Which armour tank would you prefer to fly in if your main role is to survive gatecamps and burning back to gate while getting shredded by X (lets say you wont get insta killed) ammount of people?

Thank you in advance.

I always prefer a more balanced resist profile unless I know what I am going to be fighting so would lean towards the second option even though it has less EHP.

Im assuming the ehp is calculated based on ingame resists, which means that the lowest resist Will decide ehp. So, first option.

Depends. First option has 13% more EHP but it is achieved with plates which means you align slower, you burn back to the back slower. Much slower. So they have more time to shoot you.

Only seeing the shield rep amount - which I presume means full buffer on armour (rather than forgetting to show the armour reps). In which case I would probably run with the first choice and hope they don't have lasers.
The second choice, coupled with an ancillary rep, could be very powerful - but I guess there aren't slots for that...

Ooooh do you have room for a 100mn AB?
I kinda doubt it but if you could fit one of those on there you will be extremely hard to pin down.
The c-type is easier on the fitting and saved my bacon more than a couple of times.

I could but it would seriouslly lower my armour which I dont wish to do. For now my overheated MWD goes 1500 m/s and it will have ot do it to touch gate and jump. But thanks for suggestion, I might try 100MN AB on test server for fun. Big smile
