I don't think it's possible for something who can't have both good resists, good cap recharge and access to large repairers/boosters to tank the damage a sentry can dish out, much less 2 or 3 of them.
Yesterday I saw a Rupture die to 2 sentry guns in like 4 seconds. A tanked setup would last maybe 8, not even enoug htime to use a shiled booster more than once.
Sorry, but your caracal will not serve you to gank people

8 seconds may be enough in a caracal with a good pilot.......

8 seconds is often less than what it takes to align a cruiser to warp.
If you're sentry tanking to pirate you should find out how to yourself.

Try fiddling around with a Moa. It was a good shield ship even before the new bonuses for cruisers arrived.

Armor tanked Maller might be the best bet though. Large armor (for a cruiser) and six low slots. Enough to fit 4 hardeners and 2 repairers, or a mix a 1600mm into the mess. Sure it wonŠt work though.

What exactly are you going to kill in 8 seconds with 1 Caracal? A frig? Even though that will warp\jump before your missiles hit. A cruiser? You won't kill one in 1 volley. You may as well just self-destruct if you're going to try and tank sentries in a cruiser..

I tried gate camping with a Caracal outside sentry range once. The fun of that fat indy appearing at the gate was spoiled at the revelation that sentries shoot missiles.
My tip: Don't use a Caracal to try and camp guarded gates.

u need good resistances to all damage types.
I would use either:
Blackbird:
high: whatever
med: L shield booster, 3x hardner, 1x L shield extender, 1x 20k scrambler
low: 2x pdu
Maller:
high: whatever
med: 2x cap rechargers, 1x 20k scrambler
low: 2xmedium tech2 armour rep, 3x hardner, 1x 1600mm plate
Both should give u enough time to pop an indy and run - make sure u align for warp straight away.

If you plan on staying long enough to make use of the warpscrambler - you're dead.

If you are not planning on hanging around a Moa with a Large T2 Shield Booster and Amp gives a lovely boost but your cap is going to go pretty damn quickly.

My pet MOA has 4000 shield hitpoints and a tech 2 medium shield booster. It has enuff firepower and defenses to destroy blasterraxs and some noobie battleships no sweat. Doubt it would last vs. sentry guns... that is where whitts come in m8. Trick them into shooting first and let the sentries do all the work for you.
