We kind of had a Assault vs Logi and Heavy vs Scout with Commando vs nobody
Now in 1.8 the flow seems to be changing a bit, and the Commando will be the best for stand toe to toe with a Sentinel suit.
Other then that, I have no idea who is best when used vs who.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?

The commando will be the go to suit, as it will probably make the assault suit pointless, as you can tank it while having better damage. The gallente scout with remotes seems like a good counter to commandos, but sentinels...

Yeah, losing the ability to 4 shot a heavy is gonna be sad.

You're talking about the shotgun..right? Because I can 2 shot them with a headshot and a body shot using the advanced breach.

I think any cloaky scout + RE`s will certainly be a thorn in the sides of many a heavy.
@ OP How about Caldari Forge gun master race! Mu ha ha ha

Yes, and to be fair, the breach does out dmg the std shotgun.
I also tend to body shot if I see heavy below advanced.

Caldari Scout > everything else, you wont see him coming but he will ALWAYS see you coming.

provided he has proto range amp in his low, scout scan range isn't much without it.

Scout counters heavy
Assault counters scout
Heavy counters assault
Commando.... Can't really say and same goes for logistics

I think the switch time between cloak and RE is gonna be too long to be a serious problem.
Also, The Caldari heavy is gonna be scary with a FG but dmg mods being changed is gonna be just like a Amarr heavy frame with a FG now(maybe even less since the prof skill is being changed)

Interesting thread.
Roughly, I see the Commando and Sentinel as true opposite sides of the same coin and the other suits providing countering actions to each other.
Offensive posture:
1) Commando for tanking through and bringing the fight to the Sentinels
2) Assaults flanking and supporting Commandos or being the general purpose suit
3) Scouts setting conditions for the attack with uplinks and remotes, disrupting other areas to draw away combat power, picking off stragglers
4) Logis keeping the war machine going with pick ups, ammo, scans
Defensive Posture:
1) Sentinels anchoring the defensive positions and strong points
2) Assaults flanking and providing longer range fires to disrupt or take out targets as they enter the Sentinels optimal range (aka Beast Mode).
3) Logis focused on keeping the Sentinel operational with reps/ammo
4) Scouts provide early warning as attackers before attackers penetrate; cloak and move to the points the attackers just left vulnerable as they push to set conditions for counter attack or solo the OBJ.

Didnt quite forget, but the Gal scout was made to be the cal scouts counter, but I still think the cal scout will be better at finding and killing all the rest of the suits.

Now where does that leave the assault class?
After Uprisings release the forums were a bad place, I'll never forget how CCP screwed up so badly.

If you want a jack of all trades a Caldari/Minmatar suit with a CR or SCR/Magsec is the best choice.
To counter heavy armor a MD/RR/Magsec is the best choice
To counter shields a SCR is the best choice.
To counter heavies a Dual tanked commando with a SCR and Magsec
To counter commandos grenades and a MD.
Scouts idk.
Medium suits a heavy with a HMG.

There may be changes we've not been told of yet, but I'd say:
Any suit that is driving a tank will be best for countering... well... anything.
EDIT: Damn, just realized what I did there. Sorry, please ignore this post, I didn't mean to derail the thread. |

Logi plus heavy destroys all  as I posted in a similar thread I want a Gal or Amarr sentinel with my Cal commando and a minmatar logi backing us up. Then I want free roaming and nibbling at the enemy while telling us wha the enemy is doing.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
