You're doing it wrong. Range, speed, precision, and damp are your friend.

1. ScR has almost same range as RR but with pin point accuracy. Speed does nothing because Aim Assist. Precision takes away from tank and scouts will still sneak up on you. Damp does nothing against Gallante logistic suits.

Btw, what you described is a Caldari Scout. The Assault can't do most of the things you listed without gimping itself. The Setinel for Caldari definitely can't do any of the above.

You seem to be asking for a shield suits that has no weaknesses. The game don't have that for armor or shield tankers.

against assaults with short range weapons, ewar can help you in CQC, regen and/or speed can help you at range (not straffing, I meant better control over having a constant engagement range)

against assaults with long range weapons, a few CPU mods and PG mods (with shield hp mods, or damage mods if you have good aim), std cloak at long range to help you observe those that speed across open ground, ambush them at long range from behind. Or use a adv or PRO scanner to observe assaults through cover, wait until they are in open ground, kill from long range with (speed and dmg mods) or (regen suit) or (brick tank) or (shield tank and speed) etc

many other playstyles (they are usually always guerilla warfare when using shield assaults)

Use caldari sentinels for being slow with (high tank and moderate regen) or (high regen and moderate hp) (if I remember correctly, it is a playstyle slightly similar to most caldari EVE ships) (camping at long range, slow at changing between camping spots), best use a long range light weapon. (or use dmg mods with a hmg and flank careless enemies who are preoccupied in a firefight)

Any combination of those 3. A reduction to recharge delays to calAss. Then we caldari assault users will feel some equality. (ads kick + reload per level too please please please) The ADS tourney!

(or use dmg mods with a hmg and flank careless enemies who are preoccupied in a firefight) Um.... Not to be rude or anything... But I'm honestly going to ask if you use the Caldari assault? Because you are essential telling us to take a special fit suit (where it is only effective if you build it specifically for specific purpose, and calass is either special fit, or gimped. There aren't really any freedoms in fitting until 1 low slot at proto. Which is why it's special fit, a fit for simple survival.) EWAR? Gimps fit, either lose sHP or sHP/s. Or increase delays. You'll run a weak scout basically. CPU? PG? Suicidal. If i had a C/1, i should stick with enhanced, or one complex fitting permitted. If i cpu/pg, i increase delays, for no benefit. if I'm already squeeze fitting, I'll use both low slots to increase my resources, gimping my fit even more. Cloak on cal assault? ... Lol i won't lie i do have a cloak c/1, but unfortunately... It means I'll be doing scouting reports to my squad and watching our flanks. Not really assaulting... Also, that fit is severely sub-par. I can only fit basic... And a comp reg as always. I use every ounce of PG, and have about 5 cpu left over. It really isn't the best thing you could do. I know it definitely isn't the best for pro calass, you're already squeeze fitting for it to be effective. So.... Do you calAss? The ADS tourney! Join today!
