I have some Tank questions there:
1. How is it with tanks?Are you getting more ISK than you give out for a Tank?
2. How should you play them?
3. I-Šve read some Tank builds but still can-Št decide, Armour or Shield, what should i choose?Armor does have more HP but is weak against swarms and AV grenades, but Shields do have less HP..
4. Which big turret fits for a Tank?A Blaster or a Railgun?
5. What Skills should i skill for Tanks?
1. You won't cover the cost of a tank in one battle, however you can make them survive multiple battles if you play them right. I still make money when using Gunnlogi's.
2. Very carefully. Armor tanks tend to work better against other tanks, and shield tanks work better for infantry support. Don't be stupid and sit in the middle of an open field, guns blaring, and scream "LOL I R AM AN IS A TO BE LOLTANK JOO KANT TUTCH ME I IR IS THE INVINCIBLE!". These guys are asbsolute idiots. Use cover, stay near infantry (you scratch their back, they scratch yours), and always leave room for an escape route.
3. I personally use shields. The explosive resistance coupled with 3x the shield regen of armor tanks lets me shrug off swarms and take a good amount of AV nades before I have to go clamoring back. I do lose 1v1's to armor tanks if I don't get the drop on them though. Those things burst tank like crazy.
4. Blasters for close range brawling / wiping out infantry, rails for long range installation / vehicle destruction.
5. Definetly get core skills and some large / small turret skills (I like the small blasters. Missiles have no explosion radius, and small rails are extremely niche). After that, pour everything else you have into survivability (and if you choose armor, maybe some weapon upgrades).
EDIT: We only have access to standard tanks currently. We're up against prototype AV weapons. The game will feel like the AV is OP. It's really not, we just don't have their level of equipment yet. |

Tbh, there is no "Best" combination. There's "Great for the situation I have in mind" fits though. That one would fit the role of a close-in anti infantry / brawler.
Experiment with the militia tanks before investing too much SP one way or the other. Forgot to mention that, and it's probably the most important thing to do. Decide if you like armor or shield better, then skill into it. |
