Scar Scrilla UN1TED NATIONS 105	Posted - 2014.02.02 13:17:00 - [1] - Quote Several times-like many others- I've died in the inferno of railguns and blaster explosions. It didn't make me bitter, but somehow got my fascinated with the way of controlling the battlefield with these armored beasts. I'd like to invest some SP into my vehicle skills but have almost no experience with tank operations and setups. I saved some money and SP and seriously want to get into tanking now. Would someone of you dedicated/proficient tankers in the forums please help me to get a grip on the matter and tell me what to skill into to make myself a viable Anti-tank/anti infantry tank fit? (Not talking 'bout the militia tanks or fits) Furthermore, is there any compendium or tank-thread in the forums you can recommend to a tank-beginner? Thanks in advance, long days and pleasant nights, Scar "Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses" -Mostly Heavies- Join our public channel: EUUN1

Charlotte O'Dell Fatal Absolution 1849	Posted - 2014.02.02 18:24:00 - [8] - Quote Pick armor for high KDR Pick shields for being valuable to your corp in PC Only invest in skills that do NOT affect fitting ability (proficiency skills, etc) You want to be able to USE every complex module and prototype turret that you choose. Damage mods (complex) are a must. Using scanners and nitros will do more for armor tanks than shield tanks because they are HS modules, but some pilots (like myself) make good use of NOS on their shield tanks. Do not waste your SP to duel tank- a gunlogi with a light repper and 120 plate, even militia, will be fine- shield modules on armor tanks are simply never run because a nitros, scanner, or dmod will be much better. Having extra ammo is something only shield tanks can do- most times, a complex module is a waste of isk (ammo exp). Having an ammo expansion is more important for a blaster tank than a rail or missile tank, but a gunlogi shouldn't run a blaster, simply bc they are infantry stomping tanks, and being able to fit a scanner is something that only armor tanks should do. As for turrets, only run PRO if your focus is killing tanks- a STD turret will destroy infantry just as well (nearly) as a PRO turret, but vs tanks, its a huge difference.
