As long as you have a Gunlogi I'm all for riding in a tank.

Lil' Debbie's Red Line Tours is open for business!!

Tour your own red line in style!!

Almost hi-def views of the objective from a nice safe distance of at least 150 meters!!

AND FOR A LIMITED TIME: Complimentary cocktails for every clone spawned in our mobile CRUs!!

Can confirm, Lightning is not a redline tanker. He actually stays until his hardener runs out, not before. That's how it should be done. In which case I forge gunned the weak spot unintentionally and one-shotted him from full HP. :) GG

Also... I have access to a friend's account with about 40m SP in vehicles, everything in vehicle upgrades maxed out. So I could join in on any vehicle squads.

LOL Shield tanks are way too weak. run behind it with a Exp or kubo plc and shoot its weak spot and BYE BYE shield tank. Exp & kubos can do 3699 at just level 3 proficiency with no damage mods to a shield tanks weak spot. plus kubo can shot 1 shot per second. giving the tanker about 1/4-1/2 second to react and turn on modules. At max prof they will do 4061. LOL if it is a max gall commando it does 4415 again no damage mods. Now add just 2 complex light damage mods on it and 4874 & to non weak spot it does 3078 to shields. even if you turn on 2 shield hardners it will do 3168 to your weak spot. meaning 2 shots will kill the tank if it has less than 5000 shields and 900 armor. to non weak spot it will do 2001 meaning less than 3500 shield and 900 armor and again BYE tank. LOL that don't count in for av grenades. SO how will your shield tank hold up?

The Gunnloggi with a blaster is the much, much higher skill ceiling vehicle.

Sure a maddy can do a lot, and even a pure muppet can do alright in them. But they can be dogpiled pretty easily, and even just a couple of swarmers can drive it off.

The shield blaster tank is the height of skill in this game. Lots of module management, stopping is fatal, but in return you get biblical tank. Pretty much every time you die you can trace it back to an error you made, and work to correct it. It rewards every effort you put in, and will let you stroll into fights that would have a maddy broken in seconds.

The maddy is easy mode, and easily killed, no matter what the player does, the shield blaster setup allows the driver to be the deciding factor, rather than the hull.

If your always moving, most plcs will miss. They won't miss a maddy. The best gunnloggi fits allow you to eat the first PLC shot and then boost, so even a kubos needs to good hits.

Yes, you can get av naded, but the maddy eats it in the same situation.

The maddy is not faster than the gunnloggi. It has a higher top speed until you slap a plate on it, at which point the speed difference across the ground is notable. Even an enhanced plated maddy is a pig compared to the shield tank.

To top it off the shield tank gains a more notable advantage with gunners. Not only can they carry turrets catered to their chief opponent, but having troops on board neatly cures the most notable weakness of the tank, the lack of turret depression.

I don't know if you can fit it, but take the Turtle fit out, run away from enemy blaster tanks until you are comfortable driving rings around everything else.

3 Complex Hardeners
1 Complex Extender
1 Enhanced Heavy Booster

Turrets of Choice

Complex CPU and PG.

Step down to a basic booster, and downgrade the extender to make it fit. The triple complex hardeners are not an option.

Once you come to grips with how and when to modulate your hardeners, the thing is an absolute beast. Can face down waves of AV, soak rail shots, and is immune to missiles with a hardener active.

Learning the booster is the whole thing. When it will work, when it might, when it won't, for sure. Being able to count on the booster, as much as the game allows is what lets you pull off absolutely insane engagements.

I slagged off shield tanks for a long time, pretty much since they eliminated the speedy regen fits. When I finally got back into a fully active shield tank, the adjustment was a shock. But the rewards, oh boy.

lol, scrubs :D
if any1 wants to run a tank squad, pm me n ill q sync w/you, i enjoy fighting tanks.
for all the haters b4 u talk ****, yes im 'the' scammer/scrub, <3 you to!
