This one is for shield tanks who don't get enough from their shield boosters.

Charybdis
Light shield booster
Light shield transporter
2 shield amplifiers
2 local PG systems
Cycled missile turret

It can heal around 2200 HP with a 15 seconds cooldown. Which should help the tank to survive more. The PG systems give it around 2400 HP. Enough to survive any AV while running people over like a scrub.

Fixed

Actually I got bored from doing that so I switched to helping the tank bros.

Hold on, do some of you restrict yourself from certain vehicles?

I have every caldari vehicle unlocked, sans scout lav.

I use tanks an lavs often, dropships less so because no wp.

I love it when they repair/re boost my sica! It nearly doubles my time on field engaging.

I restrict myself from using the LAVs and the dropships... hence pure tanker

Do you actually play in-game?

I love it when they repair/re boost my sica! It nearly doubles my time on field engaging. Shields take forever to creep back after getting nailed ><.

Can you work on convincing CCP to give us WP for repairing shields/armor from vehicle to vehicle? If there was this kind of incentive there would be less murder taxis. I say 70 WP per pulse would be nice.

-XOXO

But why? It's like 100k sp or something to unlock every vehicle and open up more possibilities. I couldn't imagine still being around if I didn't get to murder ship in chromosome or murder taxi in uprising. Breaks the tedium.

I would like to see Orbital Strikes removed from WPs entirely first. Because that would open up quite a few more possibilities in getting WP from many sources instead of being OB conscious on CCPs design decisions.

Increase WP requirement for OBs by 100%? I mean if you remove WP for OBs...what else should be able to unlock one? Not like we should be able to throw one without some kind of combat effort. Right now some squads can get 2 OBs per match if they're decent enough. Also, less people in squad means more effort needed to unlock OB. Make it 4 people squads again. Plzzzzzz

we aren't bros, tankers hate LAVs almost as much as the infantry does, we have good reasons too......

Yes I still have about 23 sicas left from one of the packs I bought when they first came out.

BareKnuckle Sica Fit

2x PDUs
2x Shield Extenders
1x Large Shield Booster
1x Large Cycle Missile Launcher
1x Nose Compressed Railgun
1x Topside Cycled Missile Launcher

Eats about 2-3 Swarms and about 2 -3 forge shots and once it gets going its decent fast enough to run over bad LAV drivers. I would shove an extender but that lowers my hits to death by one due to the fact the alpha strike goes in unresisted and based on expert pilots say the resistances only apply to the base shields not extended amounts. Its mostly an infantry suppressor and anti-soma. Doesn't do too well against other shield tankers. Or military grade fit vehicles but most of the time I lose one of these about once every 2-3 matches while supporting infantry when possible. I rarely have to recall sicas I deploy but it does happen. Maps which are a nightmare for me would skim junction with comms installed in the center, there is like no effing place to hide.

Nose rail is to discourage gunners shooting at infantry and more at other vehicles.
Top Launcher is for self defense.

Hmm... I kinda want to play against you sometime

Well its the most survivable militia fit I could slap together. I have a railgun fit but that thing like only eats 2 shots from anything before dying. My Soma fit is anti-LLAV and brawler fit but does decent against other militia tanks. While I can't tank dance that well in this game (where as using a lightning in ps2 was my thing) My HAV command is still lvl 0 so I have to deal with lack of skill levels and survive the hard way. I don't get amazing amount of kills as an HAV pilot but 4-5 is about average and annoying the ever loving hell out of hostile AV seems to be my best goal. However if you really want to end me quick an assault forge with good window will end me real quick.

My LAV fits are better balanced but mostly for transport/decoy or ramming other LAVs.

Dropships... it hurts to talk about it.

here he goes, trying to talk for everyone again "yawn"

I casn assure you, tankers that get repped by my llav have no issues

Just about everyone i've repped have even gone as far to send "ty" mail lol

I thought Void posted a big thread about how he was leaving?

No?

I know I like being repped by LLAVs.

Or anything, really. Not picky.

we aren't bros, tankers hate LAVs almost as much as the infantry does, we have good reasons too......

Sorry void, have to disagree with you here, as having an real functioning LLAV can be a great asset to a tanker who has to do something risky. Their high mobility means they can bring a couple of infantry to push off tenacious AV teams, properly fitted they can help armor or shield tanks increase their effectiveness, and their road killing capability means they can smear those who might try to hide from my railgun.

Also, if equipped with a good blaster they also function very well in an anti-LAV role, targeting drivers and such.

If the driver of the LAV and the HAV can work together well, the LAV can be very tough to target, and the extra strength the HAV gets can be the difference in a fight. Also, if it is a Charybdis, it can even roll in front to eat a set of swarms if need be.

Sadly, because there are zero points given out for repping vehicles, most LLAV drivers will not use this potent role to its fullest, because it does not yield results.

Even guardian assists would make this combo a more consistent battlefield presence.

I remember when vehicle shield tanking was considered superior, just like with infantry.
Don't remember what happened.

Codex build, all you ever saw were swarms of shield HAVs with missiles. I know for sure missiles got nerfed.
Next build, it was all armor HAVs with hybrid turrets.
