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.

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

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.

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.

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

bumping outside of corporate recruitment is against the rules. you might want to put some content in those bumps if you intend on keeping this thread alive until a dev posts.

as for the utilitys.

on my gunni I have a pg mod and a basic light armor rep, it's nice cause it keeps the tank almost completely self sufficient all it needs is a supply depot.

the utility lows on a gunni aren't terrible admittedly a hit and run guerrilla warfare tank would be expected to have some gank to it and I find it odd that damage mods aren't low slot items. but it's fine for now.

All I know is I'mma be ridiculous if I have more things for utilities, very ridiculous and then I'll be the guy on the forums demanding a nerf. Oh and that delay isn't important? I **** you not I almost died because of that delay, Armor tank chasing me down I keep weaving in and out of hills at 300 armor and no hardeners. Still wasn't ok, the shields kept me from dying and then they disappeared again and I managed to get behind something in the redline.

Oh and it matters a shitton, IF YOU DON'T EXPERIENCE SOMETHING, YOU CANNOT HAVE A VALID OPINION ON IT. So go and fit an armor tank. And dude, running a Scanner, Hardener, Booster just for you, am not going to die, same as my other fits, I've got utilities :) And Ammo and an Armor Rep.

But it has an effect on Tanks, which must not be hidden. Armor tanks have requirements in place that Shield tanks don't need, like the fact we don't need any reps, we can also get more ammo and armor tanking abilities in the low slots, which makes more eHP.

You cannot discount it, a Gunnlogi would be the only tank to use because it doesn't need reps, has better hardeners, has INSTANT health regeneration through boosters, can stick on an Armor Rep, can have double the ammo capacity, and now I can place a damage mod instead of ammo because my missiles didn't destroy maddies in a single clip fast enough.

I don't see any need to transfer current things over, I could see a use in nanofibres being brought back for lows, but nothing needs to be taken from highs to make lows better.

I have armor reps in my lows because I'm not an idiot, and I have ammo there because I stay out on the field without supply depots and dont recall my vehicle and then bring it out again full of ammo. Armor seriously doesn't have the better end of the stick at all, We tank so much better, we survive AV so much easier. I feel bad for Armor Tanks because Shield Tanks are better a lot of ways.

Also you keep refering to things like Damage Mods, Scanners and injectors like they're the most important options in the game, like they're a massive need not a bonus. Each tank needs incentives to be used. And lol, damage mod to stay competitive.

You have options, you just don't like them. Maybe you spec'd the wrong tank, why aren't you driving a Madrugar?

Sorry, but I agree with Pearson.

Aerial boosters are far less relevant than they once were, so not necessary. A hardener is necessary. MCRUs are useful, but not really game changing, considering the speed with which a DS can redeploy troops without need for inboard spawning.

A swarm isn't useful against a Gunnlogi, even in tank v tank. It gives at best a marginal increase to DPS. Forge guns are viable against both types.

You're right, they don't. Fit one - it's not hard, and you don't actually need to sacrifice anything. You don't actually need two hardeners; I only run it on my rail because everyone else does, and I need to. A nitrous is irrelevant in those encounters.

Armour tanks have higher base EHP, true, but he's arguing that it's negligible at best, which is true. Furthermore, that extra 20% resist means we have higher burst EHP, so when it matters, we're tougher.

You want a scanner? Fit one.

Damage mod + hardener + scanner, and you sacrifice nothing.

Assuming, of course, that you're actually using the scanner to outflank...


ALSO PEARSON. GET ONLINE. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME FIGHT NYAIN TANKSTOMPS.

Good discussion, module slots really define vehicles roles.

Unfortunately that means that in practice either shield or armor tanks have no realistic access to one kind on supportive modules (scanners, damamods, extra ammo).


Probably you guys don't appreciate it but I still link here an idea on Vehicle Equipment slot layer (already locked thread)

Lol... I would support this thread if maddies didn't have the CPU issue they do. Gunnies have to have a draw back. Right now,they are faster( acceleration wise) more nimble( turning wise) and have no problem fitting whatever they want because they have the option of expanding their CPU or power grid. they also do not have to fit a repper because they have one built in sense nothing damages past their threshold with the exception of a forge gun or raiIturret. I drive both, its obvious you only drive the shield version of Tanks.

"E" For effort but "F" for gathering information

Wait, wouldn't removing things in the highs slots technically mean we're nerfing armor vehicles?
