Best advice I can give - at least until the upcoming major review of vehicles (about which I'm very concerned and not too hopeful) is to stick with your armour. Sica/Gunnlogi are much worse options overall than Soma/Madrugar given the current state of the game.
Keep running with what you have, because as fragile as you still are, you're still in a better position than some of us. |

In spite of my advice to run Armour Tanks right now, I still run Shield Tanks because of several factors:
1. They look cool.
2. They're fun even if they die way too easily.
3. I have hope that eventually CCP might start to take the idea of DUST seriously and actually fix a few of the really obvious flaws we've been pointing out to them since they broke the game for "LOLRelease 5/14" |

Some people who ask for more speed are saying that as shield tanks, our base speed should be higher because Gallente are armour. I don't agree with that, but the imbalance is real, and the speed reduction was taken too far. Gallente HAVs can fit a couple of armour plates and still outpace the Caldari HAV while having more HP as well as a slight edge in speed. No, they don't need to increase our speed to outpace Gallente, but yes, a small buff in that area would help.
More important is the lack of PG and resultant inability to competently fit anything but Missile Turrets when Railguns are supposed to be one of the primary Caldari technologies. All HAVs are short of the mark on fitting capabilities, but the Caldari more than Gallente. A major part of the problem is the lack of any HAV hulls above Standard, which really needs to be addressed. |

I usually run Caldari, but I have a friend who does Gallente HAVs, and his Soma can outrun my Sica while also taking more hits than I do, even though the weapons being used are anti-armour and I'm a shield tank. |
