Tanks

[jassinlive]

Hey guys looking at doing up a Heavy Tank (the Vanguard) but I had a few questions first.

- Can I apply all of the top, side and front armor on at the same time?
- Same goes for the mineguard, can it be equipped with the other armor upgrades?
- How effective is the AP cannon upgrade against tanks, sunderers, aircraft and sentrys? (all vanilla and upgraded)

Cheers

Nope, they all occupy the same slot (defense), you can only have one equipped at a time.

- Same goes for the mineguard, can it be equipped with the other armor upgrades?

Same goes for the mineguard, it occupies the defense slot so can't be equipped along with any other armour upgrades.

- How effective is the AP cannon upgrade against tanks, sunderers, aircraft and sentrys? (all vanilla and upgraded)

Really good, especially if you hit them in the butt. For aircraft, you can one shot ESFs with HEAT rounds the majority of the time, so if you can hit them with an AP round, they're toast no matter what. If you can hit libs, they go down in a few shots (and they're easier to hit too, since they're huge).

By sentries, do you mean the immobile turrets on bases? If so, those are pretty crap anyway, so with AP they're basically a non-entity.

The thing to remember with AP is you're basically giving up most of your anti-infantry ability (direct hits will still instakill someone, but you have to actually hit them since there's very little to no splash) to be epic at destroying vehicles. If you're still worried about infantry, i'd say get the anti-infantry gun for the top (the Kobalt) and get a second person to man it for you, just to keep the HAs and their launchers (or LAs and their C4) off you.
