Mejt0 Made in Poland... E-R-A 86	Posted - 2014.02.06 02:49:00 - [1] - Quote Seriously. I often see 1700-2000 shield or smth like this pythons. Overwall whats the point of making 'one shoot' DSs?
Varjac Theobroma Montenegro Omega Elite Mercs INC. 117	Posted - 2014.02.06 02:53:00 - [2] - Quote Pythons can't have that much shields, like around 3000k max. I think anyways. But that doesn't include hardeners, or a booster. Plus they only have three high slots. Not much room for additional hp Mine only can fit an enhanced heavy shield extender. Then boost and a hardener... FAME

They are 1-2shooted, maybe 3 with hards.
ishtellian Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 9	Posted - 2014.02.06 03:04:00 - [4] - Quote Dual hardened pythons can take a good few hits, but the problem is hardeners cant be on forever, so they turn them on when they need to but a railgun will completely wipe out the pythons shields, and then the hardeners are useless. Also,if youve seen a fully skilled python its something to fear 50%RoF bonus, 10% damage bonus and proto launchers. it only takes one shot to kill something that isnt a heavy and the RoF is insane when you see it.

Eltra Ardell Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 345	Posted - 2014.02.06 03:06:00 - [5] - Quote With triple damage mods and a proto turret, a rail tank can achieve about 3300 damage a shot. Alpha'ing an assault dropship is the only reliable way to kill one in the hands of a good pilot. Full damage fitted tanks are rare, and any other tank gives pretty much every ADS the opportunity to speed away too quickly to track with any certainty. When you can almost always survive, you gain little benefit from more tank. Once you're fit "good enough," you fit for utility. e: It is important to notice that railguns, being hybrid weapons, do 10% less damage to shields, as well.
Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 869	Posted - 2014.02.06 03:11:00 - [6] - Quote it's because with shield vehicles, raw tank is not a viable kind of tanking at all. they have lower HP, but stupidly powerful hardeners, you're supposed to trip your hardeners just before you expect to take damage which multiplies your tank by just over double while it's active, then leave after you've killed whatever you came to kill before they go down. If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

I drive my python 2 proto hardeners and a proto after burner plus a proto light armor rep. So I just boost my way to the flying ceiling so I can't be shot and wait till my hardeners are back and sit around and kill people again wash rinse and repeat (mt-1 missle launcher so its only like 400k a pop) gk.0 scout 4 the win Optimization 5 in 7 weapons and counting,SP from all characters:-113,895,000- CLOSED BETA VET.

My speed tanked fit (extenders and AB) can tank 1-2 rail shots, but usually relies on speed to dodge further damage (works quite well). My tankiest dropship as about 12k shield ehp fully hardened.

I've found that Complex Shield Extenders are best for handling all these situations. Tankers are being diagnosed with a new disease; Cancer of the Assault Dropship. Many of them don't survive.
Billi Gene 474	Posted - 2014.02.06 07:20:00 - [12] - Quote Vehicle Alt: enhanced heavy shield extender 2x enhanced shield hardeners iirc: enhanced 60mm plate at-2 MT 2555 shields, 1500=/= armor unhardened 3888 shields with 1x hardener cycle hardeners or stack as needed... but always enter with one running. drop suit fitting has militia repair tool. Dropship cost: 416k isk Drop suit cost: 17k isk swarms are like fleas, Forge are naughty kittens, MLT rail unbonused are annoying, MLT rail with 2xD-mods scare the hell outa me.... I lose ADS here and there, but only because I'm so pig headed and refuse to send them back via RDV. Running redline gunnlogi's pays for it all >;) and serves as sweet revenge on all noobtanks. (current record being 2 soma's and a sica in less then 10 seconds from one rail clip... huzzah). Caldari FW proto rails cuts costs btw :D Pedant, Ape, Troll. My Beard makes Alpha's sook :P
Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 954	Posted - 2014.02.06 08:51:00 - [13] - Quote because afterburners are essential to not dieing. wich leaves 2 high slots, for either 1 large extender + hardener or two hardeners. an python without an afterburner is a sitting duck and easily tracked by forges and rails, but with an afterburner on you can speed tank AV to avoid damage, its built like a getto minmatar dropship.
