Raising up my armor skills to be prepared to dual tank.
I want the shiny tonk.
I have been wanting to try and discuss this for a while with CCP Wolfman but I doubt he would reveal anything to us at this point. However in 1.7 the capacity to effectively dual tank has become a reality.
Compared to the 1.6 modules, and I tried heavily to make a successful Dual tank that I felt could replicate the play style of the Amarr, the newer 1.7 modules will allow for the Amarr HAV to do what I feel the Amarr are best at.
Resistance tank.
If we consider the current model of Amarr content we see
- Increased PG and CPU
- Highest base Shield and Armur Values
- Slow over all speed
- Long range damage capacity
- High Stamina values
- Lower Number of Module Slots
Considering this I think, and I have seen a very well thought out thread about this which I will try to link, we will see the Amarr HAV with the highest fitting capacity of all HAV. Additionally we would see a fairly even balance between shield and armour, the suggested values in the thread I mentioned earlier were around 2725 for both values.
For example
Madrugar
1200 Shield
4000 Armour
3 Low Slot
2 High Slot
Total combined HP- 5200
Gunlogi
2650 Shield
1500 Armour
2 Low Slot
3 High Slot
Total Combined HP- 4150
Considering the Amarr HAV it might look something like this
2725 Shield
2725 Armour
2 Low Slot
2 High Slot
Total Combined HP- 5450

In terms of weapons CCP really could do anything.
EVE side we have two main types of Laser Turret for our vessels.
Beam Laser Turrets- Like our Laser rifle which fire beam of light out to distance targets
Pulse Laser Turrets- Like the Scrambler Rifles which are focused for a more close ranged oriented engagments.
Even more so than that we could consider the possibility of the Empire producing Arc Cannon's from Templar One which fire, what I understand to be energy projectiles. This weapon is to the best of my knowledge derived from the super weapon Jamyl Sarum used to defeat the Elder Fleet that invaded the Empire during the reign of the false emperor Karsoth.
Oh and I don't know if this is a real confirmation or a troll by CCP Wolfman but he mentioned in passing to me in a thread that the Amarrian HAV would not be a Golden tank but instead a Plantinum one.... which when considering Platinum as a material which can disperse/ withstand intense heat (correct me if I am wrong here) would make sense for dispersing the heat generated by laser type weapons across the hull of the vehicle.

How are Amarr ranked in terms of torque? Low I'm guessing?
I'm here for the lasers, just trying to wrap my head around what the actual tank will be.
Poorly we would be the juggernaut of HAV but incapable to reactively responding to new threats. Its is likely that we will have a slow accelation period before reaching maximum velocity and even with that velocity we would not be much faster than the Gunlogi if not slower.
Torque would be incredibly low, the Amarr HAV In my mind will be a long range stand and deliver tank.
I would suggest either your fit with dual shield hardeners, Armour plate and Armour Hardener or perhaps even a simple and standard
2x Shield Hardeners
1x Armour Hardener
1x Armour Repper
