I never liked the old plate penalties. The new ones are perfect but repper and reactive plates should either scale higher or have lower CPU/PG to make them worth using.
The biggest issue for armor tanking however is high slot disparity. Move all electronics related and future active/EWAR related modules to high slots, change Minmatar logi slot layout to 5/3 at prototype, and move damage mods to low slots. Armor should not have access to the biggest buffer and the best gank at the same time. This change would mean that Gallente suits will have access to tackling, nos, target painting, and other debuffs to balance out their lack of speed while shields can flank and gank with hit and run tactics and lower HP. Minmatar logi will mirror the assault while still having the versatility as it did with a 4/4 slot layout at prototype.

Minmatar 5/3?
So basically, more slots than all other assault suits?
That's kinda dumb.

I thought cats had good eyesight.

Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Why: Armor is supposed to be a CQC brawler like type, so it can't have it's walk speed reduced for strafing. But it's also a more defensive "stand and deliver" type, rather than rushing towards your enemies. Stats out of my ass: Basic plates: 7% Enhanced plates: 8% Complex plates: 10% So complex plates will put a Gallente Assault from 7.35 m/s to 6.6m/s.
