To be fair, not all Sentinels will be affected by the changes to armor plates.

I guarantee you that most Caldari Sentinels do not use armor plates.
But yes, I could see a decrease to HMG damage and an increase to survivability. The issue with this of course is the Forge Gun, since Forge Guns are rarely used against infantry (and if they are its from up high from range where they're not taking damage anyways). There is little reason to nerf them, yet you don't and increase Sentinel defenses, then that can cause further issues, particularly for vehicles. This is why we really need a Heavy Frame that is focused around attacking with heavy weapons...

As well as weapon parity is there any chance of weapon purpose being looked at? Is there meant to be 2 heavy weapons per race - one primarily AV and one AI? whats the deal CCP?
I imagine this was the original intention to have 2 Heavy Weapons per race, but obviously they didn't allocate the resources to it before FanFest happened.

I think just adding an Anti-Shield Heavy weapon would be sufficient in the short term.
