Last night I messed around a little bit in my Gunnlogi, which is a rarity because I fly Pythons most of the time. It's got a large standard missile turret on it, and I'd never given it much time. Turns out, it's fantastic at tank busting. I didn't lose to a single tank. As long as your shots land, you can beat a railgun or a blaster on a shield tank because they will have to wait on their heat, and it absolutely wrecks armor tanks due to the missile bonus on them. My only fear is that I'll run into another missile Gunnlogi some day. Oh, and ground AV units. I'm doubtful any Python pilots are as good of a tank buster as myself though :P |

ADS suck against tanks, it takes forever to kill the damn things, particular gunnlogis, they're harder to kill than maddy's for some reason, probably the explosive bonus against armour. And it's a shame that large missile turrets suck so much against infantry, it's kinda stupid and annoying, just sitting there, spamming missiles, hitting everywhere but where the reddots are. |

The trick to fighting a missile shield tank as an armor blaster tank is to force it into CQC, i.e. baiting it around a corner and burning down its shields WHILE activating every single survival module. 9 times out of 10, my Madrugar will win. -IF- I engage in an open place where the missile tank has a clear Line of Sight, it would be suicide.
Also, rail armor tanks shouldn't be within your missile range in the first place and with right placement will shred your shield tank easily. The rail tank fails in CQC vs. both blasters and missile which is why it should be kept out of easy to reach range. Pound the enemy with impunity from a distance!
Just my two cents. |

My blaster Falchion will take out your missile Gunnlogi every time. My railgun fit however will make you cry

Just my two cents. My newest railgun Gunnlogi fit destroyed a 6000 armor blaster Madrugar in CQC (it was about 20m) in its first match. We both started shooting at the same time. I win with a few hundred shield to spare. |

I have a pretty simple fit which I call a "snipa sica" Just a sica with a railgun, and turret mods up the ass. |

When there are 2 of us we can take out a standard tank like its nothing, and usually the ones with the best offense = a bad defense. |

Yeah, I just leave militia turrets on the sides to save money unless one of my corp mates requests. But, exclusively level 5 turret skills (including Caldari Assault Dropship), a pair of proto damage mods, and an XT-1 Accelerated definitely get the job done. |

I've been ripping apart armor tanks in this thing. |

In my Maddy I never fear any missile units except if they get me by surprise and I have no idea where they are, in which cases I just retreat somewhere, just once have I lost my Maddy to missiles and that was when I actually retreated right in front of the enemy Missile tank and I was still oblivious to it being there and only after it had blown me up I saw it (he was on elevated ground 100 yards from me) but every other time they die if I know where they are, no matter if they get to engage me with my repper on cooldown, they still can't hurt me as I just drive right past them and they can't seem to be able to land hits on me then. Maybe some very skilled ones could land hits. |

Just my two cents. Large missile turrets are bad. 9 times out of 10 your madrugar will lose - that other time the other tanker will feel pity for you Railgun tanks are good against other tanks at all ranges tldr - stop spreading nonsense |
