I treat tanks like disposable I just want to run a dedicated tank drivers fit to prove how OP it is.

Two main styles for Sagaris proto. Either double heavy booster or heavy booster with heavy extender.
PDUs in the lows for extended durability or Skadis for the glass cannon fit.

1st option is mostly for small arms defense, second is for forge/tank defense.

Weaponwise its pretty much rail all the way. Its similar to an oversized charge sniper rifle with armor. Large Missile has an atrocious back blast that ruins its usefulness and the blaster is really underpowered (for tank weapons) and seems a total waste of time, especially since it needs more cpu/pwd than the rail.

Also in case you havent checked the stats, you are aware that a forge gun infantry actually does more damage against tanks than even tanks can right?

Great weapon against noobs, but gets roflstomped by AV infantry that know what they are doing.

when my tanks get blown up I just hop out kill people then call in another one and keep going #MoneyTeam

Are you getting sick of loosing your spendy tank and burning up isk like most vehicle drivers do. well go no further. proto blaster proto missile small proto blaster small on front. 2 resist 25% 14% SUIT CASE best booster you can fit best shield extender. 14% power boosters across the bottom. and before you say its bad i can go 30+ with it and tank vs tank i never loose if turrets are full. i have had 6 proto av guys hunting me a full game and went 20+ abd never got popped. put 50 down you can not drive it. :)

It just takes a little brain power and time. If after that you still cant find a good fitting, then its probably you that isnt a good driver and not the tank. for enemy teams with a strong air superiority, try putting a railgun on the small top turret. if you synced with a good gunner, try putting a blaster on the front. in this particular build go with a large railgun, unless the enemy team has no tanks, then you can go large missile turret

Tanks aren't OP teamwork is. Last match I went 23/0 the one previously I went 12/3 considering each fit costs about 300k that's pretty darn crap. Lost 900k prolly killed like 120k's worth of suits. The difference between the 2 matches? One had a load of solo players, the other had what appeared to be 3 guys working together. Had to give up using the tank in the end.

I use tanks and sometimes yeh you can run around with little competition. But then other times you find someone who's equally versed at killing tanks as you are at killing with them, then you find your matched. Only normally yournot matched because I don't get back up. But normally there's more than one of you proto guys shooting at once and I can't even run away fast enough let alone go peg to peg and go pop.

Don't even worry about armor so long as you keep your reppers up (They only have 3 second cool downs) you can be getting pounded on continuously by multiple Proto-Forge Gunners and not even flinch =D. Just one caveat, make sure your buddies not a total idiot and knows to keep an eye on our module, and isn't confused by module activation lock on and fire controls... Otherwise with all the heat you'll attract just sitting stationary eating proto-forges and swarmers you'll die quickly while he's fumbling trying to reactivate his repper.
