They never stand still enough to get more than 1 flux grenade off. You need about 5-6 straight fluxes assuming they have instant 2k shield regen in order to start digging into their armor.

Most shield tanks only have around 3k shield, so 2 fluxes and you can get them down to 1-1.5k(they get hit, then pop the booster, then BOOM the 2 nd flux goes off)Of course this has most been the case with bad tankers.

Combine that with a proto swarm launcher with prof 3-4 and 2 complex dmg mods you can dish out 1300-1400 dmg to shields per volley.

@Sana, yeah I run a scout fit. For some reason I get behind the tank and by the time the 3rd RE has been planted he usually figures out I'm then and rolls me over xD

I can usually still get the detonation off but it only sometimes makes them catch fire :(

Even if you die, the REs stay. What you want to do is respawn and damage the tank a bit before detonating them, just to make sure that it wont survive

Ah, see I thought they only lasted till you bleed out. Good to know :)

Got 2 AUR ones in a match last night and a maddy. Only got 250,000 isk for the match though :/ lost 4 proto suits and swarms so I was out around 150,000 isk(not to mention the suits I lost I lost before I switch to AV fits) Good tankers know to bug out once they get hit with the first flux.

Sana Rayya WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 550	Posted - 2013.12.13 18:00:00 - [10] - Quote The RE/AV tactic only works for tanks that roll up on your team. Ideally while they are blasting away, you sneak behind, plant three REs on their backside, then AV three times. Detonate your REs and bye bye tank. But if you're doing well just with swarms, go for it. The RE technique is better suited for logis anyhow, and if I recall correctly you usually run scout.

Once a majority of Merc's start packing AV grenades like Chromosome... tanks won't be able to sit idle close to any group of infantry. The adjustment is happening ever so slowly people are realizing it.
