With no doubt, the most prevalent Assault suit fielded is the Minmatar Assault. Players state that it benefits from broken strafing speeds, hit detection, and what not. I will disagree. When Scouts were the dominant suits played and when the Assault mk.0 already had it's 4/4 slot layout, no one complained about it being OP. However, when cloak delays, passive scans, and a few others things were introduced/added to better balance Scouts, more players flocked to the MinAss which in turn has led many to shift their negative nerf focus onto something else.
The Minmatar Assault does not need to be nerfed. It is a decent suit that only suffers from the stigma of it being a supposed FoTM. It is not necessarily better than the other Assaults and it certainly is not "broken" in any of its aspects. This further brings me to question why players are neglecting what the Amarr, Caldari, and Gallente have to offer. Their Assaults are just as deadly and are just as capable. Take a look at these example fittings.
Assault ak.0
Complex Light Weapon Damage Modifier x2
Complex Sidearm Damage Modifier
Complex Armor Repairer x2
Complex Ferroscale Plates x3
Viziam ScR
SMG
M1 Locus Nades
X-3 Quantum Nanohives
-This example fitting does not suffer from speed penalties, has a 21 hp/s armor repair rate, can deal massive amounts of damage due to modifiers, and has a total of 820 or so eHP. With the inherent bonus of reduced heat build-up, the AmAssault makes an excellent platform for all-purpose, all-range slaying.
Assault ck.0
Complex Shield Extender x3
Complex shield Energizer
Complex Shield Recharger
Complex Ferroscale Plate x2
Complex Shield Regulator
Ishukone Assault RR
SMG
Core Locus Nades
X-3 Quantum Hives
-Like the Amarr Assault, this fit also does not suffer from any speed penalties. It has 900 total eHP, a 76 hp/s shield recharge rate, and enough armor buffer to ensure that one does not instantly die after losing all shields. The Ishukone Assault RR performs well at long range and can even be managed properly to be effective in close range. The only bane to this suit would be anything fitted with a shield based weapon, but because of the prevalence of CR use, this fitting should have no problems making quick work of even dual-tanked MinAssaults.
Assault gk.0
Complex Shield Extender
Complex Light Damage Modifier x2
Complex Armor Repairer
Enhanced Armor Repairer
Complex Ferroscale Plate x3
Allotek Burst AR
SMG
Core Locus Nades
X-3 Quantum Nanohives
-Due to having the same slot layout of the Amarr, of course this fit would be similar. With no speed penalties, a 20 hp/s armor rep, 850+ eHP, and a main weapon that has a better damage profile than the ScR with no overheat drawbacks, the Gallente Assault makes for one deadly slayer at both close-quarters and medium ranged engagements.
So, why aren't you guys using these suits? |

Perhaps the vets did use other suits but they got tired of them after 6 months and went minmatar for something new.
I have got gallente, amarr, minmatar, and caldari assaults, heavies, commandos, scouts, but I have currently switched to melee minmatar scouts (I haven't respected SP) for some different gameplay flavor.
The std minmatar medium frames are good melee suits as well. (assuming you have PRO melee mods) |

I don't approve of that Gal spread.
One, use an Ion Pistol instead of a fugly rusted SMG. I know the Minnie's are our allies but come on.
Take out the nanohives for a Flux nade, our weapon and flux combo is deadly, let us use that.
Why burst? Just go Duvolle.
I'm iffy on that High slot layout...it bugs me for some reason...

I have already lost a G/1 w/ CreoBrAR, A/1 w/ CRW-04, and ck.0 w/ Ishy ARR, to MinAss of all tiers in ridiculous situations. The last fitting pounded two clips into a stationary - then wiggling - M/1 without so much as a scratch, but much blue-shielding.
Every assault counter, considering weapon profile and hP resistances, failed, and I need to use a scout or sentinel to put one down before it gets the chance to wiggle.
An ak.0 is dead to me, but an mk.0 can dance with impunity.
Please buff my Magsex. It doesn't hit hard enough...

For the amount of armor, shield, stamina, stamina regen, and speed that a Min assault gets compared to the rest of the suits in the game, you'd have to mentally disabled to believe that the "Min Assault isn't OP."

Minmatar assault has stamina and speed like a scout, same hp and regen as other assaults.
I feel that it's too good, but in the other hand rest is very good too.
Since i have 3 assaults to counter each other [Cal for Min, Amarr for Cal, Min n Amarr for Amarr] i don't have problems with them.
Min n Amarr also for killing galls.

Any vet can usually tell the make up of a fit in game by putting their weapon over your character... So its not like its something special.

as much as i love the min assault (vX.1) i have a fondness for my gallente too, it took a long time to get it to where its at now and actually be usefull but its a great suit. i just fit it almost as same as my amarr too with 5 complex reactives, 3 complex damage mods. such an easy setup nothing razzmatazz about it but it does the job.
but tbh i'm still seeing fair amounts of different assault suits, mainly amarr and minmatar with the lasers and six kins but i still see plenty of caldari or gallente with ARR's running around

Whether the minmatar assault is op or not does not concern me, I already have my Assault Ak.0,God's hand thus I am already happy.
In all seriousness however the Minmatar assualt is just as versatile as other suits but having an advantage in speed which is quite the factor to have when in a game such as dust
How many amarr does it take to change a light bulb? none. The minmatar do it for them
