All BPO fit costs 22k and let's me destroy tanks with ease, especially the ones that like to chase me while I'm firing an AR at them. And if you seriously need a Tanker to fit an AV suit for you, fine.
Amarr Logistics (Any really, I just like the sidearm)
Militia Shield Extender Militia Shield Extender Militia Shield Extender Militia Armor Plate Militia Armor Plate Militia Armor Rep Assault Rifle SMG EX-0 AV Grenade Proximity Explosive F/49 Proximity Explosive K-2 Nanohive
Fuckin' ta-da, now find a road that tanks drive down (pay attention, most tankers follow routes), place them in two/three lines in tight formation, but covering the road, you can place four of the standard and five of the advanced AT THE SAME TIME (9x750 people.) and now go do whatever you want. Or you can be me and sit there, wait for the tank, shoot him a few times and let him come to you, watch him go boom OR chuck an AV grenade if for some reason he didn't hit all your mines.
- Amarr Logistics is slow as all hell; why not use Minmatar Logistics? IMO, the SMG isn't worth it when you're packing an Assault Rifle. I'd use a Combat Rifle, myself.
- 5 HP/S repair and you choose a militia repair? Why?
- All 9 Proximity Explosives, assuming they all hit, would not drop my Gunnlogi's shields while it's permahardened. You'd need them all to hit along with multiple grenades. I'm not falling for this unless I am extremely tiredGÇôif I am tired you can literally run up to me, jump on me, place all 9 REs, dance in front of me and blow me up; just ask Demon Buddha, he did it when I was vegging out.
- Why not use Remote Explosives with the Proximity Explosives to boost the damage?
- They beep; every one of these traps that I've been unaware of and started to drive over for several days, I've stopped and popped with my Blaster before taking substantial damage. I've popped two today that I can remember and a few yesterday, too.
- If you shoot at me, I will kill you from 150m away with my Blaster unless you go around a corner, at which point it's pretty obviously a lure and not a panic induced reflex.
- I don't follow a definitive pattern unless the area has already been secured. I go where I am needed. I use certain roads, obviously, but you can't cover them all and the high-traffic ones (such as the bridge with A on it) are far too obvious to work most of the time. Small maps are easier to lay traps on but bigger maps are a pain, especially ones with a lot of open ground.
I don't die to a lot of REs and PEs, even though multiple people use them on me in every match. I blow up most traps or they don't kill me. Players running up to me cannot place enough to damage me substantially before I back away and kill them. Only LAVs seem to be consistently successful. Then again, I listen for the beep, don't go over high traffic areas unhardened if possible and don't follow players shooting me with ARs; instead, I shoot them using the same sight line until they die or ignore them.

It is easy 2. You take out the tanks 1 at a time I've lost a couple of tanks to REs, at most, this week. I've made several million ISK pure profit in the same time frame. Multiple enemies use them on me every single match. You know what I die to? Tanks, Rail Gun Installations and the occasional coordinated squad of Forge Gunners. I see the talk, I never see the walk. If I see you in a match and you consistently kill me with explosives without a LAV, I will concede that everyone else just sucks at them or you're just awesome with them. Until then, I will continue to roll over explosives hardened, shoot them for free WP and enjoy all the Scouts running at me and dieing trying to place them on my hull.
Why, just today, someone planted a trap and ran around a corner. I shot the explosives and got a kill assist because, apparently, they killed HIM instead. That about sums up my experience with explosive traps.

Yes do this while ive put a IED on the road would love to see the result. -6 remote explosives and 3 prox mines as trigger units in FW. Thats 11250 HP damage in a single blow. good luck tanking that. If I knew they were there, I'd shoot them. Regardless, a double hardened Gunnlogi can soak up 18400 HP explosive damage. An extended Gunnlogi only needs a single hardener and has 1000 HP, 2500 after resists left.

An enemy HAV drove directly over them. None of them exploded. Subsonic tried this on me when 1.7 released. I stopped every time, shot them all, killed them. That and I rolled over them hardened if there were a couple left. They won because my team sucked but I went 18/1 (1 death to LAV in final few seconds by random guy) anyway.

I killed a hardened Sica today, but like hell I was going to do it with Proxies. I've done it, perhaps it's just luck. Got some R.Es on the suit now and chucking them at things is quite fun, I'm also using the Proxies with my tank now and it's just hilarious, I use them to protect an area I'm not looking at, defends me from Jeeps, I put them on a road when I know there's another tank and bait them, they lose half their HP before their hardeners are up and then I just go to town. REs while already tanking seem like they could be effective, I'll give you that. I'll try that later if I'm not in a Dropship; they work well with my hack and drive style, too.

If I knew they were there, I'd shoot them. Regardless, a double hardened Gunnlogi can soak up 18400 HP explosive damage. An extended Gunnlogi only needs a single hardener. To be honest ive never seen a tank that can survive my IED or jihad LAV. They all insta popped as soon everything detonates. And im not the kind of guy who just drives senseless into you in the front. Usually i hide behind a hill with the LAV and ram the tank in the back. Weakspot+6 RE's on the LAV= dead. Ive seen tanks trying to use their hardeners but they all insta popped regardless if it was a armor tank with a hardener or a shield tank. I survive around half the RE LAVs that connect. Usually I die because most LAVs are not RE LAVs and I don't want to burn 2-3 hardeners tanking the blow, or they get me from behind.
Regardless, mines on the ground haven't been very effective against me. Maybe if everyone spammed them everywhere. LAVs are useful, but you shouldn't need to resort to them to take me out. I would rather RE LAVs be less effective (still enough to pop unhardened tanks) but regular AV, such as swarms, be more effective.
