Infinite. Nuclear arsenal wouldn't even break shields, assuming our vehicle weapons are actually putting out 80GJ. A rail tank could destroy New York with a single round.

No seriously though, a lone HAV with no support would fare no better or worst than any current modern battle tank imo. |

Maybe but it would take every immortal clone soldier and every starship in the EvE universe to take on Mexicos narcos, and the narcos would still clone us out with no losses. |

Here's a fun fact: Six gigajoules is about the amount of chemical energy in a barrel of oil that is released when combusted.
Detonating 14 barrels of oil would not level New York.

Firstly the shielding is strong enough to take missiles and still be up, so you would need a nuke to drop shields.
Secondly the armor repair is almost like having infinite armor but over time. Cue 2nd nuke to clear armor.

Huh? A DS crashing into your tank will wipe out the shields, Al Quieda would kill a maddy in 5 seconds. |

Well, if we're talking about a blaster Madrugar it might have issues tbh.
I mean yea, you wouldn't really be able to crack its shields, but at the same time its liable to run out of ammo fairly quick.
As you've given it no backup or way of re-stocking, I imagine it would eventually run out of ammunition and be boxed in by other vehicles. If the resisting force was clever they would eventually find a way to flip the thing, or destroy enough of the ground beneath it that it could no longer move. At this point the driver would starve to death slowly over a two week period or so, depending on his weight. |

I dunno, but at least the civilians will be safe as it cannot destroy any structures. Just stay indoors or behind lamp posts etc and you'll be perfecly safe.

Hmmmmm its fire power would be unmatched it probably would decimate modern tanks with two of three shells.... and infantry wouldn't stand a chance to even one...... best the military could hope to do with its primitive, by comparision, weaponry is try to catch a Maddy in a Naval bombardments during its hardener down times.

I guess it depends on whether the shielding and armor used is effective against the types of weapons we can use, sure it might be optimized against its contemporary weapons that might be used against it, but it might not be optimized against the types of weapons we can use. I'd say one battleship with some cruise missiles could probably take it down.
Heck, even some C4 strapped on could probably take it down. |

A plasma rifle will be able to melt right through modern day armor.

I don't think you know what a Gigajoule is.
Giventhat a well placed group of remote explosives do the trick, it's safe to assume that a well coordinated effort from a group of modern day tanks could kill it, though they would have near-zero chance of surviving a hit from a rail turret, or a blaster turret if it's in range.
I would put my money on an A-10 scrapping a Madrugar if got it's Gau-8, Hydra 70's, and a salvo of Mavericks on target

Just throw a bunch of national guards at it, it will run out of ammo and theres no supply depots in new york, as someone has already pointed out an RDV would never survive trying to bring a new tank in if the pilot recalls :D

Hardly - 80GJ is barely 20 tons. Even the WW2 nukes were three orders of magnitude more powerful.
...which isn't to say that 20 tons of TNT is to be sneezed at ;). |

Then how the hell did it survive entry into earth orbit and land fall? When a drunk rdv pilot decides it can't descend any farther and just drops my tank too high just blowing up 300k without even get a chance to make any money off of it.
