As title says i looking for average tank needed to clear 3 and 4 without need to warp out. Couldn't find any numbers my self. I plan on using passive Gila .

Gila will have no problems in tanking Serpentis/Guristas/Angel DEDs. For Blood/Sansha just remember about EM hardners.
Hisec sites requite minimal tank really. Just keep moving and you will have no problems here. Gila has no problems in tanking higher level lowsec sites also.

Thats what all tell me. But i like to have numbers. At the moment i have 307 tank with 450 m/s speed. I think its good for high sec , but i don't anything to compare.

It will be fine for high sec, but see my reply in your other thread. Shield Flux Coils are bad.

Ah yes...EFT numbers, they are quite meaningless you know. No one will provide you any sensible numbers for many different reasons ( main reason being - there are no sensible numbers as far as npc tanking goes as it depends on so many variables ).

The easiest way would be to just go there, do those sites and make adjustments on the run ( you can always take additional mods with you and refit. Gila has enormous cargo hold ).

One advice : Passive tanking is sensible in certain scenarios but hisec exploration in a drone boat is not one of them. Of course you can do it but you will sacrifice a lot of your efficiency and competitiveness.

When I first started doing highsec explo I used a cap injected active cyclone in minmatar space vs angels and I think eft numbers were like...300dps tank at the most. It was more than enough for ded 3 (lol) and was fine for ded 4 being careful.
I think I had to overheat in angel vigil ded 5 because I was a nooblar and didn't manage aggro properly but it still worked.

250-300 tank for a being at a complete standstill. If you speed tank then it just becomes a joke and there really is no "number" that you need.

Just go out and test it :)

Dual rep (needs to be stable dual reps) or passive Myrm or passive drake should be fine. Gila, snake, ishtar also more than enough tank. When all else fails just throw a tengu at it.

my tengu has ~30 passive shield regen. i hardly ever need to run my shield booster. does this answer your question?

I should buy an Ishtar.
