Scouts are faster than assaults but got an extremely low amount of HP.
While assault got good health and got a little bit of speed.
Now in this case if you fit some speed mods on assault they would be faster and scouts would be useless.
My point is that heavies can equip heavy weapons but scouts are no different from assault. |

Scout suits are not meant to compete at assaulting, neither are heavies, but everyone wants their scout or heavy to beat Assault Suits at what they are designed for, leanr to use your scout suit for diffrent stuff, like not being seen & flanking.
Not be seen and flanking seem like a job both assault and scout could do. |

You forgot the part where the hole platoon comes along out of nowhere and the guy pulls out his mass driver |

A scout is meant primarily for infiltration, recon, and evasion tactics.
An assault is meant primarily for direct head-on engagements.
Of course, you can try to use the scout as an assault and an assault as a scout but neither suit benefits from doing another suit's job. You also have to take their bonuses into consideration. Slot arrangements alone is hardly going to help. For example:
A Gallente scout gk.0 (prototype) has four low slots and has a bonus towards profile dampening and passive scan range. No other suit, not even the logistics, can compete with that.
Likewise, there is no other suit that can compete with the utility of the logistics dropsuits. Nor can any other suit compete with the HP tanking potential of the heavy suits. Every suit has a purpose. You just have to use that suit for that specific purpose. If you try to use a scout suit as an assault or logistics suit, you're going to die no matter what.
Assault can do that better than a scout talking about caldari assault or maybe logi with 4 high slots and 4 low slots can be super fast and infiltrate or do stuff a scout can the only thing stopping scouts is that assault can wear modules fit for scouts and scouts are pretty much useless. |
