DUST Search - TANKERS!

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.

I was trying out dispersion mods that match so I didn't have a fuel injector. They aren't that bad, really useful when trying to get targets at a further range. But not over all worth it. Fuel injector FTW It's taken some time to get used to the new tanks. I got used to using somas all the time before the big tank update. They had a completely different feel to them.

Natural resistances to most forms of AV. Solid Passive repair rates. LOL best fitting options - well it is 50/50 since it is your choice. highest EHP- yes but with no real reps. I can get a maddy with 2500+ to 3500 shield and 4500+ armor that has both a shield booster and armor reps (besides naturally) and armor hardners. higher raw hp values- I don't know about that. most of my tanks even basic ones has 2000 shield and 4500 armor. most shield tanks I see have 3500-4500 shields with 900 armor. highest damage- yes but after 3 damage mods. the amount of damage for hp loss it to great to be any good. like people who use 5 complex light damage mods vs 3 com light dam mods. the different is 3.5% for the 4 & 5 dam mod vs having 2 adv shield extenders on. better turning- yes but you lose at top speed. as far as acceleration they are close but with a fuel injector on there is little to no differents though if you use a M/KB let say the M/KB use a maddy vs a controller use a shield tank then the acceleration and turn speed differents it so little I can not tell between them. natural resistances to most av- yes but against plc you are very weak plus 1 small flux OB will take all of your shield for 300 war points. if a big flux OB hits you have no shields for 2 seconds at least. solid passive reps. I can see why you say it but shield boosters don't always work right. though I have seen more shield tanks die vs armor ones. still it is your choice to run shield tanks but a plc will kill you faster than a tank can. if you get caught in the back by even a basic plc and basic av grenades it will do tons of damage. plus flux grenades do tonas of damage to shield tanks even with hardners on. FYI the reason most blaster tank are armor is simple. they can shot ground troops even when right next to the tank. shield blasters can not hit troops when they are right next to them. try it and see. what to skill into next?

Don't even care if a scammer or not, just want gunners. This fit benefits from the highest damage output possible and is a stand and deliver. But for max effectiveness, I need gunners.
