So after 2 days of playing I finally found the right set up on my assault Ck.0 and i love it. It is however one of the more difficult suits to set up right. Protofits works on paper but field test is where its at. For those of you seeking advice on the assault Ck.0 keep the following things in mind:
- Regulators are your friend
- Too many shield extenders harm the use of regulators
- Stick to your racial weapons to make that garbage bonus at least playable
- Do NOT dual tank this suit, speed and agility is what you want
- Take a look at reactive plates
- Use nano hives and flux grenades
The best way to play this suit is medium to long range and near cover. Do not charge in because you will lose against most suits.This suit shines on flanking and outright tiring people in gun fight. Be a pest.
I kind of get why people are complaining because the vast majority of the suits on the field right now are armor suits with DMG mods. If you look at it armor suits are a little easier to fit and sacrifice less to fit DMG mods in regards to tank and recover abilities. I agree with most people that the shields need a little bit of love and the bonus of the CK.0 assault is garbage to say the least.
HOWEVER
Those of you who say shield suits are dead or seriously mistaken. They are not dead, Like i said before they need a little love in regards to fiiting requirements of modules and time to get used to. Set it up right and use it to it strengths and you'll do well with it. |

I agree. But it was outclassed by its little brother the scout. The assault has better use now in the Cal line-up.

My caldari brethren,
this is your imperial brother speaking.
I have gandered into the little brother (cal acout) suit as a secondary from my amarr assault. I can now say tuat I respect your shield tanking abilities. it has been a long time coming. Much overdue.
The best scout suits have low HP, but you cant really say the same thing with assaults.
remember the chromosome caldari assault. it was feared at proto, It was feared for the longest time.
You must be better than that, and now you can.
with your new amount of shields, you may snuff out the pesky combat rifle/rail rifle users. Never armor tank, thats for us Amarr brethren.
strafe your *ss off. And like he said ^^ range engagements are your friend.
just pray that you dont run into me with my Ak.0/ scrambler rifle ") |

Fear is for those who don't respect others my friend.
Every suit has a counter. Some better than others. The damage profile of the scrambler is beast against shields but so is the rail to armor. If the assault Ck.0 got the reduction to kick for the RR that was proposed in several threads it would be really nice, that would be benificial to the suit much like your reduction to heat build up bonus. Also the weapons with a better damage profile against shield have virtually no kick, so to me that kind of balances it out. The reload speed doesn't cut it and doesn't make it unique since the commando has it too. |

Chrome was the cal logi if I remember correctly. It had a shield bonus that put you at like 800 shields plus 4 lows and 3. Equipment.

Twins, how many Regulators are you running?
You should at least run two regulators with a Cal Assault. Try this fit:
Assault CK.0
3x Complex Shields
1x Enhanced Shield
1x Complex Recharger
2x Complex Regulators
1x Complex Speed
Kalaakiota RR
Proto Magsec
C-7 Flux.
It has 617 shields and base armor.
It has 45.53 recharge a second, and a delay/depleted of 2.05 and 3.13
Sprints at 8.28.
It's a perfect ranged fighter. Just stay at range and let that RR do it's work. If you do take damage, you can quickly regen whatever is lost.

Chrome was min logi and cal assault. Cal logi had extender bonus from 1.0-1.4 of uprising.

It's almost the same as what I'm running.
Assault Ck.0
3x compl shields
1x Enh Energizer
1x Compl recharger
2x compl regulator
1 basic reactive
kaalakiota RR
Base magsec
base flux
Adv hives or uplinks
Less speed but more recharge and can stay in the fight longer or bring people. I have the fit that you've made too btw. But hate running without equipment or armor rep since people barely carry links or hives these days. My fit is more of a stand alone that way. |

suit was great before its dangerous now and as soon as i can put down my shiny new toy the amarr assault i will go back to my caldari assault. i can't stand running around in the city with a rail rifle so ill try a different gun on there but the mobility and regen now is some fun times i wish i still could carry 3 core grenades.

They're all the same to me. We've been around too long.

After switching from Cal assault to Cal scout when it became FOTM I'm sticking with it.
Smaller (not broken) hit box and increased mobility (more possible kills) on scout compared to extra shield on assault is worth it in pubs (due to bad aimers)
In PC I'll be using the assault though.
