drop the extender and you will have enough and you can have 2 damage mods

Don't use heavy shield extenders is my advice

Welcome to the pain of trying to fit together a tank with the PG decrease that was pushed onto tanks. It was done to make tanks have to focus builds and make tanks have to choose between armor or damage due to people running BA tanks into pub matches. They were nerfed to make it easier on lower level players without realizing that doing so was going to make it easy points for anyone who spec'ed even remotely into AV. Tanks are now slow moving glass cannons with giant targets on them.

I suggest you stick with armor over damage and play very carefully and you might not lose your tank...... might......

Your primary problem is that you're fitting a shield tank to be a brawler tank.

its not a joke, really its not. the only way to have a firepower shield HAV is to have light extender heavy booster and 2 damage mods and play blitz style and never ever even dream about stop moving unless undercover in the redzone and this is the way you have to go if go with blasters, missiles can fit the HP but it doesn't help much as missiles are dirt poor on infantry. shield HAVs are not meant to tank any amount of damage over any length of time ever period the end, if you want a tank that has any chance of tanking you must go armor HAVs.

I forgot how much the extender gives right on top of my head but it only gives 1 1/2 shot of a proto swarm at best or 90% of one shot from a forge gun so go back to this statement

shield HAVs are not meant to tank any amount of damage over any length of time ever

and let that ring though if you play your shield HAV because it is completely true.

you should be able to fit a higher level turret with some skill into vehicle upgrades? give 1% to cpu and pg giving 1895 pg at max, I use 3 ward resistance mods but it up to the driver/fitter and have the 2 damage mods. the ability to recover and tank has always been with armor HAVs and with uprising the damage dishing has been overtuned which was shield HAVs main defense with speed right after it so a double nerf on shields.

tank fights are actually good now.......well armor vs armor at least

pretty much.. I with you on this, I just given up that CCP will put shields back into balance with armor that they broke with uprising. limiting choice does not open variety which was the goal of the PG and speed nerf, well sooner or later they will figure that out, most likely after PS4 comes out and last players drop out.

Poor exmaple, I remember you raping as a heavy, I remember you raping with core locus and a shotty, and I remember you and me both stuck with our sucky respec decisions. So sad. :( Unleash this man!!! Give him back his raping tools!

They work fine for me... I have a damage mod on my pub gunnilogi fit witha Adv blaster

Just drop the small extender use 2 light clarity 2 15% resist and a heavy extender (might have to use Supp)

Thats how they made tanks now... lose hp for damage or other way around

Edit: i believe i have 1 10% damage mod and a passive heatsink in my low slots not sure if im confusing it with a second fit of mine

Ha. Let's fix sha running around with core godlock pistols blowing my uplinks and the 2 guys that just spawned in and 2 shotting me from the stairs at alpha on the rings map. Maybe nerf the caldari logi a bit, nerf murder taxi's (especially free lav's), make lasers and plasma cannons relevant (again), and maybe even nerf forge guns just a teeny bit so they are used more for av and not sniping, make dropship piloting viable and then we'll talk about tanks. Just save up 8 mill yo. you invested what 15 mill in tanks? Hopefully you didn't waste anymore and you'll be back to reasonable levels of slaying by 23 mill sp.

Edit: I need your feedback in This little thread of mine.. Please go and make it shine? <3
