pyramidhead 420 Krullefor Organization Minmatar Republic 41	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:15:00 - [1] - Quote whats more important as i put SP into vehicle things? better turrets or better modules? which do i skill first as a noob tanker? i use missle for my main turret. are level 3 missles alot better then level 1 or just marginally better? example: standard ar and gek38 were like night and day difference in terms of effectiveness (at least to me they were), so im hoping an ADV level turret is going to be equally better than a level 1 turret THANK YOU in advance for any constructive advice

TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 3736	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:33:00 - [5] - Quote Eh, I just went a match where I blew two tanks up with proto missiles (Maddy & Gunny), and was shortly blown up afterwards by some proto swarms. ... Oh god the swarms...
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 8734	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:34:00 - [6] - Quote Unless you're blowing up other HAVs or Structures I think there is a stronger need to get better modules first. AV is a massive threat and every second you add between getting nailed and being able to respond to it will benefit you in the long run.
Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 352	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:39:00 - [7] - Quote Better modules. You gonna die quick and not hit anything unless you have good defence. Also, tanks are **** right now against AV weapons. Best to hang back esp. with missiles. Don't go rolling into the fray unless you absolutely know by way of squad comms nobody is packing AV.
Cdy Wrath D3LTA ACADEMY 5	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:43:00 - [8] - Quote Modules are vastly more important than turrets for tanks, and this is here most of your sp so should go. Also I'd recommend either missle or rail turrets for a new tanker, as you don't have the modules necessary to survive as a blaster tank. Standard turrets are just fine.
Xender17 Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 670	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:44:00 - [9] - Quote If your a gunnlogi... Maybe adv turrets. Nothing can change the outcome of a 1v1 maddy vs gunny
Epicsting pro Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 274	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:46:00 - [10] - Quote LvL 3 missiles and if your shield tanking 2-3 heavy payloads ll make a huge difference on your power. You can 2 shot installations and once you hit proto 2 shot any tank with 7000 armor. Use accelerated missile that were it at. And if you shield tank you need shield resistance mods they make a huge difference. Hopefully this help.

CRAZYHORSE ONE EIGHT CowTek IT Infotech 32	Posted - 2013.09.23 05:53:00 - [12] - Quote Yeah definitely go for the better modules first. Most of my tanks still use advanced turrets due to the hefty PG usage and ISK cost of the prototype. Unless i really need a bit more DPS, which most times i don't, i stick with the advanced even though i have maxed all turret skills. You can fit better defenses with the advanced turrets due to lower PG usage , i.e. better plate/extender/repper, and the ISK cost of the tank will be half that of one fit with a prototype turret .

Nothing can change the outcome of a 1v1 maddy vs gunny yea the maddy loses lol and i use a sica everytime and all i use is standard missile turrets. RANGE is a powerful tool for both offense and defense
