Cool thanks... Yeah I'm working on getting my engineering and CPU up to lvl 5 so I have the extra CPU/PG to take off the ph upgrades on the low slots to make room for damage mods.

Is the next tier caldari tank (can't remember the name) worth the skill points/isk? It hardly seems like I'll get that much difference upgrading from the gunnlogi, thoughts?

I currently only focus on using the railgun turret with my shield tank so ill give you my fit as something to aim for


Gunnlogi:

High:
2x Large Supplimental Shield extender
2x Supplimental Resistance Amp (move to the 15% when possable)
1x Surge Shield Hardener

Low:
2x 10% Damage mods (use whatever damage mods you have until you can fit the 10%s

Weapon
LVL 2 or LVL 4 Compressed railgun
2x small turrets of choice (or basic missles if your fitting is limited)


You will want your CPU and PG skills maxed ASAP as it will help greatly with fitting what you want as your small turrets
Suggestions for small turrets:
Front: Cycled missle turrest (level 2 or 4 small missles required)
Top: Scattered Blaster turret (level 2 or 4 small basters required)

Alternativly if you find you have alot of people sitting in your tank being useless or just trying to troll you put in 2 small railgun turrets of choice, this makes trolls get bored because they cant shoot into the sky and see pretty colors or shoot your tank and cause it to shake. It also keeps your position relativly hidden as the shots from them are rather invisable and they overheat quickly meaning they cant just shoot infanatly around in circles being anoying.


Note that you cant use the proto railguns and still maintain the shield setup above without moving to the sagarus.


Another alternate setup is replacing the surge shield hardener with a small shield booster for faster regen (its more effective than the regen mods)


Your job is similar to a ground sniper in that your constantly relaying battlefield intel to your team and ocasionally picking off infantry and snipers (and hill forge gunners/swarmers)

But your job is also instalation destruction and the killing of RDVs for massive amounts of WPs


Your job is to ensure your team has vehicle dominance by shooting down those RDVs (you get 150WPs per bolas +40 for basic LAVs they drop if you can nab them to) and that turns to 180WPS if you have a defend order on your tank from your squad leader

Your job is to generate WPs for your team and call out troop movements and dangerous targets if you see them, your team will be gratefull and look out for you by telling you when people are sneaking up on your tank and when other tanks and AV hit the field.



Dont be discouraged by the trolls who will ram you tank with LAVs, other tanks, who sit in your guns and spam, or just do wield things like plop down nanohives and shoot your tank all day.

It happens



And the most important part, every time you bring out a tank, expect it to be destroyed, and if it looks like your about to go down.... scuicide if you can to deny the team the 190-280 WPs your tank will give them (i suggest this only when you play with a full squad of people you know - against pubs when your solo just use a militia tank and expect to lose it)

Sica setup:
Large militia shielde xtender
shield resistance amp
small shield booster

2x best damage mods
1x compressed railgun of choice
2x small turrets it comes with

This is going to die, alot, and in pub matches (without squad support) i suggest using this to save on costs because your own team will likly get you killed more oftin than not untill your used to repositioning your tank repeatedly to avoid the inevitable infantry AV squad ambush

After some thought im back with some more.


Since your a blaster kind of guy heres a few things ive noticed.

10% damage mods may or may not benifit you, your kind of more a hit and run specialist as shields cannot withstand anywhere near the punishment of armor, in your case the shield booster 1x extender and 3x amps are perfect for what your doing and the disagnostics mods in the lows wil help your survivability wich you will need.

you wont need the surge as much due to your constantly moving state and quick speed will make getting out from under orbitals that much easyer.


You will want infantry between you and the reds, your not a brawler, you are basically support, puttting shots over your teams head and forcing the reds to get into cover means your guys are not getting shot at nearly as much. you wont get as many kills this way but your infantry will thank and protect you (on pupose and just because your using them as a meat shield) the second **** his the fan and your infantry drop like flies you need to leave and wait for them to respawn and form a new battlefront you can hide behind.


Also your not going to win many tank Vs tank battles without infantry support, you lack the EHP and rep ability to stay in it for the long haul and if you try to go toe to toe with a mudruger your going to be on the losing end, instead you want to harass him, get him to chase you, run away and come back to scare him into moving stupidly amunst your blues, your going to have to rely on your team to help you take out other tanks

terrible setup, i come over to you in my soma and SHlT on you, on your gunloggi,

Passive resist is terribad.

Why?

Only works on hull. Shield extenders do not get the passive resist. Just do the calculations.

i think your confusing resistance modules with diagnostic low slot modules that increase base shields

No, I am not. That's how those passive mods and skills work. It changes the "base" value. That's why shield control (5% to vehicle shield per level) only affects the tank hull, and not the shield extenders. Same thing. It's the active mods that change the stats to everything (they are counted last).

And I guess it could be misinterpreted, but I meant "do the calculations" for how much EHP a passive resist mod that only changes the shield resistance of the hull, and does not help the extenders.

There's a possibility that they have changed it, but I'd say it's highly unlikely from what they usually do. I don't play EVE, so you can ask an EVE pilot if it's a similar system there. (ie passive resist only for hull, and not extenders)

where have you gotten this information from?
