refer to CCP's own description of the suits: (http://dust514.com/universe/dropsuits/)

Assault: The Assault dropsuit is a versatile frontline combat suit that combines excellent protection, good mobility, and sufficient versatility for mission-specific alterations. Assault dropsuits are intended for standard combat operations or those in which objectives are likely to change at a momentGÇÖs notice. Able to carry anything from small arms and explosives to heavy anti-vehicle munitions and deployable support gear, this is the most adaptable suit on the battlefield.

Logistics: The Logistics dropsuit is outfitted with the latest in diagnostic technology, to help the wearer maintain the condition and efficiency of squad-mates and their equipment. A soldier in a logistics dropsuit can greatly improve the overall effectiveness of his group, and fills a vital tactical role in small-unit operations and full-scale warfare by providing both medical and mechanical support.


Now we'll look at the proto suit variants for each as this represents the 'end game' builds: (Highs/Lows/Equip)

Assault:
Gk0 - 3/4/1, 60pg/300 cpu. 120/210 EHP =330
Ck0 -4/3/1, 60pg/300 cpu. 210/120 EHP = 330
Mk0 - 5/2/1, 64 pg/320 cpu. 150/135 EHP = 285
Ak0 - 3/3/1, 70pg/350cpu 180/180 EHP = 360

Logistics:
Gk0 -3/5/4, 78pg/390cpu. 90/180 = 270 EHP
Ck0 - 5/4/3, 78pg/350 cpu. 180/90 = 270 EHP
Mk0 - 4/4/4, 78pg/390 cpu. 90/150 = 240 EHP
Ak0 - 3/4/3, 72pg/390 cpu. 120/180 = 300 EHP



Here's what I don't understand...No where in CCP description of the Logi does it say, adapted for optimal slaying and WP production. And the assault, "most adaptable suit on the field", are you ******* kidding me?

My beef is that logis are not required to fill equip slots, so if you don't fill the slots....3 out of the 4 logi suits have more total Highs and Lows than the assault variants, with a significant boost to pg and cpu to fit proto mods/weaps/grenades.

The logistics role by definition is not a slayer build, but due to CCP's infinite wisdom they have allowed the base suit to be more adept at the 'slayer' role than the assault variant.

Now, people will argue that oh logis don't get a side-arm so its fair. Right, because when I watch the battlefeed it always says "Ishukone assault submachine gun", you hardly ever see "Duvolle assault rifle". SMH. The sidearm argument is played out.

Yes the assault variants have more base EHP but its really not that significant unless you are Amarr Assault or Min Logi, as those two lie on the ends of the spectrum.


Here's my QQ, Why does a logi have the ability to 'change' roles from logistics, to assault, to scout, to tank....when no other class especially the class that boasts the "most adaptable suit on the battlefield" is unable to cross into another role?

And to respond to Jack Mcready.....take the equip slot from the Minmatar assault, give me another low slow and I'll be happy as a pig in ****. The equip slot on an assault is not necessary, if I am supposed to slay, then let me slay. If I am supposed to provide "medical and mechanical" support, then give me 4 equip slots!
