Jason Pearson 3554	Posted - 2013.12.21 23:49:00 - [1] - Quote More than one hardener. Also, why is it I keep hearing from AVers "Tanks are OP, I've used them" and tell me they've only used dual hardeners? Nerf the ability to place more than one hardener, or make them affect eachother (having two on a tank reduces their effectiveness massively, even if only one is active) and you'll fix a major problem.

Now I use 3 on my shield tanks because I realized for defense against AV, Shield Hardeners are king. Cycle them, stack them, it's all good and OP versus infantry.

Tanks are doing their job once again. They are the shock and awe of the game. Designed to hit hard and demoralize the enemy. The real question is, are you doing your job as infantry?

Your argument falls apart there. They're not run at the same time. Dual repper maddies are pretty good too. I think the problem is less hardeners and more to do with the 4sec / 6sec non depleted recharge times on tanks, add 2-4 seconds to each of those numbers and give the gunnlogi about 400-700 more hp and there would be less complaints I think as right now they're getting hp back between forge shots / reloads

I love that rail damage booster. Though I will say this. I shot a heavy in the chest with my rail and didnt kill him this morning. Know it was a dirrect hit. He had like 10% health left and was sniping at people. Lucky bastard XD Didnt lose my tank that game but it made me laugh pretty hard...one doesnt simply eat a 80gj railgun to the chest.

Your argument falls apart there. Nope, it doesn't fall apart, what do you do when your hardener runs out? You either take cover/run away, or have no AV hitting you. Dual hardeners allows you to keep the 60% running constant, I've done it, for ***** and giggles on a CRU tank, killing people when blues spawn to provide cover fire and should they both run out I activate an Armor hardener and take cover, it's ridiculously broken.

Erm, 1.87. are you sure? Anyways, with a single hardener I can handle a single hardener with ease, two I have to dodge a little more, with a second hardener I shrug off two with no issue, and three isn't as bad as you think it is, and then it leaves you open to a return rail shot, you'll be two shotted before you can react.

Am not good at maths and Musta Tornius says he's not an expert either, but let's try this 60%, remaining 40% 600.87=52.2% remainder 47.8% 0.400.478=19.12% Damage, leaving 80.88% resists Now if I'm right, despite the unlikelihood of that being the case, your damage per shot is 479.6252, multiplied by 6 that's 2877.7512, while these hardeners are active, which means by the time you've overheated against my build, which is 2600 shields and 1200 armor iirc (not near a PS3 to check) you'd have eaten into my armor and left me with 1000 Armor due to the fact I run an Armor Hardener as well, it wouldn't kill me, even without the armor hardener. And since most builds with hardeners run a booster, the moment you stop firing I hit my booster and it bypasses the recharge delay, so now I'm gaining around 160 shields a second, you're overheated, I'm still running hardeners and now I'm away. If I had one hardener on, you might win, with two I'll survive, ofcourse that's if I did the maths correctly, can someone else do it? Q_Q King of the Forums // Vehicle Specialist for Hire.

Can barely scratch the paint of militia tanks dumping 6 standard rockets and tossing a grenade if they have any passive rep (militia rep.) I launched 3 volleys with a double damage modded CBR7 at an Armor Tank, he was almost dead as he activated his hardeners, if I'd of chucked a flux first he would've been done, or had better swarms. They're not trash, but players fight tanks with hardeners on. With the dual hardener setup you can run it near indefinitely. I mean one ridiculous fit for a Gunnlogi is 2x Hardener, 1x Light Booster, 1x Armor Hardener and 1x Rep. You run the Shield Hardener, get the next one going the moment it runs out, then due to you having 10 seconds between them (if you've got max skills and running complex), put your armor hardener on, let them eat a little into it, pop your shield hardener on and hit the light booster, your booster makes the shield recharge delay non existent and you rep through the incoming damage. Only way you're being pushed back is if 4-5 proto avs push you or another tank. Even more ridiculous: field a 150k Gunnlogi with 3 Enhanced Shield Hardeners and cycle them literally forever with no downtime. Why risk a few Forge Gun rounds at the right time popping you? Also, 2 Complex actually have 15 seconds downtime every 60 seconds. With full skills? Man I'm useless at remembering things, need my PS3 beside me to have the numbers in my face, still you won't notice it lol and aye three always work even better, it's just so broken xD The best part is I have no optimization skills related to shields and blasters, because I've never needed them! Worst comes to worst, you can slap CPU mods in the lows and make this tank with Shield Adaption 3 (or whatever it's called) and HAV Operation 1 at a minimum. Mine has 3 Blasters on it, a CPU mod and an ammo expansion at the moment. The final build will have 3 ADV Blasters for 2100 DPS (more than a prototype double amped railgun), 2 passenger seats to ferry my team around, 160% ammo so I never need to visit a supply depot and, of course, the 3 Enhanced Shield Hardeners. Rail Guns might chew it up, but I do not expect to die to anything else with a full complement of gunners. Well, provided I don't get swamped by multiple enemy tanks at once. Actually, I think that tank can win a 3v1 against 3 blaster Somas if you pop all 3 hardeners at once, so, yeah. Each hardener negates as much damage as a STD 80GJ Blaster; 3 standard blaster tanks versus a triple hardened tank is the same as one versus a single hardened tank in terms of DPS. Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn. Panda.

Wasn't that the big balancing point? What does a tank have to sacrifice? Not to mention the skills that lower the recharge time and raise the active time for modules. Why do you think he's saying dual hardeners are broken? It wasn't a jab at the OP, just thinking out loud. "I do agree with you there though. shudders" -Arkena Wyrnspire

A chance to kill infantry? They do that just fine. A chance to kill tanks? I pop tanks just fine when I've lost my 2 tanks for the match and forge people from rooftops. A chance to win games? They're the only ones who can do that. 15 seconds is far from "tiny" and people still haven't adapted to the fact that AV is supposed to be used in CONJUNCTION with vehicles. not solodolo. Infantry do their thing and vehicles finally have a thing to do.

Infantry do their thing and vehicles finally have a thing to do. It seems to me I'm going to argue with everything you post on this forum. Let's look at why I know that running this hardener is ridiculous. First, read above on my attempt at maths with the Railgun with triple damage mods, running two hardeners you can survive that ridiculous amount of damage and stomp the tank and continue driving along totally fine. Next let's look at my experiences. Running a two hardener with armor hardener setup means you're pretty much unkillable constantly, and 15 seconds is a tiny window in comparison to the minute you get on shields, and the fact you can negate that with one more shield hardener, or do what I do and run an armor hardener so even with my shields down I can sit there and tank damage. Me and Pegasis were running a two s hardener 1 a hardener with CRU setup on Line Harvest in a Domination. Pegasis rolled up to alpha, you know, the one in the crate, put his tank against the crate and put a hardener on the moment AV came to him, he sat there until the MCC shields had finished, even then he only moved due to the fact a rail tank turned up and he couldn't go into dual hardeners due to the other being in cooldown. I activated both and killed the guy, and we just continued stomping. I didn't move from my spot after that and just continued dropping Infantry despite a lot of AV coming my way. No, it's not meant to be used solely with vehicle support, it's meant to be effective against vehicles, and it is, when they have the opportunity to do so, right now they don't have the opportunity because I have a mintue to tank and escape, and then can still reduce damage to armor by 40% Anybody who runs a tank and can tell me that this is fine and it's the way it should be is a ******* moron, I mean really, it's just sad that you need to defend a crutch that's blatantly broken and the reason tanks don't die. I rarely run this setup due to the fact it's OP and doesn't give me that little thrill you get when you're facing a skilled AVer or tank, you simply cycle hardeners or activate them both for a ridiculous amount of resistance.
