You're seriously leaning towards assault despite the fact the only two things it does better than logi is base health and a sidearm? You can make up for that base health with an armor plate in the extra low slot the logi has, so really just better in the aspect it has a sidearm and logi doesn't. Maybe I'm biased, being an only logistics player, but I don't see how you can compare the prototype models and see an advantage in assault.
Comparing standard or advanced models there are clear advantages to certain aspects of each suit, but once you get to prototype, logi seems kinda overpowered and an obvious choice to me.

Proto logi. 4 complex damage mods. 4 armor rep nano hives. 4 armor plates. proto weapon. nuff said.

4 armor plates?
If you're using the good stuff that's a 10% decrease in speed per plate, totaling -40% speed, with only a roughly 450 bonus, and I say only 450 because a militia heavy could do better than that and still move fast enough to get out of the spawn point before the game ends.

Personally I would stack four complex shield extenders, one enhanced armor plate(that's the advanced one), two complex armor reppers, and a kinetic booster, and then nanite injector, nanohive, rep tool, and drop uplinks.

the thing about logi are you gonna be a logi or run around killing. seeing a red dot in distance that was wrecking your team then a downed teammate same distance but in opposite directions which one would you go for? pretty much are you gonna fit your logi to kill or to support the killers? you cant do both efficiently if you wanna kill go assault but if you want to support go logi

Yeah, I understand what you're saying, that's why I'm just leaning to Assault. My problem with Logi is that by the time you add that armor to even out the hit points, you've taken away some of the other Logi benefits. So, I add that armor or shield module to make up the 55 HP, there goes my CPU, PG, speed (if you add armor), and the extra module slot. Then it's just a choice between having three equipment or two...two weapons or one.

I know Logi has more stamina and stamina recovery. Assault has a shorter time for shields to kick in by .2 seconds (yipee). Are there any others I'm not thinking of?

logi has a better sprint than scouts btw

[quote=crazy space 1]logisuits 10% bonus to hacking speed: Is this true? I remember hearing this but when i tried to look up the stats I couldnt verify it...

lol since when became logis OP? They where allways the bottomline. And having no sidearm can be fatal, i cant say how many times a SMG saved my butt cause ive run out of ammo in a firefight. Another thing is assaults can go AV and still be aible to defend themself with a sidearm while the logi gets screwed hard. And people forget that logis seem to have allmost the same big hitbox like heavys and i dont really call that a "advantage". Another factor is that a squad of proto assaults wont need a logi due to the 2 equipment slots. Basically 2 guys have nano hives and injectors and the other 2 have repair tools and injectors. Perfect squad balance right there without a logi.

That topic has a good point. There are many flaws regarding the assault suit compared to high tier logi suits.
The side arm itself is a very low compensation compared to logi suits with at least 2 equip slots, 20% more PG\CPU, and better speed and movement than assault.

How in hell can a logistic end up being a better solution to be a fast DPS character than an assault ? Logi can pretty much do everything and there's definitely something to be done so the assault suit doesnt end up being fully useless.

Cause yeah, a sidearm wont matter when everybody starts going for reload proficiency, capacity profiency and runs proto with its own hive so he never runs out of ammo.

sidearm matters when you carry a swarm launcher, mass driver or any other weapon that cant be use in close combat well.

Agreed. But an AR dude DPS oriented is better off with a logi suit on every aspects : fitting, slots, equipment, etc... Which is odd.

And even before the vk1 vs vk1. The Logi b-serie is already better imo to go AR DPS than the assault B-serie.

As for the Proto assaults equipping injectors and repair tools, I'm wondering if they will be able to have the CPU for anything above standard equipment and still fit advanced+ modules/weapons, whereas the vk1 logi will basically be 2 assaults in one for equipment, don't forget the force multipliers that mines are.
