here is how you become considered a top tanker in three easy steps.
step 1: build an armor tank with a railgun
step 2: engage in very simple tank fights in which you are either situated on a hill or you simply peek and shoot.
step 3: have a k/d of roughly 5 and lower.

now you look like the self proclaimed top tankers in dust.
I forgot about step 4: while on forums preform oral sex to current top tankers.

You forgot step 5 cry for all AV to be nerfed into uselessness

Things that are wrong:


1) shields on maddy = stupid
2) no heat sink = stupid
3) nanofiber 180's are pointless. drop that, use the poly ****. if it's proto cannon, use 2 pg upgrades, if its standard, use 1 and then use 2 hardeners
4) no hardenener = epic fail


Relearn how to tank and come back when you know something.

Good thing you mentioned murder cakes.

All new tankers should run the ops fit if they want to go broke. Or spend the rest of the match in cover behind the redline.

Would you like to have a duel and find out? Of all you new tankers, I've only met one this entire time that could outsmart me and kill me every single time. The other countless tank scrubs were eaten alive due to stupid mistakes (not counting the ones with bad gear bc that's too easy)

Ya'll think you're so good bc none of you play PC and have not come across the A-list tankers; we are in the best corps for a reason. Want a good tank battle? Fight Ancient Exiles, Outer Heaven, Internal Error, Red Star, or Team Players....or Murder Cakes of Doom. You will find all the best tankers in one of those corps...except a few randoms in Cronos (Adri Gac, Jason Pearson)

To the OP: Your fit sucks and if you understood why, I would respect you at least a little bit because you have not taken your tank to Excel and found out exactly how effective it is- if you did, you wouldn't use it.

I believe I'm the tanker you're looking for, considering you sent me a love letter were you stated "10/10. Outstanding." then going on to call me a "land shark tear drinker." and asked to pay for my tank?

I laughed a lil, not going to lie. Never in my life had I been called a "land shark tear drinker." Kinda made my day

I am a casual player with only 7 million sp. I can't afford to spec into higher mods. I use what I have. All you guys that were spoonfed information from big corps wonder why scrubs and bluedots suck. Its because they are told what is right and aren't allowed to do anything that they want. Also, people instead of trying to help others try to put them down in saying you suck. Tankers are almost always redliners. I wanted to be different. People like to destroy anything that they can't get a grasp on. They think new is bad. I will edit my tank fit with the information that I have collected and create a better fit. Thank you guy for positive and negative feedback.

Good tips for new tankers. Wish more people had this kind of common sense.

That is such a bad tank fit, you would get instantly killed by any proper fitted tank


Tip #2: Be careful who you kill - Wrong, kill everyone you see if you can, if they have AV kill them quick or gtfo

Tip #3: Use cover and know when to retreat - Cover lol, OPswarms ignore that since they consistantly follow you around cover and ignore it altogether

Name a tanker that has ever taken me one on one and beat me other than Hotch in Chromosome- can't be done....except for one random guy a month ago and props to him. Don't know why he isn't in a better corp.

I follow the good infantry. It's that simple...Earl did the same.

After reading this thread and enjoing my popcorn (any one elses want some) all I can say is the op has some good tips but their fit is diabolical and will melt as soon as any tanker or av sees them. No one in their right mind hybrid tanks for good reasons.

1 galente are armour tank specilists

2 caldari are shield tankers.

3 its a stupod idea to put shield booster on a maddy as it would be stupid to put armour reps on a gunlogi.

All I can say now is if you want sone real advice see voidechos guide as it is endorsed by many of us vet tankers.

I do not agree with you on #2, only speaking from my view as infantry. I will respawn in my AV suits if I am shot down by tanks, I am no very good at AV, but others are much better. And running in a cheap tank with low resistance I agree that it is better to keep a low profile and acknowledge that some players could spawn with proto AV that would destroy my cheap tank in no time. Better to let them live with their AR suits than riscing them respawning with proto AV.

No, I was crewing with you last night, around 2:30 eastern. You were the dude who was playing Godzilla with the swarm launchers. And I did drop a million in your account, because it was a ****-ing wild ride! Still can't believe those peons eventually got you, because you were starting to look indestructible.

No, The outer Haven guy was someone I went against in my own tank. My poor tank. It was learning experience, I guess? I learned how much I hate getting blown up by other tanks?

O'Dell vs my compressed particle cannon...

O'Dell= 3 shot pile of ashes in 5 seconds
