Gal assaults can tank considerably more then commandos because I've seen some rockin 1000 armor in a PRO suit and commando's should be the breachers not assaults , assaults shouldn't be breachers and slayers at the same time .

Leaves nothing for the commando to do and prob why they have no clear cut role besides long distance attacking which is sad for a suit that's suppose to be a " jack of all trades " in assaulting on the field .

Big bulky and have to be 50 - 80 m away to be effective , slow , can't see and has **** poor range as well on top of having a big hit box and the least amount of slots .

Gall assault can see better , out tank and rep them ... more mobile and in a head to head would obliterate the bigger opponent .

I use Galmando and a Cal Commando is a beast with a PLC as well but commando role is just not in a good place right now .

Just because they get to use two light weapons shouldn't be a reason to have a suit like that , that's just so gimpy .

Yeah, I know the Black Eagle AR is a "sidearm" I was just trying to say that you can achieve similar to better results with a Galassault instead of a Galmando if you really try to do so. And if you're prepared to lose some rare gear. Jaran Vilktar wrote: And if you're prepared to lose some rare gear. If I bring rare gear into the equation I can make the Commando look like god.

It's not as good as it should be. Not saying it's as good as it should be, but it definitely doesn't need to be comparable to the Assault in those aspects, otherwise it just becomes a straight up better Assault.

If it was better in the places you say it's lacking, no one would use the assault suits Commando should be better atleast in few of these stats that i mentioned. Cuz commando trade ONE light weapon slot for all these cons. An extra light weapon slot is a pretty big deal. Having two light weapons SHOULD come with some pretty heavy cons. Sure the commando needs some love, but it's definitely not far from the mark. Cat Merc for C¦¦P¦¦M¦¦9¦¦ CPM Nyan! *Vote 'Keshava' for the new Gallente vehicle name!*

Gal Assaults with 1000 armor are fail Gal Assaults that strafe worse than sentinels. They are my favorite targets, the type that can't escape once I put them in a bad position and just start hammering them. Also, yes it is a reason to have the Commando worse than an Assault for having two light weapons. You trade raw power for flexibility, if you had both the Assault wouldn't have a reason to exist.

We used to complain about the assault being useless with the commando around. An ironic full circle: such is Dust. With Commandos it was inevitable. We warned CCP that trying to balance them with Assaults would be difficult and we were right. Cat Merc for C¦¦P¦¦M¦¦9¦¦ CPM Nyan! *Vote 'Keshava' for the new Gallente vehicle name!*

Talk to Kirk, Arkena, Cat, or pop in the Lucent fw channel for tips on how to make the GCom shine. I LOVE mine its one of my favorite suits, I run it often, and I still havent had to buy any since the event because I rarely die with it, using it properly. Gal Commando is a situational suit, and is honestly perfect for when the situation calls for AV in a hotzone. Can't afford losing AV or AP capability? Why not both then? They are also great for the same reason MinMandos are great, great direct damage from a rifle, and great suppression power from an explosive sidearm like the Mass Driver or Plasma Cannon. Both fill the role of flushing targets out of cover, albeit the Mass Driver does it better (Though it can't AV so that's fair). These suits only need some small help to get rolling, but CCP has to be careful with that. Overdo it and Commandos will tread all over Assaults, since both are so close in so many ways.
