I could get into a tank fight with someone, and end up dying when i still have half of my armor left. Please make health depletion a little fast so I can accurately gauge how much health I have left? |

You're in a tank? Like...a militia tank?
If you're using a Caldari tank, chances are your armor will be totally wiped out in one shot since they have paperthin armor. Hell this is somewhat true for advanced Caldari tanks as well. |

I guess I don't understand what your qualms are then. You mean the tanks dont take damage fast enough? |

I've also been in a gun fight on foot where im activly watching my shield scroll down and when it gets low then i start to move to my cover, but suddenly im dead and my "armor" just scrolls from full to nothing while im in the "dying" state. A little frustrating when you had cover to dive in. |

What he's saying is that the Shield/armor gauge isn't updating as fast as he's taking damage. So according to his gauge he has half health, but suddenly he's in the death screen with armor left on the gauge. I've seen this a couple of times and chalked it up to lag and my bad connection, maybe not if others are getting it regularly as well though. |

sounds like that last shot took more than half your armor when it hit you |

Thankyou for rewording it. I thought he was asking for the health to actually BE lower. Which i would have been been against. |

Main trait for any Caldari tech is tough outside with super squishy insides.  |

There is a thing to learn. For instance Caldari use shields. if you look at the stats, they have a lot of it. However their armour is extremely low.
The opposite is Gallente. Their shields are practically non existent, but they have a lot of armour instead.
This means that if you are in a Caldari Vehicle, with half armour, you are in trouble, unlike Gallente.
The shield + armour does add up to more or less the same between the two.
This lack of knowledge on new players is quite annoying really. When I get hit by a swarm launcher, it'll take out my shield immediately. All of it. And my gunners jump out fearing I'm about to blow up.
Needless to say, I'm not.
Yet.
But it is on occasion hilarious. I find it most accommodating by the enemies, when they run up to me with their militia assault riffles, thinking they can take me down when I have no shield.
Easy targets aplenty. |

Where Gallente LOOK cute and nice with their rounded look, but have tough hides, in silk sheaths.

I tend to kill Caldari Militia tanks in 2 shots. 1 takes 90% of their shield, the second everything else.
The Gallente Militia tanks is the other way, I get well into their armour with the first shot, then the rest.
LAV's are OHK's and would be easy if they weren't so bloody fast  |
