So today I went and changed from my normal PLC+Flaylock Assault to dual PLC Galmando, and many lolz were had.
I downed a Python in one match and couldn't down a Sica in the same one.
What surprised me was that I two hit the Python... Now mind you I only have lvl 3 in Galmando and was using a G-1 with basic PLCs, but really? Two hits?
Now, that same match, I put two rounds into this guys shields on the first encounter, which took his shields out. However, I found him again later on and something different happened. I put one round into his shields, after which he turned his hardener on with half his shields left. It took another two hits to break his shields, and after that, I shot one into his armor, taking out half of it. He then runs off, but it would have taken 5 hits to down him. I suspect he was using dual hardeners and maybe a shield extender, so there's that.
LAVs also take two hits to kill, at least Sagas do. So are Assault drop ships supposed to be flying LAVs?
Needless to say, this was most likely an anomaly, as normally, I wouldnt have been able to land two consecutive shots on an assault drop ship with a competent pilot.
I don't know what to think of this. I just wanted to share for some interesting discussion.

Also, I had no idea you could do that with a Sica. That is completely BS as it makes Gunnlogis only marginally better, unless you add another hardener, but I'm not sure that is possible. Also, I can't fitnall proto modules on a militia suit if I wanted to, and militia suits also don't have only one slot difference...

a Sica without any HP modules 2650 shields 1500 base armor.
that might help.
That is what scared me. I believe the pilot of the drop ship had a gunner, and I'm not sure how much you have to sacrifice for that. I think he was just using no extenders, or I hit the weak spot.

One vehicle represents the pinnacle of Armour and Shielding on a slow moving ground vehicle the other is supposed to represent the medium armoured and shielded nimble movements of an aerial troop transport or medium attack vehicle.
Issue lies in Shield tank fitting capacity and what it allows for. Oh no, I can definitely agree with you here. I can't make a Dual tanked Soma or Madrugar if I wanted to, and the same should go for Sica and Gunnlogi. Im not exactly sure what it is that allows for this, I think it is the fact that the Gunnlogi has more fitting capacity, as I don't tank often, I don't know off the top of my head.
