Caldari Scout is pretty good, potentially the best or second best Scout. Scouts as a whole seem like strong suits because they are capable of moving very quickly and being Cloaked. It is a suit that has a powerful role. All Scouts also have INCREDIBLE Shield stats.
Assault is weak. It isn't much different than a Frame.
Logistics is weak. Nanohives don't give much WP so a Caldari Logistics isn't going to be farming that hard. There is also the fact that they don't have the CPU to fit their stuff very effectively, meaning they give up an Equipment slot for an extra Low slot (compared to the Gallente) but that slot is usually a CPU enhancer.
Sentinel is weak. Sentinels are meant to close range guys, guarding a point. Shields are terrible in a stand up fight and the most powerful thing in the game is probably HMG + Repair Tool, meaning a Caldari Sentinel is not going to work that well.
Calmando is probably the second best Commando but there is a light year distance difference between them and Minmando.
I would give all Caldari suits the Scout treatment and buff up their inherent Shield Recharge and lower Delays. Playing a Caldari Scout with a bunch of Shield Extenders feels better than playing the Caldari Assault with whatever fitting because of the downright awesome shield stats. For the Sentinel, that is a hard fix given that Shields are antithetical to the role of the Sentinel. Just my opinion.

You just cant run in the middle of a firefight like a raging dumbass. QFT Keep the distance & CalAss is badass as ****.
So if other suits can do the same thing (don't take damage) but the Caldari Assault is unable to do Rambo while the others can, how does that show that the Caldari Assault is not inherently weaker?
"Without mentioning a weapon as any suit can utilize the Rail Rifle as well as the Caldari Assault, what makes Caldari Assault better at fighting at range?"
Range has more to do with a weapon and "Shields recharge!" is not an advantage held solely by the Caldari. An Amarr Assault can swap Plates for Repairers and do the ranged recharge fighter thing too. The difference, however, is that the Amarr suit is not piegeonholed into that role.
"Fight at range or flank" is another way of saying "play better to overcome how crap your suit is." That applies to everyone and other suits don't have to be crap
