My tank was the Madrugar
It had over 1k in shield and 9880 in armor, so over 10k in health
At the time of the strike i was full health, i didnt use my repper as i wanted to see if it could take it head on, i did not move
The warbarge strike killed the tank with over 10k health
Do you think this is okay?
yes, because it's explosive damage to an armor tank.
Yesterday in fact, i survived an orbital strike in my gunloggi, which only has about 5k shield but has 2 active shield amp's and 2 heavy shield booster's. When the orbital hit i popped everything i had, starting with the 2 amp's, and ending with the 2 booster's. When the orbital was over, i still had about 1k or more shields, and my booster's still had a pulse left each.
Replace some plating on your tank with another repper and some armor hardener's, and try it again.

By the way passive tanking, as it is known in eve, is where your shields/armor passively repair themselves with no use of outside active module's. They use a combination of high HP totals and as I said, passive self healing.
For this to occur, you have to have more passive armor regen per second than the amount of damage done per second to your vehicle, or at least enough to repair after a burst attack before the next strike.
Basically this is impossible in dust at the moment, as the highest possible hp regen on a gunloggi I ever reached was something stupid like 40hp per second or something terribly weak like that... |

you think a land vehice should be able to survive an impact/explosion from a massive orbiting station/spaceship, that has equally as massive guns... |

Tank should have a chance to survive. If you want realism make my proto blaster that is mounted to a huge land vehicle one shot kill. Do you think that a tank mounted massive big proto blaster should deal one third of an officer sniper's damage? Let me remind that they are both using plasma rounds and tanks barrel is longer, round and mechanism are bigger.
I completely understand where you are going with this, but the sniper charge would be much more of a concentrated missile, where the blaster from a tank is large and fairly uncontrolled.
In Eve a rail gun, which is what the sniper rifle basically is, fires a projectile composed of a solid cased atomic core that has been pre-charged in the barrel of the gun. The solid round is then electromagnetically projected down the barrel of the weapon, exiting with an insanely high muzzle velocity. The projectile causes large amounts of impact damage as the solid core impacts the target and explodes, and the charged atomic core causes intense heat with it's release.
A blaster in Eve fires the same ammunition, but instead of leaving it solid, they use the charged atomic core to melt down the solid casing, basically like a meltdown in a nuclear reactor, and at the peak of it's energy, they fire it out of the weapon again using electromagnetic propulsion. The charged plasma or discharge if you will, rapidly loses velocity and energy as it cools while it flies through the air towards the target.
and that's why. |
