This tank will be able to take a lot of hits before falling but should be played defensively its natural recharge will be quite high however with no speed ups and shield resistance will be thin to some weapons. It will have no damage ups but very naturally powerful turrets. With additional skills from the above post will be very powerful damage wise.
Just a couple things to weigh in on.
#1: Resistance > Regeneration: The reasoning behind this is resistance increases your effective HP and also your effective HP regeneration because you will take less damage from attacks. With 20% damage resistance, you will still regenerate the same shields but those shields you regenerated will beable to take 20% more damage. While having the awesome regen is sweet, having no resistance will evaporate your tank should a good amount of alpha your way aswell. But just keep in mind shield hardeners are quite terrible so often you'll be limited to shield resistance amps.
#2: Missiles. No. Please: Currently missiles are quite terrible. So terrible they arn't worth using. Even the 4%/lvl bonus from marauders does not make up for the fact that blasters wreck infantry better (aswell as anything in range really) and railguns will destroy any heavy assets at range with much greater efficiancy.
I would also like to say there is value in having both shield and armour fits. Armour is much tougher in open combat and make great assault vehicles and infantry support vehicles. While shield tanks are more mobile and make better heavy skirmishers.
Just my 2 cents
But there are some great points in your posts, definately some great things to learn for new tankers. Thanks for your contribution and time. |
