As i mentioned in an earlier post I played almost extansively with AV this build. After reading a lot of feedback I decided to try out tanks solely to see the other side. I had some experior with tanks before but only in the last build.
I ran with a ~750k Gunnlogi

--:2x Shield Amp
1x Damage control Unit
1x Heavy Shield Booster
1x Heavy Shield extander
':2x Powergrid Expansion Unit

2x Missile Launcher
1x Militia Railgun

I realize this is not the ideal setup but I spent under 1 million SP for this and its pretty much the best I could afford without any more SP. If I were to upgrade anything it would be to get the better shield resistance modules. Then turrets.

I've had good and bad games, so far I've lost all 5 Gunnlogi I had made and I made a profit with only one of them, keeping it alive for 5 games, overall I lost about 2.5 millions.
My best score was 23/0 and I was rewarderd with 112k SP and 265k ISK. This is with the 50% xp boost.

It didn't feel like my tank was overly powerful, the 23/0 game happened because I was protecting an objective where the ennemy camp kept spawning and my guys hadn't capped it yet, the opposition was pretty dumb and the most damage I got during that time was from a Locus grenade. I also destroyed a bunch of ennemy instalations.

What I learned from playing with tanks is that they are strong but nowhere close to being invulnerable. A tank without gunners better stay back or be very careful. Its easier to get a lot of SP and ISK with a tank. The Gallente tanks are meh and the Caldari shield tank are pretty decent.

Overall AV is much more profitable as I can make a powerful AV setup with under 1 million SP and deploy a strong AV dropsuit for under 100k or even under 40k if you just upgred the suit and Swarm/Forge. The current problem with AV lies in getting skillpoints. Destroying 5 tanks + some other vehicules in a game will net me around 50k SP witch feels like not much at all in comparison with the effort and skill required to do so. Maybe Destroying a tank with AV should reward more sp than a tank killing a tank, I don't know. I trust CCP to figure all that out.

It sounds like you need practise using militia tanks. You learn to get out quick when 3-4 militia swarmers / AV nades will kill you. I haven't used higher tier tanks this build, but over confidence is the biggest killer of HAVs IMHO.

On a side note I would love to see an external CRU module, meaning the infantry spawns outside your tanks, often tank gunners will stay with you for a whole game making the CRU a waste of space. Having it spawn teammates outside would ensure you a steady supply of anti-AV and cannon fodder.

tanks are not invincible they just require a corrdinated team now vs an individual. I ran a supreme tank in the last 2 builds, this build im running things that are even more OP check my KD looks like its padded by tanks. 25% hardeners make it so dropships and cars dont get 1 hit

OP if you have like playing AV you should know that AV with a tank is more powerful than AV without one.

You could just soften them up from afar by using a militia rail-gun tank and possibly lure them somewhere on the open where they are highly vulnerable to swarms...
