Hull tanking is known as the manliest form of tanking. With hull tanking there is no safety buffer. Once your hull tank is gone your ship goes out in gloriour explosion. Additionally the incoming damage slowly bleeds into the ship's modules making it unwise to hull tank for long period of time. Not that you could maintain hull tank anyways since all active hull repair methods are laughably slow. Even the T2 hull repairers have staggering 24 second cycle time.

Regardless of these disatvantages hull tank is sometimes used uninorically. A bait ship with hull tank can lull the gankers into false feel of victory as they see the shields and armor waning away, only to spend ages grinding down the hull. Gallente ships like [[Brutix]] have notablu high ammount of hull HP on the hull making them viable at hull tanking.

As all the practically useful hull tanking modules are passive there is nothing that neuting can do to this type of tank.
As all the practically useful hull tanking modules are passive, a hull tank is resistant to neuting and other forms of capacitor warfare.
