I hate tanks, but I was driving around in one today to try it out. I still hate tanks.
Here's my build:
Gunnlogi: 3 Complex Shield Upgrades and two of the Core upgrade active module skills to level 2 1 passive armor rep 1 CPU upgrade
Proto Blaster turret (I was using the aurum variant - level 3)
With this build, you have continuous shield hardners - NO cool down. My driver carries a forge, so I can take out turrets and dropships as I need to. I even took out a few other tanks, but once an orbital hit me as I stepped out, lol.
There is no AV on the field that can take you out. You can passively heal through 1-2 swarmers. Proto AV nades are a joke. I would estimate that a maxed out proto forge with 2 complex dmg mods might have been able to take me out in about 5-6 shots if they all landed, but I killed them by the time they fired 2.
the only threat on the field is another tank, and with hardners constantly up, there's usually plenty of time to retreat. If I were a decent tanker, I could probably take a few tanks down without using my forge.
I'm the first to admit, I suck at tanking. But that doesn't stop me from going 10+ and 0 regularly. My worst match, I died twice. I even let my 5 year old son drive around in it for a while. He doesn't do that great, but even he can kill people with it occasionally.
Interesting day. |

Mate, while you may "hate" tanks, or that you "suck at tanking", you're the worst type of tanker in the game, the fact that you use more than one hardener is a disgrace.

I had a dude hop out of his tank and try to forge me earlier. I just put a rail shot in his face.
Was it you by any chance?

I have a funny story:
Pre 1.7. I was using my HAV in a pub match in a random squad. Not caring to hard. A greenberry jumps in and of course is having a blast with the small missle turrets.
I was raising heck with my HAV a few times, so the other team put their orbital on me. The greenberry freaked out an bailed. He bailed into an OB...
Then I heard "his tank didn't blow up? Awe man!". "Should of stayed in, jr. My tank is the safest place to be during an Orbital."

How is it a disgrace? Isn't New Eden about optimizing your fittings? The only reason him doing this is bad for you is that draws attention to the fact that hardeners are massively overpowered right now. One module should not grant practical immunity to all forms of infantry AV for any amount of time, at any cooldown rate. |

Yep, lol. That was my first match. probably the worst one of the day. Nice shot btw. you were half way across the map and nailed me in the face. What was that about rail guns not being effective against infantry? I felt a little better when the tank behind you killed you. |

Interesting day.
I played around with 3 complex hardeners + an advanced rail turret, today. It was all right, although constantly cycling between hardeners was a hassle. Rail turrets still punch through it. I also ran into a pretty talented Madrugar pilot who chopped through it like it was nothing. Really interested in knowing how he did that. I'm guessing he went heavy into damage mods.

Two should be more than enough. At max skills, you get a 1min on with 15 sec off in between. That allows you to put on an extender or booster if needed.

Glad to see that Gunnlogis are just the post 1.7 version of 1.6 Madrugars, except with more resistance :(
Now the only thing better about my Maddie is the speed.....which is terribly OP :D

Don't need to tank to see that tanks are a joke. Even the "worst" fit pwns 95% of the map. Your tanker "business" is ruining the game for everyone else.

perhaps, but there aren't enough of you to go around. I didn't run into you all day. Of the last 10 matches, i think I died twice to another tank. Then I died about 5 times because I got out of the tank.
I know, that's bad. But it was my first day, and I had very little sp in it. I'm sure that if I wanted to continue with a tank I would get better. But I don't. |
