Don't use passive shield resistance mods on tanks because they are terrible. They only work on the hull of the tank. Shield extenders do not get the extra resistance. |

Nope, active work on the whole tank. I made a mistake earlier about them not a long time ago, sorry about any confusion ^_^ |

Shield extenders do not get the extra resistance. really? because is seems to be fixed now. the passive mods work better for me then the active mods unless i do something dumb like exposing my backside of the tank to av then it just doesn't matter.
Liked! Yes, we have been hoping that they will change it. From the last tests that were done, it was still the same (ie passive only worked on hull.) You should totally test it out for us xD.
For now I'm just going to use the last set of correct data, which said that passive did not work on shield extenders until I get hard evidence that it has changed. I may or may not switch, we shall see! Right now I love my shield tank fits. They are awesome for CB tank v tank fights, but not so good at pub stomping. I just finished my CB tank skills (lol @ 7.5+mil sp 0_0) but soon I'll make a pub stomping tank.
I believe small turrets also had a ninja buff recently. I do not know if it has to do with how they fire, controls, view, or stats, but it seems like they are better than they once were. They still have terrible hit detection, but hopefully that will change in the future. |

Trying to get a CCP Dev to explain how it works, but as of right now I would not count on the passive resist mod working on the entire shield. |
