pagl1u M Dead Man's Game RUST415 1152	Posted - 2014.12.20 11:37:00 - [1] - Quote When the shield tankers with an Anti-armor rifle meets the armor tanker with an Anti-shield rifle, the shield tankers is a dead man. I'm not going to prove it mathematically. I'm not going to explain why this happens, I don't know it. It's just something I always see on the battlefield. One of the few assaults you'll find in a PC match!

I mean I see most assaults using bar on shield suites. Shield weapons have advantage as they hit the bonus first! However it's advisable to armour stack anymore so taking out armour is alot easier it's balanced kinda, I just want racial suits to use there own weapon! :( What's the story in balamory?

WeapondigitX V7 The Exemplars RISE of LEGION 178	Posted - 2014.12.20 12:16:00 - [10] - Quote pagl1u M wrote: When the shield tankers with an Anti-armor rifle meets the armor tanker with an Anti-shield rifle, the shield tankers is a dead man. I'm not going to prove it mathematically. I'm not going to explain why this happens, I don't know it. It's just something I always see on the battlefield. The game was designed this way. You described a fight with no cover, where they both accidentally encounter another, or the shield tanker sees the armor tanker too late and is not close enough to cover and is not far away enough to outrun the enemy. The game has a map which includes cover, shield tankers need to rely on cover more than armor tankers to survive. The armor tankers are front line fighters, they rely on cover slightly less. Which ever opponent uses there playstyle the best, wins and survives. There is only ever 1 survivor. In reality: The shield tanker must out regen the enemy using range and cover and difference in height. (shield tanker must be much higher or much lower in height to increase the distance / effort required for armor tanker to reach the shield tanker) The armor tanker must try to deal as much damage to the shield tanker as possible when the shield guy exposes himself to attack the armor guy. Then the shield tanker must hide in cover to out regen the armor guy and hope that the effort required for armor guy to reach the shield guy is a lot. That allows the shield guy to expose himself again to fire at the armor guy. After regenerating once I can usually kill the armor tanker. (the encounter usually takes 8 to 10 seconds because of armor tankers slower speed). If the armor guy has very similar speed to the shield guy then the shield guy has a chance in a firefight. (both opponents with have very similar total health points). I usually engage enemies at 35m to 90m when im using shield suits. You must have very good aim in order to use shield suits properly (this deters armor tanker from charging and overrunning your position). Otherwise the armor tanker will see you as a small threat and charge at you with 70 to 100% weapon accuracy and obliterate you. Because you convinced him that he had better aiming skills than you. You could fire then run, then fire then run to different cover again but that usually only works in cities with using no biotic mods.

LHughes Dead Man's Game RUST415 211	Posted - 2014.12.20 12:35:00 - [14] - Quote Sheid weapons are OP because most people armour tank, therefore people using shield weapons say it needs a buff because it doesn't kill as much as an armour gun. So when a shield gun vs a shield dropsuit it rinses them. Shields don't need a buff.... Most shield guns need a nerf, then you will see more shield users, then the shield guns will become balanced again. This is a bold signature
WeapondigitX V7 The Exemplars RISE of LEGION 178	Posted - 2014.12.20 12:39:00 - [15] - Quote Every time the shield guy exposes himself and the armor guy attacks (draining your shields) you must also attack him to do some damage (that damage may be smaller but you need to be very accurate, imagine where the enemy is while your behind cover, ''predictive wall hacking'' I call it, you predict where enemy is and fire after exposing yourself, some people do this well) Then you rinse and repeat that shield regen process. Slowly killing him if he has less armor regen If he has a tac AR or SCR, you must wait until another ally attacks him head on, then you attack him together, his SCR may not have enough shots to kill you both. (if your both assault suits with high shields and you don't stay still so you and the ally dodge 30% of all shots) Or you must flank him or get behind him, your faster speed is meant to help you get to cover fast enough that he wont notice you until its too late. Then you must be very accurate to you have a 200 hp or 400 hp damage advantage. You should try to flank and attack from cover.

Cavani1EE7 Murphys-Law 646	Posted - 2014.12.20 14:04:00 - [19] - Quote Shield tanking is not viable. You either double tank your CalAssault (something like 500-400) or don't expect you'll have an easy match. The ARR TTK on 700-800 armor is huge, so by double tanking it you can also put a damage mod. I for one am still using my pure shield tanked Ck.0. Shield tanking is hard mode /period.

I used to be Caldari everything but when my KD in a pub with a Cal assaut after being Cal since closed beta is 3..... Then I respec into min ass and it becomes 6 overnight by dual tanking (weekly KD still rising as I get better with it)..... Something MUST be wrong. your rise in KD may be something to do with the min assault itself. i find the min assault the hardest enemy to kill on the battlefield. many times they just dance through my HMG without taking noticable damage. i'd rather take on a proto cal sentinel than a adv minmatar assault with my min heavy.
