They need to be able to passive rep at a competitive rate or we need the same remote reps, not tied to a vehicle they are removing, that during activation is almost impossible to competently pilot. And before you start that hit and run non-sense again, my raven doesn't need to hit and run, and it can receive remote reps... Your tank determines what damage you tank better, not your play-style.
Your tank means both.
If you saw an enemy Gallente battlecruiser and you were a Caldari battlecruiser you'd be dumb as **** to get in range of that Gallente battlecruiser.
Caldari play it smart and take range, distance and countermeasures in their tactics. They are not brawlers in any means and should not be played as such. Even though shield rechargers could use a race specific buff you have a completely wrong mindset about this game. Each defense can not be played the same exact way and I think this is a major reason why many DUST players are having the complaints they do now because they don't realize that armor requires a completely different battle approach from shields.
A huge problem with this game is that we don't have the content necessary to fulfill each factions playstyle out fully so you're stuck with Caldari ground units having to fight outside their comfort zone (even though you could hardly tell a few months ago) and getting owned by everyone else, specifically the Gallente, whose weapons are made to be used with the Caldari in mind.
Without having the basic content in this game CCP should have had fixed and installed back in closed beta is the result of people trying to change the battle philosophies of each faction because not many things are fluid right now.
With the addition of the rail rifle Caldari units might gain some ground back in their comfort area, taking fights at med.-long range and using cover and not tap dancing around on the battlefield resulting in death and tears.
Sadly all I can say is that things will get better for shields SOONGäó.
And don't worry, armor was **** since the game came out up until the reduced the speed penalty three months back, it shouldn't take them that long to get shields up to par. |
