So for the next 2 weekends im rolling out tanks
Im rich so i can easily afford it
Now first thing is first tanks are really easy to skill into
Second thing they handle like ****, basically unresponsive half the time
Thirdly large missiles good for killing ppl, **** against tanks and blasters are lol worthy, railguns seem the way to go for pure accurate damage, small missiles are a must
So im in armor tanks atm and shield will be done in a few matches and im making as many versions as i can think of which all carry a MCRU so i always have gunners but also it makes another spawn point
So my 4 types atm are Tank/Gank/Speed/Speed Gank
Tank - Basically as much armor EHP as you can put on it, also tho reppers are needed if you dont have logi support or any supply depots around. So i have 1 massive armor plate, and 2 small reppers with a PG/CPU mod, mids have the MCRU/Damage control and a shield recharger for the hell of it with 2 small turrets and will be a blaster i hope currently using large missiles. Its not bad really slow but can tank a bit
Gank - As many damage mods as you can take tbh, so weak tank but high in damage but its risky and prone to getting blown up quickly
Speed - So nanofibres but down side your armor takes a big hit so reppers are needed and awareness but your tanks agility is still **** tbh and trying to GTFO can still be too slow
Speed Gank - Nanos and damage mods, basically in and out whack em and gtfo out
Things i have noticed, swarm launchers are annoying more than forge guns because forge guns can miss
Always seems that i need to put on at least 1 PG and 1 CPU mod on in the lows even tho i have maxed out elec and engy skills, kinda of annoying because it takes up 2 low slots
Railguns it seems are better for against tanks due to direct high accurate damage
Shield tanks atm seem kinda limited, i dont think i could make a speed gank version because of 3 lows and if i need the extra PG/CPU mods then 2 are used already
So far with my experiments i havnt found an i win tank setup just yet
Also other tank drivers out ther what do you prefer, shield or armor tank?

I'm not sure about set ups never really tried them. I was in one the other day and his shield would take forever to recharge, most of the time he would be driving round with little/no shield left.
Only reason i tried em is because why not
Im loaded can easily earn enough SP in my proto fit then hit up the tanks when my SP hits rock bottom |

I still need to tinker with it tbh
I can fit 1 top repper and 1 top plate but then struggle tbh with PG/CPU espc for the weapons and MCRU takes 20/160 but at least it gives me gunners
Resists i do have and they are not bad but the stacking penalitys main mean tht the 4th is useless like in EVE, stick with 3 maybe |

With the 3 minds for the armor tanks kinda ****** with what you can put in
A DCU/MCRU but what is left is all shield stuff in general, i can save 20CPU with the lowest one so its empty basically, need some extra mods because its a wasted slot |

Because i just can
I do it in EVE on smaller ships like dessies and frigs for added agility except in DUST it really does **** all since your tunring cirle is that of a 747
I will try it on shield since it has 3 lows but i think it will need at least a PG slot knowing me
Also i dont think the armor -3CPU/PG skills are working or rarther i dont know if they are
In EVE your skills alter the fitting requirement for mods and it updates the mod/weapons with the new fitting requirements, it should do that in DUST for tanks
