I wouldn't mind, having slightly better active module that would be fantastic, nor to mention a slightly better turning speed. but yeah some slight EHP buff, an AMARR HAV release and pilot suit and I'm a happy man.

Sheild tanks

Passive Health: Pitiful (500- 1.5K)
Equivalent Active Health: Collasal (20-30 K)
Main turret power: Low
Speed: Hypersonic
Ammo reserves: Moderate
** Rail: 40
** Blaster: 300
**Missile: 30 salvos

The sheild tank is all about hit and run, it can sponge enough damage via active modules to leave that pitiful base hp untouched. 2 Shots with a forge will be enough to fell a sheild tanker without his active modules. This makes sheild tanks perfect for a punching a hole in enemy defences.

The large active health means a sheild tanker doesn't need to be concerned about av while his modules are on. But when he is vunerable his lack of scanning means he is entirely dependent on infantry support. Passive modules help a little but only serve purpose to empower the active modules. Active modus allow a sheild tan

Active modules last 1.30 tops but require 3-4min cooldowns.

Meanwhile the available ammo

That's not good at all.

What they need to do is make all towers infantry accessible, so that you don't have to suicide a dropship up there to take them down, but at the same time give them less of a reason to be up there, verticality is cool yes, but why have access to a building top without solid rails, or fall guards.

Put those up there, the occasional place for a FGer to shoot from, but make it so that infantry can climb up there to take them down, and that the firing points and few and far betweem.

shield tanks would be destroyed in 1 shot by that low hp

I read through this, wanting to troll you, really bad, but I actually agree with everything except the madrugar speed nerf. I'm more in favor of either a passive caldari damage buff, because a speed buff is out of character for caldari, and is the place for the minmitar.

All in all, not bad ideas, but buffing the base HP won't do anything good, because it's so low. Buffing the modules is what would help. either that or a massive (35% pg buff).

I want to see tanks become battering rams OR seige weapons, where they are nearly invulnerable for 60 seconds OR they can take out anything that moves in a couple shots for 30 seconds. Then they should go right back to being paper thin. This way, the smart tankers will be nigh unkillable, but a good 85% wont last 2 minutes- as it should be.
