That is a wonderful example of a selective and close minded view point on this, thank you.You fail to acknowledge any of the assault suit's advantages and how they may or may not cancel out the scout's advantages.

First off, profile and precision are only at a 5 point(10%) difference from the assault suit, yes you can still call that an advantage but you shouldn't get carried away just because you want to aimlessly defend the scout suit.

Strafe speed may be significantly higher then the assault type-I variations but not a big difference over the assault type-IIs, yes you do feel a difference when you play the suit, and I have to admit the scout does feel nicer, but from your enemy's view point (where it matters) there is hardly a difference at all when tracking it.

Now for the regen. True it is significantly higher and it does actually pay off in some situations but in my experience playing in both suits, the hp advantage the assault suit has pays off in more situations then the scouts lower hp but higher recovery. You can keep the scout suit in spots where it has the advantage but ultimately the play style required to exploit the fast regen can easily anchor you down in a match.

The most significant advantage I have found the scout suit to have is it's larger pool of stamina which allows you to sprint to objectives and move around the map faster on foot, but free LAVs

The assault suit has more slots and more cpu which allows it to be a far better asset then the scout can ever hope to be atm. If you'd like you can even put those slots to use and turn it into a scout suit with the right mods and still be more effective. The way scout suits are right now makes them more of a liability then an advantage and even if you do well in them it most likely just means your not playing to your full potential do to the suit's limitations, it makes me sad

btw this is the part where you say "sorry, I was wrong"

I love Scout cause I feel it challenged me (and I like the sprint speed and look) I play Scout very aggressive and foolishly. Instead of camping and hiding I rush and go into 1v1s playing to the Scouts weakness. 2 CShieldExtenders only give me 232 shields and 98 armor. That is EASILY melted by anything. I find myself losing some gunfights by some players that aren't even good (DMG Mods are a noobs favorite toy) I feel Scout need a significant speed advantage cause Sprint only is no speed advantage unless it is CLEARLY faster and not just barely faster. As far as the a Scout can sprint for ages and leave Assault behind most Assault can keep up with me some what ya I out run them but it's not by much. I wait for the day where CCP wakes up and realizes that Scout suits are pointless at the time. I wish everyday that I went Logi or Assault but will continue to stay Scout in hopes our day will come.

There's a mouse that lets you break the turn speed cap? That's news to me as well.In CQC, a good Scout can stay out of that HMG's line of fire by moving faster than the Heavy can turn. And the speed advantage over Assaults gives Scouts a (slightly) larger window in which it's possible, allowing for more of a margin for error than in the closest Assault suit to matching their speed.

as an avid scout user I can tell you they are not fine nor are they broken to the point of uselessness but, as I said above, they do need a buff and something that will help them at the start but has no consequence in the later stages of scouting.

I've actually seen that since I posted earlier. it's interesting.


That doesn't say they'll look at the disparity, which assumes that there is a disparity to look at. It says they'll look to see if there is a disparity or not, which is completely different. With how they've worded that, it's clear that there SHOULDN'T be a difference in max turning speeds between control schemes, and if there is, it's a bug and will be fixed.

I haven't personally seen evidence of this, and I haven't seen confirmation from CCP that they consider it any more than a concern to be investigated, so while it's possible it's true, I'm still viewing it as a rumour until I see evidence of it for myself. If and when that happens, cool, but at the moment, I'm happy that CCP are investigating it as a possible problem while people are reporting it as such.
