I created what I thought was a pretty good militia tank, normal shields with reinforced steel plates but as I was pushing the enemy line I began taking assault rifle fire and it did serious damage to my shield as well as armor. My tank ended up getting destroyed by an assault rifle, I simply want an explanation as to why this is |

You sure you wasn't getting hit by AV grenades, forge guns or warmers aswell as small arms fire? How much shield and armour did you have? |

Well it only takes a couple of AV grenades to kill a tank, within a second or too you can go from full health to dead, especially if your stationary and/or on armour. |

How much shield and armour your tank have? Tanks get killed VVERY quickly but small arms don't really do much apart from make the driver laugh XD |

well, HMGs can eat up very poorly fitted vehicles. especially militia.
Possible you had multiple heavies and ARs shooting at the tank, and an AR simply got the kill credit. :(
I know this sucks. Apparently tanks were too devastating a long time ago. Even the militia ones, and were nerfed.
I still think tanks die too easy, even standard ones.
i don't know man, I hope to see more for tanks in the future. |

HMGs don't do a whole lot vs a tank unless you took the punishment from a few of them over a prolonged period, by that time the tanks turrets would have laid waste to them. |

all I know is that my tank has basic shields because its a modified militia build but I know that it has increased armor plating |

Well then it would take more than small arms fire to destroy you unless they were shooting for a few mins.
You got killed by AV weaponry, a stationary turret or another vehicle. |

There are some problems with battle reporting and you, Merc, have found some of them. There is nothing past the red hit indicator as to what is happening. That and your shield and armor going away indicated by the dropping arcs and reduced values for both.
When you build Any vehicle you need to check the Shield/Armor values. The HUD information in the lower left hand corner will tell you the current values as they are depleted and regenerated.
Shields will regenerate automatically. Not fast enough to save your tank however.
Shield Boosters Regenerate Shields quickly. They are Active and require that you select them.
Armor can only be Repaired. With either a built in unit or outside assistance such a Logi Bro with rep tool. If it gets too low the vehicle catches on fire and the cause is lost soon afterwards without quick Armor Repair. Fixing the shields at this point might save you from instant destruction but will Not save the tank. Armor Must be repaired.
All that is fine but as the previous posts have pointed out, correctly, that small arms fire cannot hurt a tank. I would modify that to say a Healthy tank. The problem is that you can Hear small arms fire while not Seeing the weapon trail that did the damage. The Only thing the kill log will convey is the Last Weapon or event that killed your vehicle. Just (died) means your HAV burned up.
Read more on HAVs in the Training Ground. Asking specific questions is fine as well. You may get links to previous posts or you can use the Search function to find them yourself. |
