It's fuckin re.tarded. An adv can have about 588 shields and as much armor as it wants (haven't seen anyone dual tank yet, but seeing as how you could get about 900 total hp AND a proto weapon, I don't think it'll be a problem). GG caldari loyalists, you've predicted this genius idea

Im amazed that:

1: you haven't seen dual tanking in pub matches, because its pretty common

2: you think its a good idea, because you sacrifice some pretty amazing stats for that terrible armor

Advance Caldari Assaults walking around with more EHP than my Proto Minmatar heavy. :(

Caldari assaults can't carry six kin burst HMGs...

The most HP you can squeeze out of a Caldari ADV Assault is around 1089 HP with 2 Complex Extenders, 2 Enhanced Extenders, and 2 Complex plates....and like an SMG.

Proto Min Sentinel can fit 3 complex extenders and 2 complex plates for a total of 1546 HP. That's not counting resistance bonuses either.

In that case one of you two is running a terrible setup.

I really think you're exaggerating heavily.

As much armor as he wants with 2 lows? Lol, no **** people dual tank the shield recharge sucks and isn't worth it.

to be honest im laughing my ass off at the fact some one is complaining about shield tanking suits.. +1 to you good sir..

now.. down to business.. their core skills vs yours.. dual tanking is a sin we all partake in.. dual tanks are weak since they are not specialised in 1 spesific role.. ie armor = brawler, shield = long range skirmish fighter.. 1 cooked flux and a good spray from a CR or HMG and they will drop like panties at a drug fueled rave..

now lets take a second look at your argument.. now weigh the EHP of the cal assault vs the Amarr or gallente assaults and then weigh all 3 vs minmatar.. minny will come out rather low in EHP but has monster speed/sprint in comparison.. so comparing a Speed race suit (min) vs a major shield tank race suit you will get a bit butthurt at the difference.. but hell isnt minmatar sentinel like as fast as some of the assaults already? and can wield the fart-gun of doom! aka the burst HMG

but in all seriousness.. shield tanking is the unloved unwanted red-headed stepchild of the types of tanking.. we need active shield reppers not just delayed "passive" regeneration

People use shield suits but they want to fight like armor suits. They want to stand and deliver while they're suppose to hit and run. If you play the suit right, it can be really good.

Caldari suits are not designed for hit and run gameplay.
