I run 2 extenders and an afterburner.
With a cplx light and enh heavy, you get just over 3k shield and can fit a cplx AB and X-T missile (it's possible to get 3.2k shield w/ Basic Heavy EX > Cplx light, but it requires turret fitting skills and a basic AB).
It's good because it has just slightly less ehp than a single hardener alone (about 3.2-3.4ehp iirc), but never needs to recharge and has the added bonus of being able to fit an AB (unlike triple hardened fits).
Face it, you're never going to out tank a rail tank. The best way is to avoid damage by flying away and coming back and attacking the tank (which is why redline rails are OP, btw). As for AV, you can out run swarms easily and, if you're good at orbiting, you can easily dodge forge guns (I've been able to do nearly completely vertical, tight orbits while still targeting forge gunners, it's quite effective).

I do this too. 2 extenders and 1 AB. Still many times I have taken one single shot from something and it has totally wrecked nearly all of my shields. Man every thread I look at keeps reminding me about how broken this game is :(
It's impossible to one shot this fit (I'm fairly sureGǪhasn't happened to me yet).
Still, two shots from a damage modded proto rail or breach will kill it (I don't know the exact numbers), but if you're good with keeping your velocity and quick to activate your AB, you should be fine. Imo, your best chance to survive is to not get hit at all.
