fit madrugar will have packed on stronger plates and a properly fit gunnlogi wouldnt have lost any speed at all
