With Armor/Shield Fitting Proficiency I can run ...
2 Basic Shield Hardeners
1 Damage Mod
1 Complex 120mm Plate
1 Basic Armor Hardener
... on my Gunnlogi with any Large Turret I want. You may have noticed I don't need a single CPU or PG upgrade for this fit. Yeah. And I'm also a lot more maneuverable than the Madrugar in any circumstance and I can tank a LOT more damage. Damage modded rails have trouble piercing that Shield buffer if I'm running both Hardeners at once in an engagement and I have a huge Armor buffer as my last resort.
It's actually pretty silly, its PG probably needs to be tweaked. In the meantime though, Madrugar pilots please enlighten me. Why bother?
GUN DEPRESSION !!!!
WHAT IS GUN DEPRESSION
Gun depression is the amount a tank can lower itsGÇÖ barrel, usually measured in degrees. Basically, how well a tank can point down. Good gun depression is usually 8 degrees or more, OK gun depression is 6-7 degrees, and bad gun depression is anything less than that.
Examples of good gun depression tanks: US mediums/heavies/turreted tank destroyers
Examples of OK gun depression tanks: T62A, Tiger II
Examples of bad gun depression tanks: Chinese tanks
GUN DEPRESSION DEPENDS ON THE LAYOUT OF THE TANK
How much gun depression is GÇ£goodGÇ¥, GÇ£OKGÇ¥, or GÇ£badGÇ¥ may also depend on the tank layout. For example, the 110 and IS-3 have GÇ£badGÇ¥ gun depression at -5 degrees but no one mentions them first when talking about bad gun depression. ThatGÇÖs because both of them have strong upper front plates, making hull-down play (exposing only the turret to the enemy and hiding the hull) less of a necessity.
Gun depression values also differ where the barrel is facing. If the barrel is over the rear of the tank, there are many tanks that have less gun depression than if the barrel is facing forward
HOW DO I USE GUN DEPRESSION?
Gun Depression is useful for:
Firing at enemies lower than your tank
Dealing with uneven terrain
Playing GÇ£hull-downGÇ¥ GÇô exposing only the turret to incoming enemy fire by hiding the hull behind a hill/rock/building/debris/tank/etc
GUN DEPRESSION AND FIRING AT ENEMIES LOWER THAN YOUR TANK
Being able to simply move the turret and not the entire tank is a large benefit. Not only is the tank ready to fire sooner, but the reticle will bloom less since itGÇÖs only the turret and not the entire tank moving.
DEALING WITH UNEVEN TERRAIN
Ever stop on a small hill and realize your gun wonGÇÖt aim down at the enemy? We all have this issue from time to time. Gun depression allows the hull of the tank to be at weird angles while the turret trains onto the enemy. Good gun depression is able to deal with incredibly uneven terrain while bad gun depression makes even the smallest bumps difficult.
PLAYING HULL-DOWN
This is probably the best use for gun depression!
GÇ£Hull-downGÇ¥, as stated before, is playing with the hull of the tank hidden, allowing only the turret to be exposed to the enemy. This has a few advantages:
The turret is usually the toughest part of the tank
A very small portion of the tank is exposed, making it harder to hit
Moving back behind cover is very quick as so little is exposed
.........
to add to this
you can when runing armor
run 2 dmg mods with a good def and a hi HP buff
where a shield tank with a buff tank can lasts in a shoot out at point blank it can not rep its armor back up unless driver jumps out and RR,s his tank but this can not be done on the fly or have some one els RR he,s tank .
that and if say there is a brake in the shoot out the armor tank can rep any armor dmg where you in a buff tank can not .
we can all so ram you and kill you the armor tank has more mass and can get under your tank. add a booster and you will see him ram if not kill you with a ram or speed away or run you down .
Yes i am a Undead Hell Wolf ... nice to meat you!
