I'm new to tanking. Regretfully respec'd into shield tanking after having tried armor, and not knowing enough about either.
I have been fiddling around with the fittings for a while and will be the first to admit that I am not a very bright crayon. I mainly have what works for me, but feel like I'm still very much doing it wrong.
This is mainly what I use right now.
Shield booster
2 x 748 Extenders
Accelerator
Heat Sink
High Throughput Field Stab (Faster shots/more damage for blaster)
7% ShieldRegen/PG
Main turret (One step below proto, don't remember it's name, and am at work. ;P)
2 missile turrets to save on PG.
Any advice for fits? Shield and armor alike.
Thank You. :) |

go armor, but if you want to run shields for HAVs, 3 ward shield amps 1 heavy booster 1heavy extender 2 15%pg upgrades and a missile turret(large) for tanking. the most import part of shields really is having a high passive resistance so the 3 ward amps on basically every fit as you don't have speed so going active and fighting with module window just hurts your chances of escaping alive. |

I think the accepted meta right now is one each of boosters, extenders and active hardeners, and two passive hardeners. ( though I armour tank, this is what I hear). I'm guessing that gives you plenty of passive resists, plus a little burst tank in emergencies. |

right now armor is better than shield, so far only closed beta vet tanks can survive matches in shield tanks as far as iv seen and we can turn any battle into a victory |

You really want to stay out of the spotlight with tanks. AV equipment can eat through anything very quickly, even one guy can put a nasty dent and scratch the paint. That being said, use anything you can to get resistance. In any game, resistance>hit points. This is multiplied by healing, as healing is always the same no matter how much health, but resistance basically gives you more bang for your... health. |

My favorite tank, the "Yak" Gunloggi:
80GJ Scattered Blaster
20GJ Scattered Blaster (front, to help with close infantry)
20GJ Compressed Rail gun (top, to help with vehicles)
2x Local Power grid Expansion Units
3x Ward Shield Amplifier
Heavy Shield Extender
Heavy Converse Shield Booster
I may try replacing one resistance amp with a hardener, but shield hardeners suck.
On Shield vs Armor tanks, I love my gunloggi - explosive AV can't touch me. I am screwed by Armor Tanks and Assault Forge Guns though. I consider that a fair trade for being able to wade into crowds without fear of nades or swarms. |

Edit: actually I may consider shield tanks UP just for the fact that we're so limited in fitting options. Not sure how it is with armor tanks, but for any sort of viable fitting we need 2x pg expansions and there's no real point in using shield hardeners. I don't need more power but I want more options and variety.
All tanks are pg starved. |

If that's the case, then we all need some love - I want at least some of that pg back. Kinda whack they took it all vs just lowering it to 2% or 3% instead of 5%.

This is a fit ive been messing with this build . I used to run this in chromosome and it rocked then and still rocks now
Gunlogi.
High slotts heavy azetropic ward shield extender. Heavy converse shield booster. 2 light clarity ward shield boosters and 1 ward shield amplifier.
Low slotts 2 local powergrid upgrades.
Large turret 80gjscattered blaster
Small turrets 2 st1 cycled missile launchers.
This tank is great for anti infantry and will allow you to tank uo to maby 3 to 4 swarmlauncers . Its a good fit for burst tanking when you get the hang of it. |

"RDV Killer" aka "The Bolas Raper"
1x any RG with a 1.8 sec delay. Preferably low power
Low Slots:
2x heat sink (preferably vented)
2x HTFS
1x Heavy Repper (not needed if using MLT - if you prefer a repper with MLT, take off one HTFS)
High Slots (in order from least to most needed):
1x Damage Control Unit (if you have the CPU)
or
1x Active Scanner (if you have the CPU)
or
1x Active Heat Sink (if you have the CPU)
This is a sniper. Works wonderfully against a team of LAV spammers, seeing as you can murder their RDVs as the come in.
You will not put up a good fight against other tanks. Unless you get the first shot, of course (yet they will murder you if they use hardeners). |

wow you guys are so full of yourselfs
granted madruger is better for tank on tank it seems
but im running shield tank since upriseing only, and i can go 10+ matches with a shield tank out, not in the redline and last the whole game, its not impossible, just got to keep on the move and be carefull
i generally run missiles unless it seems theres not much av, then i'll get the blaster out, if i see a maddy, then its rail tank or forge gun time lol
