To deal with a problem, you first have to turn it into math. So, give your tank's stats, and tell us why it's UP/OP/fine. Final thoughts (what little I have) will be at the bottom.
Someone rather aptly described armor tanks as a brick that's meant to sit next to a problem and solve it. In Chromosome build, at least.
Here's what I run with on Caesar Gallenteas, my Madrugar fit:
Low:
180mm Reinforced Nanofibre Plates
Carapace Armor Hardener
Carapace Armor Hardener
Carapace Armor Hardener
Heavy IG-L Polarized Armor Regenerator
High:
F45 Peripheral Damage Control Unit
Turrets:
80GJ Compressed Railgun
20GJ Compressed Railgun
20GJ Compressed Railgun
Now, here are my (relevant) skills:
Vehicle Armor Upgrades III (1.15% Armor)
Vehicle Core Upgrades V (1.05% PG/CPU)
Vehicle Electronics II (1.1% CPU)
Armor Adaptation V
Vehicle Armor Plating II
This pushes me into the 5400 or so armor range.
Having activated these modules one step at a time gives me this much EHP:
Hardener 1: 6750 (duration 60 / cooldown 15s)
Hardener 2: 8100 (duration 60 / cooldown 15s)
Hardener 3: 9450 (duration 60 / cooldown 15s)
DC Unit: 9990 (duration 30 / cooldown 30s)
Of course the repper adds a lot of survivability on top of that. According to the description, it should heal 342 health per pulse and only have 5 pulses, but it feels like a lot more than that.
I used to be able to fit a blaster turret onto this, but I can't anymore, because it gobbles up the PG that I don't have. And when I say "a blaster turret," I mean literally, any blaster turret at all. Even the small blaster turrets take up too much PG. I'd like to list the exact PG that's currently left, but I can safely say that it's only in the few dozens. Not enough. |

But seriously, no. I want math, not "damn it, we need more PG!" |

Also stop to pick up a passenger or two to man those extra guns and jump out to handle anyone thats gets close and inside your turrets turn radius
Two simple suggestions that will greatly increase a tanks survivability and usefulness
Infantry suggestion, yes. I try to make sure I have someone I trust in Caesar when he's on the field. Those two extra turrets, though? Rails are completely useless against all enemies except the ones that are standing still. |

I'm not a spy. I'm an annoying liberal who cries for freedom of information when everyone who has a stake in the matter just sits there and glares at me. |
