Swarms will knock it into a wall/ground death collision and if nothing else, displace it's position over the tank to where that heavy turret will obliterate the ds. Correction: Shield tanked myron can hover and take swarms for a good long while. When I'm harassing a tank, I hover where the tank is just about at the edge of my blaster range (gives me a larger cone above the tank I can operate in), so swarms bumping me around isn't bad. Rails and forges can seriously mess me up, though. |

However I can take about 5 MIL swarm hits and a MIL forge before having to bug out in a DS with 804 shields and 2194 armour (running 2x armour hardeners, 2x armour reppers, 1 x shield repper and 1x shield hardener) Less for better gear but still I can tank enough to hover long enough to tank wipe. God... Nobody understands how to tank a vehicle. You do NOT go half and half. You go all one or all the other. Why? When you're into armor, that shield booster and hardener are absolutely useless. When you're still in shields, those armor hardeners and repper aren't doing a thing. You're wasting module slots. I'm assuming you're using a Gallente DS, so armor tank the thing and throw yourself an AB, CRU, active heat sink, anything because you'll get a lot more mileage out of them than that measly shield.
If you're shield tanked, throw some PDU's in the lows as they'll give you not only extra PG, but a little more shield too. |

It's what most newbies think when they start fitting their ships... vehicles... And it's not been helped by the fact that the non-tank dropsuit modules are **** so dropsuit fitting does favor dual-tanking, so mercs new to the EVE fitting thing get shown down the wrong road. Well, honestly with dropsuits it's all about your buffer tank. There is NO way to active tank incoming bullets. The armor plate and shield extenders increase your buffer, and the armor reppers and shield regulators/rechargers keep them topped up. I think people fit their dropsuit and then say, "Huh, let's fit a vehicle that way because it works when I've got boots on the ground." |
