For amarr commando, drop the laser rifle add a swarm launcher - Commandos are the go to all purpose anti-infantry and anti-vehicle suits. Assaults are the ones that are best oriented to using the laser - but it is a niche pick. There is a ton of overlap between the scrambler and laser in roles which isn't ideal for a commando.
For the proto assault, 3 damage mods, 3 enhanced plates, 2 complex reps - no one I know bothers with shield modules on an amarr assault.
Also, every race needs to have a tank available - I don't care if its a Khanid HAV using a recolored Gunnlogi (paint it black) hull with khanid missile systems and the same slot layout / stats as a madrugar it needs to happen. Every role in the game should be able to get *something* out of a LP store.

A Blasphemy against the original Amarr Commando! (Aero)
That's how my own proto commando's run. Not because I don't love laser rifles (If the numbers are checked IIRC I came in third on officer laser and during the event there was a proto commando who kept on killing me in laser duels), but because there's a lot of overlap between laser + scrambler and commandos are really the 'takes all comers' suit.
Scrambler is there for anti-infantry, swarm is there for AV.

Sure you can. It requires them acting stupidly, but AV should be a coordinated effort unless a vehicle is doing really dumb **** or gets incredibly unlucky.
In a 1v1 fight a vehicle that's aware and considering their options should have a chance to escape unless they were surprised or got themselves into a bad position. That's fair and balanced.

Still its not Amarrian Technology and has no place in our LP store or on our LP fits. We just have to suck it up until we get some Amarr AV options.
Not everyone can be held to PIE standards True, supplementing for what we currently lack with what our Khanid approved Caldari allies possess isn't a bad idea. It's why so many loyal Amarr choose to use Caldari designed Magsec SMG's as opposed to Minmatar designed projectile SMG's (even though some variant's are made by the Ishukone corporation).
Who knows, maybe they'll just commission a temporary "Heathen" pattern Gunnlogi - like the existing praetorian madrugar - and add it to our factions loyalty store just to satisfy you.

For those who are unfamiliar with Guristas and EVE in general they are pirates and some of their ships can be piloted by the player. To fly these ships you need both Caldari and Gallente ship skills so why not kill to birds with one stone and bring vehicle diversity through lore accuracy.
Because caldari and gallente already have practically all of the art assets that exist within this game. If they slapped the label of 'caldari/gallente warfare simulator' on dust it wouldn't be inappropriate.
