honestly, just dont mix shield and armor mods, make sure you have a good balance of resistance and reps, and dont go for the most expensive tanks without getting the fittings up first.

HUUUUURRRRRRRPPPPP DDDDRRRRRRRREEEEPPPPPPP!

O he dont know me to well do he ^

you want tank fit???

more like you want PRO FITS !!!

ill tell you rite now being mostly the best tanker in game its all about what YOU Feel like and what Gun your using .

to start you off here you have 2 guns to pick from

Blaster or Railgun

Blasters are for your battle tanks

and battle tanks are hi HP tank with a booster

the best battle tanks are armor tank they have the most buff but are slow to turn and get up to speed *
*so remember when ever driving a battle tank stay close to cover as your speed is your heel .

now for a armor battle tank pro fit

1 L blaster

2 small blaster

Low,s 1 L rep 2 Armor hardeners 2 Resistance plates or 1 Resistance plates and a S rep ( only use fit in close in map)
( or if in a open map armor plate)

Hi.s 3 resistance amplifiers

and thats a battle tank.

shield battle tank

1 L blaster

2 small blaster

Hi,s 2 resistance amplifiers 1 shield booster 1 shield extender 1 shield hardener

lows 2 power Dignostic systems 1 systemic hybrid damage mod

and thats battle tanks. fittings may or may not be up to date with build and remeber to max out you fitting skills for CPU and PG. as well as mods

as for railgun tanks there called TD,s
( Tank destroyers)

and they only good for one thing !
(and yes i 99%of the time use them)

the best TD,s are shield tanks with the soma being the only Good armor tank if you only look at isk cost and may be the best tank for the job but most TD,s that are good are shield tanks.

TD shield tank
1 L railgun

2 small railguns

hi,s 2 resistance amplifiers 2 shield hardener 1 shield extender

lows 3 dmg mods for L railguns

TD armor

I would also like opinions on whether to go for the shield or armor variants. Thank you.

Lots of actives to remember though
NAV HIV The Generals 151	Posted - 2013.02.14 13:25:00 - [10] - Quote I prefer armor tanks. They have massive amount of flaws. But if you know what you are doing, they can be quite entertaining. Skill up to a Madrugar. But upgrade your shield and armor skills first.

Psi R IT'S NO USE 23	Posted - 2013.02.14 15:10:00 - [13] - Quote This are the Dust Forums, where no one does any constructive posts. Don't expect anyone to share an actual good fit or discuss tank fittings, because some people seem to think that they are genius for having figured out that fitting vehicles in Dust go by the same principles as EVE ships.

I just have to add that dual tanking is not advised and you would be better off sacrificing some HP for a booster. Having no regenerative ability is somewhat suicidal unless spider tanking.

He'll blow your tank up you know,,. um, if i recall my track record with him shows otherwise. also, its not always about packing damage mods to a compressed railgun and sniping all match. im all about the corp and sometimes a tank is needed elsewhere, sometimes even as that sacrificial pawn, which i am happy to play if the time arises. furry is certainly one of the few tankers i respect, but weve been crossing eachother's paths for a while now, much earlier than i think youve even been in this game, so w/e i guess. different playstyles are different playstyles. shoutout to furry, dude might be rolling his eyes to me but he certainly acts like a cool dude when we are on comms together lol.
