And with the rather low recharge rate of 126 (?) shield per second on the HAV, the extra HP you get is laughable.
I feel like the regulator needs its fitting costs reduced significantly and even make it so that shield regen becomes uninterruptible. Only then might I even consider fitting one over a fitting enhancement module.
Shield module fitting costs need to be looked at anyways. Shield HAVs require fitting enhancement modules while armor HAVs don't. Heavy boosters cost too much to fit and shield hardeners are more costly to fit than armor hardeners.

On that regulator, without the ability to fit for higher regen, it is utterly useless. An armor tank reps more than that with just one repairer, and at a constant rate to boot. Don't even bother with shield tanks atm. Utterly worthless against any but the worst of tanks. Might be good for blowing up MLT tanks but that's about it!
Whenever a proto Maddy appears on the field, I always pull out with my proto missile Gunny. Unless if it's a crap fit (but it's hard to tell without engaging), I cannot seem to be able to break through a proto Maddy's regen before its ion cannon melts through my higher EHP.
The only way to engage is with a damage modded particle cannon with a heat sink at range. Blow it up before it can reach you. Run away from close to mid-range engagement areas. Or if you feel confident, try to stalk it and gain all the advantages you can get by sending a few shots up its weak spot.
The problem with armor tank regen is that there is almost no downtime compared to a shield tank. Hit it an armor tank a couple times and for some reason you can't apply damage, that armor tank is good as new and probably closer and more deadly. Shield tanks, on the other hand, take time to recover even from the smallest attack.
