I don't understand why people do this, unless his entire post is satirical and I've entirely missed the joke. Armageddon, eight lowslots. Amarr, armor tank. Math, too hard. Apocalypse, cap bonus. Armor reppers, use cap. Logic, too hard. |

Look at the bonuses of each of Amarr's battleships perhaps? |

Being a noob isn't a problem. Being an idiot is.
First off, PvE or PvP? You said tackle, so I'm assuming this is PvP. Small Gang? Clarifying this helps tons, and will reduce the amount of insults you get.
However, what PvP role requires solely tanking? If you're doing lots of frigs with your friends, and you're running the sole battleship, having high Dps would probably help more. All the Amarr BS's can tank fairly well, with the Abbaddon standing out with resist boni. However, it's also the most expensive. |

IF you ask that kind of questions, you should stay out of a BS for now, or you'll lose it fast. Get more experience in a cruiser first. |

Abaddon is the best tanking ship of the amarr BS lineup, followed by Armageddon and Apocalypse.
- Abaddon - 8/4/7 layout, 5% armor resist bonus (stackable, non-penalized with armor mods), easiest to fit of them all; has blackhole of a capacitor if you're using weapons as well (no cap use bonus for guns); also the most pricey of them all;
- Armageddon - 8/3/8 layout. Additional lowslot makes it possible to fit additional tanking mod, be it repper, hardener, membrane or a damage control. Very hard to fit properly, both cpu and powergrid-wise; cheapest of them all;
- Apocalypse - 8/4/7 layout. Very large capacitor, fits decently, but does not receive any additional tanking bonuses.
If price is not the problem, might want to take a look at the navy variations as well, they sport more hitpoints, are slightly easier to fit and both come with additional slot (8/4/8 layout).
Also, depending on a situation there may be better ships for tanking than the battleship. Ah, you seek meaning?-áThen listen to the music, not the song. |

The Abaddon is the best Amarr tanking Battleship, due to it's expense and capacitor problems the Apocalypse would be better to start off with.

Without going into too much detail:
The Abaddon is a huge tanker with cap problems (use 1400's )
The Apoc is a glass hammer.
The Geddon is a close up PvP face-melter.
Their roles can be "blurred" but there's not much point. |
