Amarr and Gallente should really be the only races with a Sentinel bonus to Explosives.
Amarr bonus being
Primary Explosives Resistance, Minor Projectile Damage Bonus
Gallente being
Primary Hybrid-Rail, Minor Explosives.
I mean Explosives Resistance is actually the highest resistance value Amarrian Armour vessels have @ T2.

You know how many console player forum trash would lose their **** if they knew you wanted to base this game on ideals that work perfectly fine in another game with similar defence mechanics.... Shame on you!
I feel ashamed of myself.......

No. Sentinels are designed to take on heavier firepower and resistance to the explosives...cause that's what Sentinels/Heavies are. It's even in the description in game. Sentinels are point pushers and point defenders, they are more frontline than the assault and for that reason they should not have their resistance to explosives removed. ...What unit in a game of skirmish ISN'T pushing a point or defending a point? And what bearing does the description have on pragmatic balancing? Splash is the PRIMARY mode of damage for the mass driver, direct hits are very hard to land against even a slow moving target (if the MD were easy to use, everyone would be using it). It's ridiculous to empty a whole clip of MD rounds onto a heavy and he only ends up halfway through armor. What other weapon has this disadvantage against heavies?
Not sure it matters to be honest.
As I said before in actuality only the Amarr and Gallente should have higher than normal explosives damage resistance profiles as contrary to popular belief Amarr and Gallente resist explosive damage very well.

Hit sentinels from range and get a direct hit? That is very, very hard. Move 0.5 meters left or right and my direct hit is now splash.
Also, the counter to splash on sentinels is their extremely high HP, and the MD's extremely low DPS.
I don't see how the mass driver merits some special "counter" compared to other weapons which much higher DPS.
If you want RE resistance, we can talk about that, but mass drivers shouldn't be caught up in that equation.
blah blah blah The sentinel bonus essentially makes the suit a hard counter to the mass driver. Hard counters are not preferable. This is the core of my issue. How many other light weapon users have to outright RUN when confronted with a particular class of suits?
Amarr Assaults...... SCR cannot chew through any sentinel....but a poorly tanked Minmatar one.

Are you attempting (pardon my ignorance too much thread) that only Massdriver explosive resistance should be exempt from this or that all explosive resistance should be removed from sentinels?

Mass Driver should be exempt. I think the RE and Grenade resistance is OK because they do 1750 and 600 splash damage. But the Mass Driver does, at best, 229.03 splash damage.
I understand now.
