Alright, so i'm a little new to the tanking and I can't turn back now. I have put over 1 million into my tank already and I really feel like the fit I have now isn't strong enough to keep swarms from easily destroying my costly tank. I've seen shield tanks on the opposing team that literally cannot be destroyed by swarmies. My squad got so fed up with that tank so we all decided we'd get the swarm launchers and they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to that tank, (There were like 6 ppl with swarm launchers) his shield went down just a notch. The thing that bothers me is that, people with militia launchers can just as easily stalk and kill me then the advanced launchers.
I just want some suggestions on how I can get my shield tank better than what it is now. Anyone have advice or fits for a newbie tanker?
My fit: (2x )Resistance amps (supplemental) (1) Heavy converse shield booster (1) Heavy shield extender (1) Shield Extender
(2) Beta PG expansions
Turrets (2x) cycled missles 80GJ scattered blaster
Is this a good fit? Could you give some advice on how I could improve?

Here's a link to a YouTube video I found while looking for fits shows a passively and actively hardened Gunnlogi (not sure which one will act as a link, if not just copy and paste the URL below into search) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQcU0sU5EyEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wQcU0sU5EyEHope you found it helpful.
I've watched that. I wasn't of help to me. |

Why thank you. Not trying to "*****" but I just figure you should get what you paid for, if you have a militia swarm launcher, you shouldn't be able to just as easily destroy my tank like those who actually earn the right to, by putting all their SP into destroying tanks. |

Could you give some advice on how I could improve? epic fit except i would rip you to pieces with my soma and shread you to dust with my proto rail... fits are made to be kept secret, you must experiment. i have over 8 million sp into shield tanks- you 1 million is nothing..
You're wrong, every soma I went up against failed. I had at least 9 fights with soma's. Now, I can't beat a mag once they activate their hardener so I try to keep out of non-militia tanks way. I knew what type of tank I wanted to build, and it wasn't a tank vs tank fit, it was a tank vs infantry fit. The problem i'm having, once again, is that I have exhausted my PG and can't fit anything useful. I need a good fit or at least a point to the right direction. Now if you want to keep yours secret, that's fine, but i'm not going to keep experimenting with a tank that is costly. As soon as I earn the isk, it leaves. |

Benjamin Ciscko wrote:My Madrugar fit is one polycrystalline 180 millimeter plate one light repper then three active N-1 type hardeners and a shield booster to better survive swarms and it works pretty well. A similar Gunnlogi fit would be the best shield extender three active shield hardeners (cheap sp and isk) and the shields version of a repper I think it's called a regenerator. I am however unware if shield hardeners are better than their passive counter part.
Shield hardeners are a pain to me. They are no good giving the fact they only last 10 seconds and have a 30 second wait. And yes, I use the shield booster as a defense by turning it on when I see the swarms coming, and my health barely goes down. But that's only for 10 seconds. Without the booster, i'm as good as dead. |

I've never heard of a forge gun that has 4000 direct damage. The rest you said, I couldn't comprehend. Sorry, i'm a dumb 16 year old. |

Your not kidding about the proto swarms... I'll check it out.
Since this post, I can say i improve ALOT but i could use the help for finding a fit thats almost perfect |

The rest you said, I couldn't comprehend. Sorry, i'm a dumb 16 year old. Hes talking about the Breach Forge. Damn monster got me with it once, but that was in my Gunnlogi, I dare him to try it on my Madrugar. I usually run 2 Shield Boosters on my Gunnlogi (Heavy and Low), haven't changed my fit in a while, but if you have the SP, get Nitrous Boosters, damn things have save my Madrugar when it had <500 Armour plenty of times. It'd also come in useful if you find yourself ambushed by a Madrugar, just activate it and drive, and pray that he hasn't got one too.
lol that was funny. My shield right now is at 6158. I have another tank which I use for railguns and the shield on that one is 7158. I was wondering, do you thin the madrugar is better overall? |

You might not have access to the right gear so, get the next best thing you do. Also, you might not have enough PG/CPU initially. Can't fit a stabilized ion cannon on that, it's over 1500 PG.
lol yeah, and I only have 2300 at this point. I'm working on core upgrades now
