Have fun charging an SCR.

I use a Rail Rifle. I kill people with a STD RR in a "Raven" Assault C-1. And a Breach SMG. And Basic modules. 288 Shields, 150 armor.

The definition of Assault is not to slay.....my god.....

as-+sault noun \+Ö--êso¦çlt\

If you didnt know its a low hp suit and like I said I rush
Templar logi
Or staff recruiter mlt frame.

Oh and I never see cal assaults purely shield tank like I do.

And yet, I do. 2 Basic Extenders, 1 Basic Damage Mod, 1 Basic Profile Dampener, 1 Shield Recharger (or whatever it is that goes on the lows), STD Rail Rifle, STD Breach Submachine Gun, STD AV Grenades, and STD Nanite Injector. On a "Raven" Assault C-1. 288 Shields, 150 Armor (Full Shields and Armor Upgrades). ~9K per suit. And killing proto suits with ease.

Yea on my tanking alt I killed a proto hea y with a medic fit.
And my suit gets instakilled but I dont care, its a money making fit
No mods, just the auits and weapons.
Plus I play on a 20 inch tv, it really sucks.

Ps
Shield regulator goes in the lows.

Oh ps
A std assault suit doesnt have 3 high slots.

Hmmm....

I could have sworn.... Well, perhaps not. I'll look at my fitting and stuff.

I'm really looking forward to being an assault in 1.8 - It's going to be my 2nd Proto over my already established scout.

We're getting a load of passive buffs in the stats regarding shields and stamina (for my minmatar at least, didn't look at the others admittedly)

Also I'm a little jealous of the Cal bonus. I've been playing as a commando more and a bonus to reload is really good - Alright its not very exciting but it looks so professional being able to reload that fast. To my mind a mark of a well trained military and tactically very beneficial. Its just so slick and efficient. Not to mention forcing a reload is my current strategy for wasting RR users right now - and one thats worked very well up to this point... a little worried about how I'd tackle a Cal Assault now

As for the Gals - I for one would be very scared of having one running at me. He's simply not going to miss. ADS or strafing he's going to place his shots exactly where he lines up. It would be nice if the bonus catered more for the other Gal weapons, particularly the PC, but then again I'm loosing a bonus to my flaylock so I guess its even

Broon, that would't work with me, even without the new CalAssault bonus. I have Prof 4, Fitting Op 3, Ammo Cap 3 and Rapid Reload 5 on my RR. Add the new CalAssault bonus and I'll be a reloading ninja.

You obviously saw the flaws in the weapon and compensated for it. Luckily for me most players don't seem to be very smart.

Then I go to my other well established and highly character Minmatar tactic

RUN AWAY!!

Ironically, they aren't posting complaints about a complaint.

The assault class.
Whether it's QQing about logi slots saying essentially saying they want us to die more.
Near endless QQ about anyone out killing them.
Or QQing about dying to an HMG within its optimal.

Assaults are the prissyest most spoiled role in dust (generally,not all assaults are like this).


These players come from COD and BF as well as Planet Side and brag about this fact often,frequently making comparisons as if validifies their points about nerfing other suits.

Assaults read the word "versatile" in the suit description and automatically believed that this entitles them to having the best layout and QQ endlessly about logis slots because of it.

Let us look at the varients of the smg for a comparison as to how CCP believes assaults should be played.
There is the standard SMG:
-Middle ground with no direct advantages (this represents logis and medium frames)
There is the breach:
-Higher damage but lower ROF (this represents heavies,and the inverse represents scouts and light suits)
There is the assault:
-Moderate ROF increase and magazine size increase but still does the same damage as the regular varient (this refers to assaults).

Now lets look at the bonuses:
Role Bonus: 5% reduction to PG/CPU cost of light/sidearm weapons

Caldari Assault: +5% to reload speed of hybrid railgun light/sidearm weapons per level.
Gallente Assault: 5% reduction to hybrid - blaster light/sidearm hip-fire dispersion and kick per level.
Minmatar Assault: +5% to projectile light/sidearm clip size per level.
Amarr Assault: 5% reduction to laser weaponry heat build-up per level.

I would say those bonuses are pretty versatile.
Caldari are dangerous at long and medium range.
Gallente are dangerous in CQC and at medium range.
Minmatar are dangerous in extended gunfights.
Amarr are dangerous for the raw power they can output without stopping.

These bonuses cover 100% of all possible battlefield conditions,each one is specifically designed to pick up where another leaves off.

But unfortunately assaults think they should have all bonuses all at once on a single suit (or at least that's how the prissyest ones act).

They believe the definition of assault means to slay....it doesn't.
Assault means to attack,or to apply constant force to defeat defenses.
Slaying isn't and shouldn't be limited to just assaults,but i personally believe that assaults should be faster at it and be able to do it for longer periods,as the assault SMG and their current bonuses imply.

"Waits till 1.8 before jumping to conclusions"

"Sees you looking like a fool"

Told you so.

I'm not assault, but the Gallente bonus only works for the AR class and completely changes the shotgun role and makes it worse. Plasma Cannon is not affected in any way.

Caldari get the old Commando bonus.

CCP doesn't know how to make a FPS.
