Question is there any restriction or reduced effect on the number of armor repairs/ shield boosters / hardeners you can have in effect at 1 time?

So I'll share with you one of the best tricks I know.

If you're really annoyed at the randumb blue dot gunner, you CAN get rid of him!!!!!!!!!!

So you know how friendly and enemy LAVs explode in a large ball of fire if you hit them head or or rear end them? Well the explosion can kill your gunner! For the front gunner, hit the LAV with the front of your HAV, and make sure the front right corner is in the explosion. For the rear gunner, just ram an LAV while you're in reverse.

You're welcome!

Ok so I can tell you what not to do! haha.

Being an eve player, im used to 'dodgy fits' so I tired Shield tanking a madrugar with max damage n tracking.
It only has 2 mid slots so i went for dual shield extenders.

It works and it has a lot of damage , however once your shields are down, recharging them will take forever if you dont have someone to repair you. (aka specialized fit even at best, not recommended to shield tank an armor TANK)

yeah, the thread was dead for a month but im going to revive it.

Hey void, I see you switched from shield to armor. We should talk sometime. I'll give you a few secrets to my armor tanking success.

I have been doing some experimenting and made 2 very dangerous tanks.

Madrugar:

HP-
1034 Shields
10424 Armor

Turrets-
1 80GJ Scattered Neutron Blaster
2 Prototype 20GJ Scattered Ion Cannons

Modules-
1 180MM Reinforced Polycrystalline Plate
1 120MM Reinforced Nanofiber Plate
1 180MM Reinforced Nanofiber Plate
1 Light Polarized Armor Regenerator
1 Supplemental Shield Regenerator
1 Supplemental Shield Amplifier

Gunnlogi:

HP-
7418 Shields
1249 Armor

Turrets-
1 80GJ Compressed Particle Accelerator
1 Prototype 20GJ Compressed Particle Cannon
1 Prototype 20GJ Scattered Ion Cannon

Modules-
1 Heavy Azeotropic Ward Shield Extender
3 Azeotropic Ward Shield Extenders
1 Heavy Clarity Ward Shield Booster

And void. You need to check the fitting on the armor tank. It simply doesn't fit.

Your living on the edge there void with only a small armor rep and no armor hardeners.

What do you put on the low slots on the logi . On mine I have a powerdiognostic system and a dammage amplifier for the rail tank.

I have circuitry level 5
cpu upgrades level 3
nanocircuitry level 3
combat engineering level 5
powergrid upgrades level 3
field mechanics level 5
armor upgrades level 3

and a lot more **** at level 3

Void, I'm very interested in how the fit you mentioned above it working for you. I can't see it working at all without constant infantry support. Have you tried running with a Efficient armor rep, armor hardener, 2 passive 15% resists and the proto armor plates?

each tank driver in dust514 has their own style of play, just like me. rolling with a squad is better for me because I get support against enemy AV and I get orbital strikes faster. it just depends on who your with

I'm glad your fit is working for you man. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come across as "My fit is better than yours" I'm just surprised this is working. I'll have to give it a shot some time.

Erm its the proximity mines that give off the beeping sound not remite explosives . Remote expkosives have no signature other than being visible if your paying attention. If you hear the beeoing from prox mines then back up straight away you never know they could be proto abd decimate yoir tank.

Are there any skills that a Gunner would have that carry over to the tank in terms of non-weapon performance? The teamwork is what fascinates me about DUST, and I'd like to know if there's beneficial skills besides maxing damage for the turret you're manning.
