Suit is pretty versatile, but weak as hell when you fit for shields.
Nah. It doesn't. With shields you can strafe fast. Even with Auto-Aim you'll have bullets whiz past you.

I highly disagree with the majority of this thread.
Minmatar Assaults who Shield Tank with a Combat Rifle/SMG can kick ass against Armor. They both have advantages and disadvantages. You know who I usually lose to? Not the Armor tankers, but the Shield Tankers. Armor Tankers are slow and so they're easier to HS with a speedy weapon or with a high alpha damage weapon, the AR and the ScR respectively(duh!). Minmatar can outrun you and out strafe you in CQC with a SMG and a Combat Rifle which both weapons are the most effective against armor and either can fire at a high rate or have potential for the highest DPS. I KNOW THIS. 600+ Armor will not save your ass against a competent player shield tanking.
If you don't believe me. Ask Grease Spillet or Noien Blankets to 1v1 you with your 600+ Armor vs their Shields. You'll either lose or get a close call of a win.
Bah. People who Armor tank in Minmatar are silly. It's less efficient at all times. You're trying to compete with true armor tankers who will DEMOLISH you with the right weapons.

I hear "Armor is better than shields" but the two new and very popular rifles are more effective against armor.
I hear "Stacked damage mods and armor is the only way to go" but I regularly defend a point using a shield fit Minmatar Logistics, the weaker of the two shield tankers, with no damage mods against three or four guys at a time.
Stealth, cover, mobility and brains beat super tanks and heavily damage modified weapons. Know where the other guy is, make him break cover to get to you and shoot him from an angle he doesn't expect. Standing in front of each other shooting until dead as a military tactic died out a long time ago.
THIS. THISSS. THIS SHET RIGHT HERE.
You don't know how much THIS is ignored.
I don't wanna hear how one style is more viable than the other. So far, this build and last build, both sides have been pretty balanced. If Armor Tanking was as easy as everyone made it seem, I would be getting 20/0 or better almost every damn game.
All I'm thinking is that Shield-Tankers want to brick tank like the Armor Tankers but that's a big no-no.  600+ Shields and you move as easily as you do with 200+ Shields? Gtfo. That would negate Armor Tanking altogether.
