What I can remember reading about armor tanking is that folk use 2 named MEDIUM armor repairers. Maybe that does the trick for you?

A few folks have mentioned you can be effective with 1 large armour repairer, if you are smart with its use.
Have you tried only 1 large repairer, against a corp mate? Have you tried 2 named mediums, and tried to compare the differences?
If you are having cap issues, try fitting a Heavy Capacitor Booster in a medium slot, loaded with 800 cap booster charges or something.

Yeah, you'll absolutely need a cap booster with 800ish charges and/or 3 to 4 cap rechargers (equal to CPRs) in the medium slots (after the next patch they have >18% recharge rate bonus).

The typhoon calls not only for modules but also for decent skills in engineering, electronics and gunnery.

*the grid supplied by these lows effects u to run 4 x 1400*
MID: 4 x cap 2
LOW: 2 x large repairer, 3 x hardener, 2 x relays
... thats a simple setup, contact ingame for further info.
needed skills:
engin/elec @ 5
wep upgrades @ 4+
energy grid upgrades @ 4+
all cap related skills @ 4+
btw: You may even want to look into named 1200s..... I've have not even shot a 1200 in the last 6 months :s So I forget exactly how bad they are.

You could get a lot more milage out of 1xlarge and 1xmed armor repairer... hard to have a good armor tank setup and use 1400's at the same time on a typhoon though.
You could also try squeezing a cap booster onto your ship. They use an annoying amount of powergrid, especially on the typhoon, but I thuink you could probably find an armor tank missile boat setup that would work pretty well, and cap booster 400 or 800s can bail you out in a pinch.

Don't use cap power relays, ANY of them. (any armor tanking ship using relays is doing something wrong)

I heavily disagree, if you have the free low slot, why not free up a mid slot? You can't have pure cap recharger 2's on your mid slots, you need an mwd, warp scrambler, cap booster, etc.

Give me one valid reason to backup your uninformed statement.

if u want any half-decent armor tank, considering you will also want to do a bit of damage, u'll need 1-2 RCUs, +5 armor slots. meds on a typhoon are easier to sacrifice then lows, and cap booster is better anyways...
