That's not quite accurate; we'd have to test it with the Vayu against the Gunnlogi to get a proper spread of data.

I would just like to point out, while I agree that shield tanks need a buff, that there might be more individual weapon types that deal more damage to shields, but one is far more likely to encounter those that deal bonus damage to armour, simply because of a: AV grenades don't take up a weapon slot b: swarms fit on medium suits and c: plasma cannons are gimped.

CCP, please buff shield modules! With the upcoming pilot suits, armor will now almost permarun it's active hardeners. WTF

I demand 60% resist to the surges and my boosters doing 5000 shield in 5s. That is all

They Need to make passive shield tanking viable so caldari ttankers could stop whining. Then make boosters do ~4k HP in 5 seconds for the Clarity Heavy ones. scale down for other versions. That'll make Winmatar HAV's good too. Really, if you're a Caldari HAV, and you are anywhere near the front lines (although doable), you're just doing it wrong. Caldari are the snipers of New Eden. Use them right, take that Blaster off and put on a Missile or Rail turret and get supporting.


Peace, Aizen

The only thing CCP has done right is giving the (sort of) right idea on what weaknesses and strengths are for armor and shields. But have they implemented them correctly? I think not.

You'd think they were ignoring us completely. >:(

Armoured H.A.V.s are simply a lot better than shield tanks in everything making [shield] tanks useless. CCP needs to balance/fix it. End. Of. Story.

Stop trolling, in other words...

yet the supposed anti shield weapons (rails and forge guns) only have a 20% difference and they aren't half as common.

You can't even rely on flux grenades to take put a shield tank, as they do roughly the same damage to shields as AV grenades do to armour (without the bonus) AND you can't kill a shield tank using flux alone.

Counter all of my points above and I will personally make a request to CCP in written letter, asking that they improve shield tanks.

Any Armor HAV that isn't slower than a shield HAV isn't properly tanked and should be easy pickings, so it's not anybody's fault if you couldn't kill it but yours. And Assault Dropships have the advantage over tanks (if the tank isn't sticking inside the red zone) because it can hover over the tank and avoid all fire.

And if armor tanked rail Somas were so much better than rail Gunnlogi, why is it that every time I call in a Sica and start pounding on an enemy rail Madrugar that they start hiding behind buildings and mountains? Why don't they just sit there with their superior tank, superior damage, and superior speed and finish me off in my poor, useless militia HAV?

I can't speak for your personal experiences but I can speak for mine. Any time I lose my Sica to an HAV it's because it was a blaster tank that caught me up close, or a railgun tank that I couldn't tell where on earth he was.

still...
