When you look at base stats, you are correct. The Base shields on the Sentinel gk.0 is 390HP, while the Sentinel ak.0 rests at 360. However, you forget to mention the fact that the Sentinel ak.0 has a 2/4 layout while the Sentinel gk.0 has a 1/4 layout. Assuming you both decide to run as many Shield Extenders as possible, the Amarr Sentinel will now boast 595.2HP of shields, beating the Gallente Sentinel with 560.1HP of shields by 35.1HP.
While this is insignificant, It us a free Enhanced Module isn't it?
If the Sentinel gk.0 truly had 656.25HP of armor, then you'd have lost this argument a long time ago and I would have laughed at your claims about how the Amarr Sentinel wouldn't be as good as the other Sentinels.
Assuming you use the largest amount of HP possible, the Sentinel gk.0 suit will have 1250.25HP of armor.
I guess I'll break down my math here:
Quote:
// Max Armor = 1250.25
// Repair Rate = 1.00HP/s
[1250.25 / 60] = 20.8375 // Minutes
[60 * .8375] = 50.25 // Seconds
When you round, that is 20min and 50s. You commented about how with 4 Complex Armor Plates, the Sentinel ak.0 would only have 656.25HP of armor, but it seems you forgot to include the Base HP as well.
Also, no it is not a "FREE BASIC MODULE". It's not even a "FREE MILITIA MODULE". The STD and MLT Armor Repair Modules repair at 2HP/s, while the Gallente Sentinel has an innate rep of only 1HP/s. Though assuming you were correct, it's still insignificant. If I gave the Amarr Sentinel an innate 5% bonus to melee damage, would you accept that?
It is a free basic module after all.
I'm sorry, but the fact that you added the Shotgun is rather insulting. What use would someone have for the Shotgun on an Armored Commando? You wouldn't
People aren't going to flock to the Caldari Commando for sniping. Why you might ask?
It's not a viable class. The hit detection and zoom issues are so faulty that the only viable Sniper Rifle is the Thale's TAR-07; which is an Officer Weapon.
You do realize that you can use an exploit to practically negate the reload on any weapon, right?
Actually, it's 7% possible HP at the most, which is very insignificant when you have the ability to carry a 2nd weapon in exchange.
Call BS on my assertion you say? Let's take a look at these weapons:
- Swarm Launcher
- Assault Swarm Launcher
- Specialist Swarm Launcher
- Laser Rifle
- Sniper Rifle
- Specialist Sniper Rifle
- Tactical Sniper Rifle
- Charge Sniper Rifle
- Plasma Cannon
All of these weapons that are difficult to near impossible to run without a sidearm of some sort. I challenge you to run any of these weapons on a Logistics suit (other than Amarr). Then tell me how the lack of a Sidearm doesn't spell instant death for you.
Also, you've still yet to refute my hypothetical situation:
Quote:
Let's look at this instance. Two Mass Driver users are having a duel, and both of their clips run dry. What happens next? The logi without the sidearm is fumbling and jumping everywhere while trying to reload; whilst the logi with the sidearm whipped out his SMG (or pistol) and finished off the logi with no sidearm. (And so-forth for every weapon in the game).
2 Slots are not always better than 1; It depends on the contents and options the slots have. For example, let's say I created a different slot and moved Myrofibril Stimulants, Precision Enhancers, and Range Amplifiers to it. We'll call this the X slot.
Now, what if I took away 2 Low Slots from all of the Amarr frames, and added 4 X Slots? By your logic, this would be a buff simply because 4 > 2.
And now, I I take away 2 X Slots and give the Assault mk.0 an extra low slot? By your logic, this would be both a nerf and/or sacrifice, simply because 2 > 1. Lol?
What need do you have for speed? There isn't a single Medium Frame in the game that can outstrafe Aim Assist, so being fast won't mean a thing if your trying to dodge bullets. Need to move to the next point? Just grab an LAV.
If you believe that the loss of stacking a 4th Damage Modifier, 1 Shield Extender, or Myrofibril Stimulant is a sacrifice that prevents something from being the best; you are bad, and should feel bad.
If you believe that a suit will be at a disadvantage because of 9.34HP and 0.01m/s you are bad and should feel bad.
30PG is actually not that bad. Perhaps you might not realize this, but you can't have all PRO items on any suit without making some kind of sacrifice with your fittings. That's called balance son.
