Why do people use CR? Cause everyone is stacking armour.

Change that meta. And everyone will change weapon.

The answer is in the thread I posted earlier I was trying to stay somewhat on topic here. In order to change the meta without raping ak/gk they would have to give shields a similar capacity to armor which would be a poor choice instead of balancing one weapon. It would require generalization of shields and armor killing the uniqueness of ck/gk and dumbing down the game. It would also require every weapon to be re balance because profile values would change across the board completely destroying the progress the devs have made.

You could use the info from the other thread, but since the info doesn't really matter to you. Go ahead and give me your magic fit that defies math and I will give you the calculations for it or even better please prove me wrong I welcome the thought of it.

Listen do the math yourself if you don't believe me... I am pretty sure most people duel tank anyway... and as if it wasn't obvious by the over performance of projectile weapons.

I don't dual tank on any suit. I have found doing so handicaps more than helps.

And projectiles aren't overperforming. They are meant to kill armor. 80% of the dropsuits I see are amarr or gallente unless they're scouts. Projectiles are most effective against these suits. The exception comes when shield suits try to brawl. Since the EHP is lower overall they die fast because you cannot recover fast enough in CQC to make up for the buffer that armor has.

When shield suits are used as intended in skirmish and long range combat they excel. But when most blue and red dots are using armor suits with armor destroying weapons the numbers skew, especially with the recent RR nerfs.

We won't even discuss how mist cal/min players rush into close combat with the enthusiasm of an amarr sentinel.
