After reading the QQ threads here about how a tank spidertanking another tank simply doesn't work, my merry group of gents and I decided to try it out. End game results, 23/0 blaster tank almost 3k points, rep tank also squad leader 5/0 744 points. No wp gained from repping the other tank, low wp on my end. I have minimum skills invested in tanks, and was able to rep fairly effectively.
Points of interest :
1. Shield transporter still bulky and hard to use
2. Setting defend/attack orders while in vehicle extremely buggy, removes reticule, targetting block
3. LOS and range of shield reps very short hard to maintain
4. Shield transporter fit takes a ton of PG, end result minimum skilled rep tank only has 3k shields
Summary
It works, but the mechanics are extremely faulty at times, requires time and patience to get it to work right. Squad leader should not be rolling the rep tank xD But it was one of the most fun games I've ran. We're about to try it again lets see if this works. Oh and the hostiles targetted the rep tank almost non stop, making for small annoyances, the blaster tank had to stay between our LOS in order to soak up damage. |

Oh and does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone tried this before, found something that works fairly well? We're trying to optimize it, we tried the Logi LAV, but it's buggy as hell so I got annoyed and decided to try the tank instead :P |

I'm using a Gunloggi with a Missile turret, simply because I like the missile turrets, two scattered, mobile CRU a shield extender normal a resist amp and a shield recharger, with the heavy meta shield transporter CPU and PG enhancer in the lows. Debating taking off the MCRU since it doesn't give points for spawns any more. And the team wasn't utilizing it properly, they wouldn't get out and take the objectives just spawned into the turrets and basically afk'd there.
And the main problem with squad leading from tanks seems to be the icons wont stick on friendlies, and it just keeps the attack/defend symbol on your screen. You have to get out of the tank to do it, and risk a teammate stealing said tank. |
