I'm pretty sure I know what is what, but I could be wrong. Could you guys clarify which weapons apply bonus damage to what?
Forge Gun - ARMOR
Swarm Launcher - ARMOR
Plasma Cannon - SHIELD
Large Railgun - ARMOR
Small Railgun - ARMOR
Large Blaster - SHIELD
Large Missile - ARMOR
Small Missile - ARMOR
Remote Explosives - ARMOR
I left out Small Blasters because of its terrible efficiency vs vehicles.
So, who wants to sell me on why almost all practical forms of AV do their bonus damage to Armor? Can someone please attempt to explain the reasoning for this discrepancy?

I left out Small Blasters because of its terrible efficiency vs vehicles. But you already knew the answer to these questions or am I too bold in that assumption?
I had a good idea, like I mentioned I was pretty sure I knew what was what.
Just beating a dead horse here and wondering why AV is so stacked against Armor.

Heavy Amarr AV
Light amarr AV
Heavy gallente AV
Small Amarr turrets
Large Amarr turrets
amarr grenades
are then.
That's why there is a discrepancy. Basically, Amarr as a race has been neglected more than any other (and it is not even really close in Dust 514, and it shows.
Well, not putting in assets to the game isn't really an excuse for lopsided balance. They need to re address their system if they have no desire to create racial symmetry (they have no desire to create racial symmetry) so that way it's a little more even across the board.
Otherwise you create imbalances in the meta.

Otherwise you create imbalances in the meta. Yet had the content been in the game the meta might have been balanced. CCP cannot throw out established mechanics derived from EVE otherwise they risk creating another imbalance when content is added.
So the solution is years of imbalance in the hopes that some day they get their act straight?
Actually, sounds about right, given how the game has progressed.
