Because of their armor HP. Once a shield tank loses all of its shields, its screwed. There is almost no way to save it if there is immediate AV near by. A militia swarm , or a standard av grenades will kill it once the tank reaches its small armor threshold.
Armor tanks are different because of their armor HP. If their shields go down , they're still able to put up a decent fight. Its armor repairs, and hardenders support its survival.
If I were to use my logo lav, I have a better chance at using to support an armor tank than a shield tank. They have a small shield reserve, but those shields help the tanker eat weapons that would rip through its armor. Proto swarms are far less scary when your shields are constantly being repaired by a logo buggy. Nearly all of the damage would be absorbed, and only 1-2 missals would actually impact his armor, which isn't a big deal.
Plus most AV players are so use to fighting unsupported tanks, that when you actually help one, you receive hate mail from the Aver's XD

A supported shield tank will still get **** on. Trust me if tired it all.
An armor tank with shield support is probably the most effective vehicle combo. The shields absorb weapons that would otherwise shred its armor. and the amount of shields they have will put the av players in a false sense of security.
Shields are now 10% resistant to forges, and 30% resistant to swarms. That bubble can tank quite a bit if it is being repaired by a logi buggy. It takes quite a bit of pressure off your armor repairs if you need to fall back, or tank more AV that would otherwise kill you. |

Personally I think shield tanks should gain 10% bonus to how much health they are receiving from shield transporters, and vise versa for armor tanks, and remote armor repers.
But that's just me. |
