LoL, they won't share their fits. How would they up their KDR when everyone uses a good tank fitting. That'd be too much like actual testing for tankers ;)
Best of luck with gettin a fit. I hope someone proves me wrong.

(Seriously though, it's like watching a block of plywood that suddenly starts kicking people.)

a good stag fit is easy a crisis damage control unit 2 proto dam resists a heavy sheild boost(+1700 one) a heavy shield extender(+300p/s) some PG and CPU extenders Railgun L and proto small missile turrets tears things up.....and unless someone with a better tank build then me (come on noc we all been wanting to know whats under that hood) this'll let you kill most tanks that spawn down.

no prob proto should prob hit up Noc Temper if you want to know more about tank builds though. just in case you didn't know holding the fire on a railgun saves the charge to shoot faster took me about a month to learn why I was always getting blown up. now go tear em up

edit: not sure if I should really be giving you tips...... you seem to do well enough for yourself....... but oh well....

search, there is a surya guide already posted, and I posted my dropship Eryx fit that may give you ideas for a Sageris.

Welcome to vehicles.

What's your Assault fit? :)

Tank Tanks Tanks......

Infantry wins games. Can't believe how useless teams can be when competent people aren't running the ground.

The nubs will never learn though

Yep, I've been in so many games where the mega tank team loses due to lack of control of the points.

Oh man. I hate hate hate it when they just circle the map getting kills, while I get shot in the back trying to hack stuff over and over again. It doesn't seem as bad now that the tank guys have big wads of cash and an impending wipe, but a few weeks ago it was clear that many of them were more concerned with farming kills and not losing their precious vehicle than the fate of the match.

Sitting in a tank all game makes me realize how incompetent the majority of the players that play this game really are. If people aren't competent on the ground it's a certain lost.

Protoman is actually experimenting with new things? crazy, maybe i can unhide his posts now. I don't know about "OP" but my usual Surya fit is something along the lines of a 60mm plate and a heavy rep, 3 voltaic resists, a CRU, and a damage control. if i were to upgrade some of these mods i'd just drop the CRU.

other fits of interest include the tri-rep where you have 1 heavy rep and 2 small reps, no plate, 2 resists and a damage control. This allows you to rep continuously, but makes you more vulnerable to being blown up quickly

another option is 3 resists, a 180mm plate and a 120mm plate with no reps, this setup can take a lot of damage but requires outside support to repair

Or maybe he's only doing it because he's sick of the tanks!

I just really wanted to play for K/D and boost skillpoints by using a tank tbh.

if you have (very) high fitting skills, i know you can make a surya with 28,000 EHP (as in, effective hp)
it has no reps, lots of armor resist amplifiers and good plating.
the only way to get its armor back is by parking near a supply station, or by having a very good repair tool on hand (hop out and rep it)

it can withstand something like 12 direct prototype swarm launcher hits, and 11 prototype forge gun hits. needless to say, you'll be out of the firing line by the fourth shot of each so it's not that big of a deal anyway

Well someone already posted the thread where I talked about the Surya fit a bit. Since there is no all around "best fit" for every situation, I generally start with a base fit and then modify it from there.

For a Sageris a good place to start is

Highs:
3 Resists
1 Extender
1 Large Booster

(Though trading a resist for a small booster is also a possibility if you want a bit more active fit)

Lows:
Whatever PG extenders needed to use the high modules with your skills
The rest Nanofibers to boost speed. Speed tanking is actually surprisingly effective, and with some builds you can fit 3 nanofibers on a Sageris to boost it up to a whopping 34m/s. It allows you to do a lot of hit and run because the tank moves almost on par with an LAV.

Weapons: As always, small missile turrets, and then whatever your preference for a large turret (which is again very situational)

I'll actually be doing a lot of infantry testing this weekend, probably a lot of logi support and some AV testing with a few new dropsuit fits I've been working on, so I probably wont be rolling around in the tank much.

I can pilot Sagaris, but don't really like tanks right now and don't have a fit I'd be confident in sharing.. but yes, resist is super important and often ignored by newbies. Nano tanks look fun, but the strength of a tank imo is to be able to hold down a cap point until it's yours, and speed doesn't help you then. My lows are nearly always filled with power grid boosters, preferably the 7%/7%/7% version for more shields and regen.. but nanos do look tempting for dropships also. Wish there was a stronger version.
