Can't speak for dropships, don't really use them.
A tank shouldn't be going down to 2 swarm hits ever, so lets break this down.
First, turrets and your playstyle.
Rails for tanks and dropships, Missiles for armor and not horrible infantry performance, Blasters for up close party time.
Hardeners, 2 on armor tanks, try and fit three on a shield tank if you can. Turn them on before the party starts.
On armor, plate 2 hardeners and a heavy rep is a good base for every turret. Dual rep blaster, triple hardener rail can work in places, but stick with a base layout until you know when.
Do not stay close to infantry. If they get in close, move out and take range. If you see a full squad all closing around you, hit a prop mod and do a lap.
Against infantry, ideally you want to keep them 30 m away so that they aren't lobbing lai dais at you. Anytime you see a horde, be cautious on driving up near them, and look for the glow from nanhives. 2 people on a nanohive with lai dais will wreck you in very short order.

Pretty sure OP is someones alt trying a low-effort troll. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=218503&find=unread
Pretty sure you don't know anything about tanking if you think that is trolling.

On a basic level, fly shield dropships, better resists to swarms. 2 hardeners, ab, buffer I guess.
Beyond that, other people will have to teach you, as I never got into them.
I'll tell the D's pilots I know about this thread.
