It just is. The rate these weapons do damage compared to the 66hp from a complex shield extender. 66hp? That's 1 bullet from a rail gun. |

Damage is absurd, which is why they tried to "balance" it by making certain armors gain a lot of health... only recently have they begun to realize that the damage output is not anywhere comparable to the defense output. Even though they now begrudgingly acknowledge it, they are taking their sweet time to do anything about it... AKA ignore it as much as possible and pretend it will go away.

It depends. As a general rule, if you have less than 660 total HP, an extender is always better than a mod. But, if you have more than 660HP, always equip a damage mod. Maths.
The second mod should only be equipped if you have over about 1000 HP. Because of this, Heavies should usually equip damage mods, because they generally gain a larger advantage from them than they do extenders, and why scouts will usually benefit more from extenders rather than mods.
There are exceptions, however. A suit specialized for high alpha damage will almost always gain a larger advantage from damage mods rather than extenders. Snipers, FGs, ScRs and the like benefit more from damage mods than other weapons.
It depends on the suit. There is no clear cut superior module.

They actually did the maths about this a while back.
1 Mod > 1HP
2 Mod < 2 HP

You're only talking in terms of percent increase nothing more. But with damage mods it's 10% every shot.
My scout with 250 hp equips an extender now has 316hp or
126% more hp. It doesn't help when that is less than one bullet.
But throwing that on a rail rifle means basically in 10 shots you're doing the damage of 11 shots. You just overrided all that hp even with that extra extender in less than 0.5 seconds.
The basic premise from the OP is correct, only issue being that DMG mods have insane fitting requirements meaning you are going make cuts somewhere else. |

you have to take into account that ten percent is only 30 damage added with the most powerful weapons.... 10% out of 1000 means only 100 more damage so to a vehicle that doesnt mean squat and doesnt even beat out armor mods of dropsuits .....
