Well considering half the maps have no supply depots a tank can get to the ammo caches might be useful. On my Maddy I have utility mods in the high slots, and on my Gunnlogi I have CPU and PG upgrade in low slots so I can fit a shield tank that makes all these butthurt AVers come to forums and quit.

If you're shield tanking, there is absolutely nothing worth getting in lowslots besides ammo. Everything you want is in the highs.

Overdrives too, but for some reason I can't restock them.

Overdrives were removed fron the game bro.

So nows theres NOTHING for low slots.

Damage mods should definitely go to low slots, vehicle and infantry. Why should the ones with the highest HP ceiling get the ability to gank and tank while the ones with the lowest HP ceiling have no option other than getting wrecked? This is why infantry is armor > shield right now.

Disagree, Shields have better tank than Armor, Armor needs the extra damage to fight back.

Uhhh that's flat wrong. You have better regen thats on full time. You have higher HP. A free regenerating buffer, and slightly weaker resists.

And to balance out your "weaker resists" you get 30% more damage, the option to be faster than any shield tank, active scanners, CRUs.

It's ridiculous that you get massive options for your utility slots and shield vehicles get 0 options.

Wow, so you bumped twice in half an hour, gg.

Anyways, "you, you, you", I'm a shield tanker, so none of this "you get this" or "you get that" bull, stop trying to kid someone with all his SP focused on being a better shield tanker.

Shield Tanks are stronger and able to stay on the map longer due to their ammo, most AV does less damage to it and it doesn't need reps, however most armor tank fits are Rep, Rep, Hardener, my Shield tank build has plenty of options, Damage mods, boosters, extenders, always a hardener though. In my lows I have ammo and an armor rep, I found out earlier I can fit a complex light armor rep on it without losing any shield effectiveness, win.

So, Armor Tanks need to have atleast one armor rep in their slot, and hardeners are a must, that's two slots. We need just a hardener to be useful as shield tankers, that's 1 slot mandatory, the rest you can fit however you want, that's four slots, the Armor tank has three spare and don't have enough CPU to make things work.

Gunnlogis seem to be for pushing, Madrugars seem to be support.

Pearson youve made a lot of good vehicle posts but this is ridiculous. Av is mostly irrelevent without a vehicle backing it up. Ammo is a non issue for missiles and rails, dunno about blasters.

Shield tanks "must" fit things too in their primary slots its dumb to put that as a complaint. You rep more, have higher hp, and a free refilling buffer. Who cares about the 20% resists.

And none of that takes into consideration that armor have awesome options for their utility slots and shield vehicles have 0 things to choose from.

360 damage off a proto rail? What about 1k more of your main stat? What about a free regenerating 1k(how much is it now? I know its less now) buffer?

Lows are useles so a gunnlogi has two free slots and a madrugar has 4.

Again this isn't including higher HP, better regen, faster speed, etc.

It's a simple imbalance of utility slots that needs to be remedied.

Well I guess they could make some stuff for low slots. Really though, I haven't had an issue with shield vs armor. I have shield and armor tanks maxed out and I think the benefit of getting more cpu/pg without affecting your shield tank shouldn't be dismissed. That being said, it is sorta interesting dual tanking a gunnlogi, armor rep and hardener on low slots.

You said a hardener and a repairer left a madrugar with 2 highs 2 lows. I took your word for it.

I don't see how you keep denying it. Free buffer, extra 1k HP, faster tank, and two slots to fit any utility you can imagine.

You keep avoiding those topics because there's nothing to reply to it.

Also you can get a 25% reduction to shield depleted recharge for your madrugar in the shield core upgrades.

Armor vehicles have utility slots. Shield vehicles get none. This is an imbalance.

message from Godin: Like you can even fit something in that second slot without having a **** fit......... Anyways, I agree. the more the merrier

It's useless for shield vehicles because well you should know, if your shields are ever depleted, you're either fine or dead. It's not just extra HP like shields are for armor vehicles.And the HP difference is huge. The free shields plus better HP on armor stats.

I have not fit an armor vehicle since 1.7 but it doesn't really matter. Armor vehicles have options while shield vehicles do not. I see armor tanks with proto turrets nitrous and dmods all the time so I know its not impossible.

You also seem to think this is purely about tanks but its about all vehicles. Options vs no options.
