So... I put about 2 weeks of SP into armor tanks, and I was just able to eat two flux grenades, one forge gun, and an orbital without moving.
And guess what? I was down 1k armor (out of over 6) by the time the orbital finished.
Oh, and my armor repair unit wasn't done, so it got me to full HP a couple seconds later.
Then another forge gunner got off a shot, but it did little damage because armor tanks can lol have an armor hardener up 100% of the time.
And since a few of my cooldowns were recharging, I decided to use my nitrous boost to go way faster than a shield tank ever could.
So **** you armor HAV operators, you have nothing to complain about! Don't be mad because a shield tank with a railgun is the *only* thing that can kill you. That was enough AV to kill two to three Sagaris, and a Madrugar took it all like it was nothing.
> I have heard that two proto AV can also take out an armor tank. Well guess what? It only takes one to kill a shield tank. |

P.S.
I'm not saying that armor tanks should be nerfed. Two proto AV seems like plenty enough to me. If anything, shield tanks could use a small booster (ie making hardeners last longer) but I'm alright with things staying similar to how they are now with shield tanks being the only hard counter to armor. |

They **** up shield tanks.

WOW! So what you are saying is that someone needs to have AV weapons to do any damage to armor tanks? Well let me tell you about shield tanking...

Thanks for supporting my comments about armor tanking is easymode. You realize that shield tanks lose a huge amount of HP and cannot rep it or be back to near 100% effectiveness during and after the weakest OB strike?
Val'herik Dorn wrote:One forge gun shot is not all that impressive either.
Right, because I was in an EzMode armor tank. Getting shot by a forge gun during an OB and then right after in a shield tank is almost certain doom.
Mavado V Noriega wrote:ya wasnt sure how to reply to the flux nade part tbh......
Because they **** up shield tanks and infantry. AV grenades only work on vehicles. A guy running a 100% anti-infantry fit with anti-infantry grenades can do some serious damage to shield tanks.
At least someone has to put some effort into killing an armor tank.
If armor HAVs are as good as shield HAVs in tank on tank warfare, why the **** would anyone use a shield tank when they are weak as hell to infantry?
Armor tanking is easy mode when compared to shield tanking. At least you can handle some AV. |

As someone who can go into the game, read, and try out, I can tell you lots of things too!

Step 1: Get off forums and go turn on DUST
Step 2: Look at the marketplace. Look at speed of armor vs shield.

Well maybe you are including armor plates. So why not set up a race? Since the armor tank actually gains some survivability by equipping a nitrous boost, why not try one fit with that on and another with it off against the shield tank. Shield tanks lose a lot of survivability by equipping one of those. |

i can't get over 5.1k and have well over 3 mill invested (combat fitted, rep hardeners ect.)
nos, 6k+ armor, and a rep, please tell me again how you had enough pg for that on an STD tank.
6k+ armor and still faster than a shield tank?
I FORMALLY CALL SHENANIGANS ON YOU SIR! *points at op*
video or gtfo
1x best heavy armor rep
1x best 180mm plate
2x best hardeners
1x PG mod because I only have L3 in armor plates, you know, because armor tanking is easy
You're welcome btw. I know you were just wanted to know what I used to survive all of that ;) CCP is changing things, so you'll have to try that build vs a gunnlogi again. Give armor a nitrous, and gunnlogi none because no one uses that on a shield tank (and for good reason...)
Total armor = 6752 HP |
