Caldari Sentinels and arguably the Minmatar as well, use shields as their main tank, so they have an innate 15% resistance against it.

Believing that this is the balancing factor is ignorant. That innate resistance equates to about 10% or 6% resistance depending on which armour heavy you go up against (damage mods). The armour heavies also have shields that benefit from this resistance which is likely to not be contested by damage mods when going against shield heavies.

That's not what ignorant means...? Armor heavies have around 400 shields, while the Caldari can reach up to what? Low 700s? That 300 makes a huge difference when going up against another HMG, so what is your point again?

Did you not just read what you quoted me on?

That innate resistance equates to about 10% or 6% resistance depending on which armour heavy you go up against (damage mods). Paired with their resistance and subsequent more eHP they are better, more specifically the amarr sentinel.

Sorry, I am not trying to insult you.

I didn't even mention the resistance rate in my second point, just raw shield eHP. I don't know what you're trying to prove, but 10% more won't really do THAT much better against 300 raw shield HP. As for the 6%, I'm not quite sure. I didn't take it as an insult. I just happen to see more shield heavies winning 1v1 against an armor heavy of both are same tier and fitted well. If you have numbers that I can go on, by all means post them. Numbers don't lie. I'm just too lazy to do it myself through mobile.
