The greatest advantage armour has over shields (vehicles) is their respective hardeners' durations. Typically, it takes more than 10 seconds (shield hardener duration) between the first bit of AV to the last to destroy a tank or dropship. If a pilot tries to second guess the enemy and activate the hardener before any AV is fired off, the hardener is useless for the next 30 seconds and you're screwed. If you equip two hardeners, eHP will be too low for it to matter.
Now, armour hardeners, as we all know, lasts 60 seconds, with a cool down of 15. 6x the duration and half the cool down time of a shield hardener. This means resistance is up long enough to activate before any enemies are in sight, roll or fly in, kill, and get out, all before its even cooling down.
So yes, when you play it right, armour is definitely easier to use for anti-infantry. Shields are, due to ther passive regeneration, good at staying far behind the battle (rails) or in a dropships case skirting the edges, taking minimal damage (snipers, militia swarms) and deploying troops behind enemy lines.
Once again though, for anti-infantry armour wins.
I created a 360k armour dropship yesterday, and it lasted 2 games longer (for a whopping total of 3) than my average 1-game lifespan of my shield dropship. (500k)
In the first game, my gunners got 4-5 kills. Second, 15 kills. The last game we managed to get around 6-7 before there was too much AV to survive. Even taking two forge guns and swarms, I lasted long enough to get away and drop my gunners off in safety before dying. |

There is so much dumb in this thread I fear for our species, did someone really say armor is better at AI and shields AV? |

I said armour was better at AI, and I feel it's true. I've only used militia tanks, though, and most of my experience is based on dropships. I don't feel as if the two vehicle are dissimilar beyond comparison, however. |

Sylwester Dziewiecki wrote:Shield tanks are faster 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.
u realise armor loses survivability by equipping dmg mods right? so u lose some survivability equipping an ACTIVE speed mod (there are 2 sets of passive ones, actually might be 3) same as an armor tank trying to fit dmg mods.
This is what happens when all ppl wanna do is stack as many dmg mods as they can fit and forget there are actual other mods Also dunno if u havent caught on but active mods tend to be highslot mods and passive ones low slot so fit a passive speed mod since it was made more for shield tanks
@Slap actually up close the blaster would out dps the rail i believe, circling helped but straight up dmg if the blaster is in optimal range pretty sure it out dmg'd the rail. Currently not the case.
Armor only recently got decent with the addition of hardeners which then showed CCP that the previously added shield hardener time of 10 sec is a joke and needs to be buffed. |

Despite the obviously better defense, I can't stand using armor tanks. Shield tanks have at least double maneuverability (faster top speed and way faster acceleration).
Trading 25% less hp and rep for 50% or more maneuverability is a fine trade to me.
Also, more gank with damage mods.
Only real longing is that armor tanks have a much easier time fitting the better blasters (favorite weapon, of course being fast helps with being able to apply close range damage) |

The stup1dness of this OP has no limits. Shield Tanks are better at AI and MUCH MORE SPEEDY. You say look at stats in game. Are you simply stup1d? Are not you capable of understanding the speed difference of gunloggi and a madrugar that has 6752 ARMOR? Shield gets more survivability against AI. Are your flux grenades magically stick to your tank AND DEALING 2000 DAMAGE AT THE SAME TIME? Are you aware that EX-0 AV nades deal more than 2000 DAMAGE while a 25% HARDNER GOING ON? Are forge guns turning corners while you run away? Does swarms DEAL 130% DAMAGE to your GUNLOGGI? (This means 1500 DAMAGE to armor from MILITIA SWARMS THAT COME FREE.) You cry that you can put nitro to the armor tank but you can STACK 2 DAMAGE MOD on GUNLOGGI tank but you do not see any armor tankers CRYING like you do. |

scrap the pg mod add a damage mod and that's my fit... with field mechanics 5 that comes out to 5,155ish so which skill am i missing? with combat engineering 5 (which i have) the PG mod becomes unnecessary if you're only running advanced guns (i don't have proto yet so i don't know if they'll fit).
so where did you get the extra 1500 armor? |

Actually Armor tanks can eat more armor targeted AV then a shield tank can armor targeted AV. Packed AV grenades actually drop shield tanks faster then you can drop a armor tank with them. So yes armor does have a big advantage over shield on handling AV. When armor targeted AV that is weak against shield ends up killing shield tanks faster then armor tanks something is wrong.
Is armor too strong no. Shields just have been nerfed down to horrible stats. Shields proto rep only repairs around 1750 shields on a cycle. The proto armor puts out 6700 per cycle. Plus armor hardeners last for 60 seconds and are only off for 15 while shields last 10 seconds and is off for 30 seconds. Armor plates give a extra 1200 HP about. Running a armor tank with kb/m allows a player to run at the same speeds as shield tanks.
Armor are way ahead of shield tanks. Problem is Mav you are so milfed about rails that you think shields just need there active hardeners tweaked. Shields need more then that. CCP needs to do a rebalance on modules Also shields need alot better passive regen. A sagaris should be running 100 for passive regen. not the 30 that they give us. Armor is where I think tanks should be standardized around. Why because really they are on lvl with the lvl of AV that is thrown at them. And currently armor tanks are far above shield. A good armor tank can beat a shield tank in a rail battle. I have beat proto rail sagaris with my mad already. |

And then you will lose to armor tanks allday. Hence why shield tanks are just full passive fit and can only **** other tanks.

Armor tanks are not "easy mode" in a good lobby. If you have 1 guy with proto swarms and damage mods he will keep you out of the game himself. Then if you add in the noobs with no gun game going for WPs well it can be hard. But when AV isnt strong yea its easy mode. Armor tanks can take a ton of damage but they can be "popped" if the AV is strong enough. Play a game with blaz and you'll understand lol. Even if the AV is going to kill you its going to make you useless. Then if there's one rail on the other team your useless. So while I will say armor has its advantages at least when there is strong AV against a shield tank you can get distance and do a little bit. But with armor if you can be in close then your out of the game. |

You probably would learn something. And Slap wouldn't hide. If anything, he'd probably try to drive circles around you. Slap's the best, but he doesn't let that go to his head. He'd play, he'd win, and you'd learn a little bit about what you need to do to be a better tanker, with no hard feelings afterwards. |

What on earth is this abomination of a topic? Shield>armor tanking. And ive tried armor tanking with a madrugar on this built (i mainly drive a sagaris) and its just crap. Way to slow, takes much more damage from swarms and AV grenades and the damage output is lower then on shield tanks. Shield tanks can use blaster and railguns effective. And a railgun on a sagaris 2 shots anything in the game. And for railgun fights you put a pure buffer tank on a sagaris with alot of resistance and 3 damage mods. |

only reason i didnt keep droppin them was because tanks dont really win u games on that map and didnt have proto rails at the time was using adv blasters so JW took over cuz he had proto stuff |
