So I want to learn how to use Armour Tanks for when the Amarrian HAV is released. Though I'm sure the style of play will vary between the Gallentean and Amarrian HAV's I still figure I should learn the basics of fittings, manoeuvring, targeting, and threat analysis.
So basically what I would like to know is how to make a decent Soma fit with minimal skill investments in Gallentean HAV skills, and generally know what as a prospective HAV pilot my job is on the battlefield.
Also any tips would be appreciated and if anyone would take the time to run a few matches with me in my Soma fit I'd compensate them with ISK. |

It'll be a while before Amarrian HAVs show I think and in the meantime the Madrugar is an excellent choice - put on hardeners, a plate, and a heavy repper and you're set.
Dude you know how much I hate dirty Gallentean scum. Im not going to waste SP on their tanks when Amarrian tanks will soon be here.... I hope.
TLDR- Never driving scummy gallentean tanks, all I want is fits to practice with. |

I believe Amarr tanks will be hybrid tankers because the suits follow this line. So investing in armor and shield modules for the tank hopefully won't be a waste. But specialize in armor modules first. This is how I'll make a Soma fit:
-Scattered large blaster
-2 small missile turrets for lowest PG possible
-Heavy armor repairer (lowest PG one)
-Light (60mm) armor plate (lowest PG one)
-Active armor hardener
-PG upgrade
-Heavy shield extender
-Light shield booster
I'm not sure if the CPU is enough to equip all that, most likely you'll have increase the CPU skill.
Shield HP: 2573
Armor HP: 3400
Yeah looks weak but that will give you a better understanding of how Amarr tanks could work. Good luck.

Vehicles don't suck there are huge imbalances I no see between HAV's and AV.... its almost comical that I didn't see these issues before. |

TLDR- Never driving scummy gallentean tanks, all I want is fits to practice with. I'm speccing AV, just for you.  Seriously though, if you want to do tanking in an armour HAV you'll have to use a Gallente one or wait a good few months. Probably until next year.
I hate CCP... but love them as well....
I knew you'd say something like that Arkenai.
I may not be able to beat you EVE side but I sure as **** will Dust Side. |

Honestly just wish CCP would release Amarr and Minmatar vehicles already.
dude I love playing tanks now. I would be full time tanker if it didn't cost my what little odds and ends aurum reserved I have to keep me in Maddies while I learnt he ropes.
However using Soma's as little throw away vehicles I amazing. No one ever expects me to jump out and be more proficient as infantry than as a tanker. |
