I tried out last week the tier 2 Sagaris with high modified shield amplifiers. In my opinion the only problem with them is that the shield amplifier stack penalty isnt enough. To be honest you shouldnt be aible to put 4 25% shield amplifiers on 1 HAV and beeing aible to get also a shield booster on it aswell. Cause the more you have on a tank equipped the harder its to take down no matter what. Even with alot of AV weapons you wont take down a experienced HAV driver. As soon he hits less then 60% shields he runs off, recharge shields and then returns to the battlefield. Cause at the moment the only counter against a Tier 2 HAV is another tier 2 HAV. And dont get me wrong this should also apply to the armor resistance modules.

@ Mobius - I'm curious where you sourced the info on the stacking penalties, could you provide that? Gotta say it does make sense that it wouldn't necessarily use the same stacking penalties from EVE because of the relatively limited number of slots available but that's what I've been working with so far.

Then the stacking penalty isn't working.

Anyone who thinks a well fit Sagaris can't be destroyed should try hopping in one and facing off against proto swarms camping on a tower, or a decent forge gunner. True, marauders are hard to take out, but that's how it should be, it's a freakin' tank. If they were easy to destroy, no one would use them because they cost too much to lose. Losing a marauder takes a few games to make up the cost. And that's just for one. If you want to destroy one all you need is either teamwork or a good strategy. Many times we spend half the match avoiding enemy fire because we don't want to lose our investment.

And in all honesty, I've noticed that the guys using proto suits usually get more kills, at least in ambush. It's due to the mobility, they can get into areas where tanks can't. Marauders are easy enough to avoid in most maps if you have an idea of where it is, just don't stand there and let it shoot at you.

And to all the people who futilely shoot at me with assault rifles, thanks for the easy kills.

THERE IS A T2 HAV!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Pokey - That may be so but without having a way to figure out how they're doing it from the in game UI it'd be nice to have a Dev post linked stating as much.

@ Pokey - makes sense, wouldn't even have bothered trying that myself because it's not really what I'd consider a controlled environment. That's good enough for me, means I don't have to go changing spreadsheets. Thanks.

Hoping to be on the IRC channel before too long, would be nice to have a bit more direct back and forth between the community and developers but I suppose given the quantity of threads on here that's a lot of time. IRC is a fair bit more immediate.
