My fit if you must know
Soma -

H - CRU

T - Prototype missle turret

Why a soma, because its pub matches and i simply dont need to drop a falcon

Man, that is a crappy fit.

I have nothing to contribute other than shield reps kick in as soon as you turn them on, rather than armor reps that take a 3 sec cycle before you get your first rep. That's pretty neat. But yeah, current balance, shield tanks are trash.

I don't know about the claims that armor reps heal once per sec for 3 secs, that doesn't seem right at all, but I haven't watched the numbers with a stopwatch lately. My inclination is to believe someone is pulling that out of their butt.

I'm all for the reps being something new they broke this build, I'm just going off of how they used to work in the past. I haven't paid much attention to their cycles in Uprising, I just kick it on and either live or die, I have more important things to do than watch numbers while I need my rep on usually. Will have to pay attention next time.

And if you did Read.......you did not Comprehend, and/or you are utterly rubbish @ Math & throw caution to the wind screaming "F**K LOGIC!!!!!". Please leave the premises, door is thataway, there may be Cake & Punch on the other side :P I only tank, literally all my sp is in tanks and i cant read a word of that wall, minimelest text please i dont have all day. I was simply stating how tanks are fine if you play to there strengths One thing people fail to realise is your basing all this off generic T1 tanks, the strengths mainly come from specialised tanks like marauders and enforcers. Changes to shields would greatly effect the strength of the 2 enforcers mainly due to (wait for it) the RANGE the shield tank has over the armor tank. Dont forget specilised tanks in your 'calculations' Tank speed, its really simple. Armor plates lower the speed of the armor tank. If you dont have armor plates then your doing it wrong. Shield tanks also have there lows for passive speed mods which you can use to help get a greater advantage over armor tanks. Dont just look at the base speed and say 'this is faster' EDIT- Forgot to mention acceleration which also plays a great factor in tanks moving in the battlefield. Plasma cannon is hybrid, same as the forge gun Armor - Swarm, AV nade Shield - Flux Both - Forge, Plasma My final point is Its all fine the way it is. Your just not educated well enough in there mechanics.

Thats hardly the fault of the tank its the fitting. Nothing stopping a shield tank using it. ladwar wrote: armor plate does not reduce speed its reduce acceleration which armor tanks have more to start with and after adding a plate they still have more then shield HAVs so armor are still faster. Perhaps with a light plate. With a heavy plate i get less acceleration than the shield. a 25% reduction in acceleration is a huge amount. You also rarly drive at full speed, Its mainly all in the acceleration to make fast moves to avoid the damage. The mass of the plate also makes you turn slower at speed.

Hi, I'm Ninjanomyx, Tester since Replication & IMP. Nice to meet you Mr. Noobody :P Now that the formalities are out of the way.....: On the internet nobody knows your a dog. 1. A person who only ever uses tanks has no place in a discussion about tanks being over powerd compared with each other? who should we ask, scout suit users? 2. Its been invalidated because of players complaining last buid at how slow armor tanks where, some 1 has to stand up for tanks and non of the 'vets' are 3 Maurauders have been temp removed for a rework, they are still apart of this game. Enforcers are high dps sniper tanks they are not trash when used to there advantage. People who cant see this advantage are the ones calling them trash. If i need to say why they have less stats (they have the same CPU pg anyway) then you simply have never ever in your life played eve and known the stats for a sniper ship over a short ranged brawler. 4 Then is this all the fault of shield tanks being horrible over armor. Or the fault of the railgun having to much ability over other weapon systems. 5 How does the keyboard change how fast the tank accelerates thats just not true. and you arnt forced to fit anything, its un inmaginative thinking that leads to that Ninjanomyx wrote: You are just horrible @ DUST Gameplay, Balancing, & Forum PvP.

Crappy fit, id like to see you fit a better dps/tank balance That 'crappy' soma has taken multiple laser strikes and delt with more av infantry than i care to count. And its still yet to be killed.
