Missile tank? That's an incredibly cheap fit. You want the same performance with other methods? With that kind of driving you'd require about 2-3x the number of tanks to deploy using blasters or railgun.

You have to factor performance into the price of an object. If something costs 2x but performs 4x, that's a net change of about -50% cost

A single barrage is enough to take out all armor tanks I have seen on the field. Even shield tanks only last about two volleys.
Then there is the reload time. Railguns have to take the time to fire their shells, cooldown, fire again, then reload. Missiles just fire everything, then reload. Much faster turnover rate for initial firing, on top of a higher damage output, with an accuracy rating that is much tighter than a blaster, but a tiny bit less focused than a railgun. :/

Compared to other tank builds, there are NO downsides, only improvements.

Complete domination, we must have taken out 7-8 tanks with us losing 3 between both of us. It was freaking awesome, tank superiority at its finest. Dedicated Shield Tanking vet since Open Beta.

Use a missile tank. Guaranteed kills, no accuracy needed. I would laugh if the damage got cut in half for missiles, so that they actually had to engage a target instead of just shot spam everywhere. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

If he uploaded the rest of the video you would see him killing blueberries inside the city For the first half of the match. I wish GAC or SoTa had the match right before that. It was real. 5 tanks on each side At all times and plenty of **** exploding. These guys were pretty ho hum compared to that. Crush them

I tried taking him on with an armor tank, but as usual missile just deals insane amounts of damage. I would've been better off with a shield blaster fit. With the way I am, if it's one person, no matter who, I test them by getting in their face half the time; if they're hiding in the redline, I still go to take them on. Nope.
