Chek again, it writes 0.6 and 0.4 . Those things have to be damage modifiers for stuff that hits them. So say a shield tank takes 1000 damage and its has a 0.4 multiplier on, thats: 0.4+ù1000=400 damage taken by the tank. Therefore, a 60% resist. At least thats how I hope it works...

wich in and of itself makes no sense. Armor tanks are faster than weightless shields because armor plates make you slower.... okay. Now as a joke wel call the slower tank the "hit and run tank". Okay good job. Now lets make them both even, break common scene/good game mechanics and lore now

it does make sense if you understand the eve universe. in eve gallente are faster than caldari in almost every situation, if they are superior in speed in space, why cant they be on the ground?

because space has zero gravity, it does not matter that their armor is heavy and has more mass than the shield ships of caldari. But on planets weight does matter, and gallante tanks would weight many more tons over caldari tanks.
But who cares? This is a classic Exmaple of:
Real life < Lore < game mechanics
It does not fit the balance of the game for the weak "hit and run tank" (caldari) to be slower or even just as fast as the stronger, more effective brawler tank (gallante). Its horrendous for game balance, f*ck lore. Now their both inconsistant and out of wack

because space has zero gravity, it does not matter that their armor is heavy and has more mass than the shield ships of caldari. But on planets weight does matter, and gallante tanks would weight many more tons over caldari tanks.

So CCP is saying the base hull needs to be weaker and the fitting, the actual mods you throw on the tank, should be the part that makes the vehicle truly useful.
Thats why the base hulls were given an increase in HP (gunlogi increased from 1800 to 2600 and madrugar from 2000 to 4000) the fitting stats (CPU/PG) were reduced AND slots were taken away?? Gunlogi decreased from 5/2 to 3/2 and madrugar from 2/5 to 2/3.
Yeah. this really reflects what you guys are trying to do. good job
The last one that concerns me is "the goal is to make tanks fun" would this be fun to you guys? All the changes in general. Armor looks like its nerfed less harder

yeah your right. I should kill myself

psss... hit and run are not meant to be durable thats why they hit and run but CCP think thats caldari should be that type of tank.

yeah man! This way, our proto tanks after 1.6 will be EXACTLY what we have right now!! dude, oh mia gee were so lucky to be holding our future proto tanks right now, these are so good...
Btw, they ignored our suggestions about alternative ways to make a proto tank other than slot use. I made this post twice:

so yeah as you can see in this thread, its EXACTLY what we wanted!! Good job CCP

Yes im aware that they can reduce some numbers of the AV but it would not be reasonable to assume that proto AV will suddenly stop anhialting standard tanks. If anything, it would horribly break the balance of the game if standard tanks can stand up to proto AV. No matter what happens to the AV in 1.7, our standard tanks will be crushed by proto AV like they are being today, and all of the past 8 months.
But that is the only way to make proto tanks, it is clear by what their doing now. Look at it, we are litterally driving our own future proto tanks. This gunlogi with 5 highs and 2 lows that gets blown up by 4 rounds of proto forges is my future proto tank. Today my tank is standard, and next year this peice of poop is going to be the very BEST shield tank available in dust?
No the only way to make a proto tank is how i described, you and IWS were right you can not create a proot tank the traditional way and use slots. The only way is to use other bonus, unorthodoxwas i described. But i geuss we wont have it because were doing the slot way.
When they respec us, there will be less than 50 tankers in the entire game remaining. I promise

it doesent matter what they do to Advanced level AV weapons, who even chooses to use their adv forge/swarms over their proto versions anyways? People are nearing on 30mill SP now everyone has profficentcy 5 forge/swarms with double/triple damage mods. Who cares about ADV level AV? Everyone runs proto. It will only be encouraged if advanced level AV gets a 40% damage reduction but proto? Nah. If they continue their trend, if CCP continues the patteren theyve been doing these past 8 months scence uprising release, they are going to buff AV again. Big if, they should be releasing their screwing up harder than what they did to the heavy post uprising. Remember i through a temper tantrum on these froums about it before it happened? This is sighn

Where are heat syncs, nanofibers, or skills to increase your damage?
