Armour or Shield? Passive or Active?

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

With friends.

Typically the way I've seen them flown is nano+buffer tanked with Scimis for RR.

Ideally, yes. Though we rarely fly under ideal conditions.

With arty tornados you should put enough tank on them to not get one-shot by a single other artynado. And LSE and an Invuln is enough.

Autocannon tornados usually have 2x LSEs, an invuln, and three shield rigs for tank.

Dude youre talking about regenerating tank which isnt happening, if anything you buffer it and hope to survive or have logistics in fleet.

Needs a 1% CPU implant; you could use a meta 4 LSE, or switch to 2 invulns/1 LSE, depending on your fleet composition.

Tanking in a Tornado is quite easy, OFFENSE IS THE BEST DEFENSE.

That is all there is to it.

In smaller gangs an AC tornado typically has 2 lse, and invuln and shield rigs. Arty ones will typically have 1 lse, 1 invuln .

You run down into the basement or storm shelter when the Tornado approaches. That is how you tank one successfully :)

Honour tanking a tornado is just asking to get one-shot by another tornado

Seriously is a third sebo really that much better than an LSE?

Shoot your target and hope it dies before it gets into their weapon range.
