I love my Shield Tank, I love fighting with it constantly and I love the tank fights I get, it was great when everyone else was using Shield Tanks, I felt I was needed in a Corp Battle to compete.

The last 10-15 corp battles, I've been decimated by Armor Tanks, and it's not because I need to "lern2tank" or anything idiotic, it's simply because Armor Tanking is a **** load better than Shield Tanking, it's not even funny anymore CCP, don't give me "Wait a year because we'll have features that make each one more viable in different situations", No. You released the game from BETA, you can't tell me that this half ass balance is because features aren't in, they need to be balanced.

It's disappointing being a tanker, being a corp battle as an Anti Tank vehicle, only to say "Sorry guys, it's an armor tank, I can't do anything" and then have to back off and bring out a Forge and chase it around the map. If the Armor Tanker matches me in Skill, he will win, if he's "decent" it'll be 50/50 and if he's ****, theres still a possibility he'll win.

CCP, you have all these teams, maybe you need to get MORE teams to balance stuff, or you know, the Vehicle team can actually tell us what they're planning on doing about the issues, CCP Blam! give us a response, seriously.

Shield tanks have a passive+20% reduction to Anything explosion. QQ your fine. Only thing I think shield tanks needs is longer hardeners. Shield tanks are not meant to have blasters. Caldari is missile's and shields. Stick to that role. I say that because its Caldari HAV if you didn't know Big smile

Stop Posting, seriously, it's quite obvious that the majority of players posting in this thread don't use tanks and if they do, they're atrocious at it.

Missiles do not work, Armor Tanks have better reps and longer hardeners, and they have more eHP.

The only time my missile gunlogi or falchion takes down any armoir tank is either iv got the drop ob them between their rep cycle or they are a less experienced pilot. Shields need a buff to stand any chance against armour tanks. Iv ran my maddy with a scatterd neutron blaster and riped appart falchion and gunlogis whilst under constent fire and they barely get through my armour before my reps kick in and when they do im nearly invincible. I have only skilled all the armour skills to 3 thus far but run fully maxed falchions and gunlogis . From both points of veiw shields need a buff.
