No.

Armour and Shield tanking are different and more or less balanced. What you are asking for would make armor tanks ridiculously over the top. No.

no, they are far from balanced.

problem is the fleet compositions, which have bubblers and tacklers, and this more or less eliminates armor tanking ships with some spare mids (gallente) from current doctrines. gallente ships just don't fit to fly in a blob. don't say that's balanced, because 3 other races have their doctrines.

2 questions for you:
1) There are some other very potent uses for mid slots beyond straight-up tackling, can you tell me what some of those might be?
2) "because 3 other races have their doctrines" - What fleet doctrines do the squids have besides "fly a Drake"?

When BCU's are changed to be middle slots then AT and Shield tanking will be balanced.

For now we have situation in the game when Shield tank (ST) is better in general than Armor tank (AT)

Right now, we have a situation which is pretty much exactly the same one as when armour tanks were GÇ£betterGÇ¥ than shield tanks (and they were GÇ£betterGÇ¥ back then in the same way that shields are GÇ£betterGÇ¥ now). All that has changed is the doctrines, and it will swing back towards armour again before long.

Wait, are shield-caps back?

caps are different :because of slaves:

Have no idea what doctrines you talking about guys :)
But according to the statistics ST tanked ships are more often croses the gates then AT ships.
I have experience mission "Evolution" on Palladin and i saw like my friend deals with it using Machariel. Shields restores much faster, and Macahariel had no risk at all, mean time i've rewarped using the Paladin, because his armor can not withstand for a long time against fire of over 20 rogue drones different ships. We both fitted in high meta levels.
I am talking about small tuning, not revolution.
Hardly all my points will bring huge advance to the AT, especially that list is not solid, i am clearly understands that everything there can not be implemented. It would great if CCP will do something (even non included in my list) AT is much worse then ST for PvE at least.
More bonus points to armor compensation skills. Is this so strange? Armor is more "hard" thing.
More meta levels to the allready existing modules? What's wrong with this?
Improovement of compleetly useless group of modules, again, what's wrong with it?
and so on.

And i want to ask those, who oposes AT baff, what ships you operate? Harly it will be AT ships

You're having trouble with L4s in a Marauder? That's bad and you should feel bad.

Well, that mission is one of the deadliest if you will shoot down trigger in second pocket.
Also 6th pocket of Angel Extravaganza in case if i want standart (for all other missions at least) number of heat sinks - 4. Angels are not best NPCs to Amarr players and amount of damage done by my ship is more important in comparison with anti Sansha missions for example. So, i removeone heat sink to replace it with additional energised plating

Both tanks must have clear roles, positive and negative aspects. There must not be universal options (we have this situation for now). CCP must chek one more this matter and rework entire system of penalties and bonuses and modules.

Armor is just fine.

If really armor tanking would be that awesome why does not fleet doctrines use 1K dps Brutix instead of 400'ish dps Drakes?
Armagedons, Apocs (Pulse apoc is deadly) Hyperions and Megathrons (/toss)

When it comes to use ships with bonus to armor resists? yes, significantly increases reps efficiency but that you already know it.

Armor is just not that fine, riggs and plates penalty are far more penalising than signature bloom in ships mostly using MWD's for pvp (sign radius is not a problem apparently ^^).
Permanent MWD Drake 1200m/s and capital sign radius is the first example but cookie cutter shield cane is another and on the other side of the rope you've got stand still Abbadon and Rokh ducks with a hell of a buffer resist/profile and shortest range weapon spewing stuff "over there"
Take away that +resist on Abbadons and lets see how many we will see around.

PVP is about get the best tool for "x" job, ST ships are generally better on subcap fleets (cap we can debate about slaves or Chimaera no tank cap stable or with tank and no cap after a few reps), caps and supers should just be removed from the game anyway or get bigger ship hangars to just move ships around

My male part are already giggling about 2KVindicators raping everything in the system including planets with lost bullets.

Yes, i am talking about PvE mainly and can't agree about this game created for PvP players, meantime others must stay aside. Sorry, dut there are no such postulates in the rules :) I am glad that you are agree with me about this part of the game. It was my mistake that i have not indecated more clearly that i am speaking about PvE mainly and have no big PvP experience.

Still i hope that CCP will make few (i repeat, noone needs revolutions, CCP allready done one really big mistake in the past) improovements and changes to the tank system.

in my opinion the two new modules are completely backwards. They both make so much more sense and seem like they'd be more logical if flipped. Armor rep is the one that needed the cap booster using repair and shields being the passive long drawn out defense should have the slowly adjusting Resistance mod.

I won't pretend to be an eve genius since I'm almost a noob being a returning player but shield tanking is definitely better than armor tanking currently. That's why the advice even on supposed armor focused ships is to fit shields on. It's suggested that it's better to squeeze a single LSE and one resist mod to an amarr or gallente ship rather than bother with armor tanking it with all those lows. Doesn't that show that something is wrong with armor tanking?

There are many more options and more skills for shield tanking. A passive shield tank can regen faster than an active armor tank in some cases without requiring any cap use.

I'm not too familiar with drake fleets but aren't these used over ships like the brutix due to superior dmg projection ?

all good pvp ships are armor archon, bhaal, loki, proteus
