Now, part of this problem I think comes from thanks to the over abundance of Anti-Armor weapons. Face it shield users. There are more Anti-Armor weapons in the game AND the most used weapons in matches are Anti-Armor so anyone with a shield suit is not used to almost any weakness. If you take that into the shield suit users whining, it means that they are so used to get git with weapons that do minimal damage to their shields, that when a specialty weapon designed yo destroy shields comes inyo play, they cry and whine how said weapon is OP.
Now for damage profiles. There are currently 5 damage profiles.
Plasma +10/-10
Rail -10/+10
Projectile -15/+15
Laser +20/-20
Explosive -20/+20
Now look at that. 3 damage profiles designed to take out armor. Yet do you see any armor suit user complaining about these? Do you seeany armor suit user complaining how the Projectile and Explosive chew right threw armor like it was nothing? No. Even if RR, HMGs and CRs are the most used weapons in the battlefield, you almosy never see an armor suit user whining about.
But now, if a Laser weapons comes into play, a shield suit user will scream for a nerf to it's profile. Again, this most likely comes do to the over abundance of Anti-Armor weapons and them being so used to be getting hit with those that when an Anti-Shield weapon comes out, they think its OP.
Can the weapon use some changes? Yeah. Does the damage profile need some chanages? No. Is there a weapon that does 1000 DPS to armor? Until then, stfu and let me complain. Also, Armor suits naturally have more armor than shield suits have shield.
Uhh hmg which operates in the same range as armor users lol! And the suit itself is difficult to kill by armor users so not only do we have a long range counter (rail) we have a short range counter where as shields only have a short range counter, nobody uses a scr for long range.
