I'm actually surprised at a lot of the responses here. I would have expected more people to be calling for changes given the ridiculousness (in my opinion) of the fitting I listed. Kudos for the great discussion guys.

I run a lot of glass cannons, that's mainly what I use Gunnlogi's for until the field is clear, then I call in the Maddie when I need to make a push for the team.
But that's the point I'm trying to make, the Gunnlogi isn't a glass cannon in the slightest. It can, in fact, Tank significantly more damage than the Madrugar can and, with the fit listed in the OP, has more base HP than the majority of Maddy fits. That's not taking into account the power of having 3 separate Hardeners and a damage mod available on your chassi either. From an infantry AV perspective I'd actually argue that having Shield Hardeners is more useful as well because you can ignore any and all explosive AV to the point where your Shields will simply heal through any damage taken.

that 250 passive armor repair rate is why... and that sonic speed too, and the scanning.
So yeah, I can get behind this. The useful high slots are something to be reckoned for and having nitrous and scanning definitely provides utility. For me at least though, I don't see that utility as being as useful as the raw eHP of the fit I listed.
Scanners are great from an infantry perspective and Nitrous can pull you out of a Vehicle fight that's going South but I just see the Gunnlogi as the ultimate Vehicle v. Vehicle platform, which probably has a lot to do with why I'm leaning on them so heavily these days.

The fit listed won't die in 2 shots, even when you don't have access to your hardeners.

I armour tank. Always have and always will. Its the Amarrian way to place our Faith in the holy armours of God.
Plus I need to practice sluggish manoeuvring since I will be exclusively using Amarr HAV upon their release.
Frankly I find Madrugars more durable and reliable, over Shield HAV, I can typically outlast most shield tanks through exploiting my backwards and forwards speed and longer hardeners
Was an Armor Tanker pre-1.7 but the fitting versatility and maneuverability of the Gunnlogi in 1.7 made me jump ship. I've got long lasting Armor Hardeners too! :P
