Ever since armor plates got a buff, true shield tanking has been a bad way to go, simply because it requires a lot more skill for a lot less reward.
In the current iteration of the game, shield and armor tanking are almost balanced, but the damage mod buff and Am Assault FoTM will cause it to completely die.
"Minmitar Scout" and "Masochist" are synonyms.

Again. And that statement right there is why combat and rail rifles will continue to not be nerfed. We will likely see a resurgence in the use of mass drivers as well with the assault buff. Flux/grenade launcher combo is hilarious. Rail and CR chop amarr and gallente suits into chutney. The RR has the lowest DPS of any rifle in the game, save the ACR.
The CR has lower DPS than any other non-auto rifle, other than the TAR (possibly, though i don't believe so anymore)
ScR can get off more rounds before it overheats than the CR has bursts in its clip.
The AR is a CQC monster with its high clip size, high DPS, very high RoF, great hip fire, and spray-and pray capabilities.
And shield suits have less HP.
Stop telling me you get "chopped into chutney" by these weapons, until your proto suit can get one shot by fine rifle.

So what exactly is the problem with scouts being able to kill other suits...?
Is it because they aren't HMG heavies?
