Come on you guys know the Assault suit is the best suit.
The logi suit is the best BALANCED suit, that's the difference.

Admit it.

Type 2,B,vk1 Assault suits have basically the same shield recharge delay as the Scout suit, but more than DOUBLE the shield capacity, and all you need is one good recharger, to match the actual shield recharge rate.
That same shield capacity and recharge rate, allows it to engage Heavies in 1v1 situations on the regular, with impunity.

I know this, because I play Assault now. Less headaches. Easy mode. No need to use your brain, specialize and adapt. Just look at something and it dies. Oh yeah, and strafe a little bit when fighting other ARs.

Having a kb/m helps too.
With how things are, it's a noob weapon on a noob suit, that convinces noobs that they're hot $hit.
Of course, it doesn't work well against a well coordinated squad... but it really is an irritating "jack-of-all-trades" class. CORRECTION: "master of all trades".

Actually, that's exactly what its supposed to be.
General use suit, while heavies and scouts and logis fill their own special role.

It will change when more items are added rite now you can come from another fps and use an AR because they are already use to it well unless they use a sniper or shotgun

The scrambler rifle says hello and to quit your bitching.

Nothing competes with an assault suit except assault suits, as it should be. They are supposed to be good a everything but not the best in every situation. In the current build a heavy can walk around in the open with a HMG and not worry. I think we should think about what the suits and weapons are geared toward and ask ourselves if they are staying true.

HMG - Medium range, high damage? It should be close range, high damage
FG - Anti-everything sniper? Should be AV
AR -Long range, high damage? Should be medium range, medium damage.

I think that these new stats will help with true specialization we will enjoy it more once we get over not have the candy and rainbows build. I hope things get hardcore, the game has been on easy mode.

Proto vk.0 with three complex armor plates and three complex shield extenders comes out to about 900 health with level 4 in both shield control and mechanics. You statistically cant fit a fourth armor plate and still be able to run a weapon. So that's about as heavy as you can make an assault suit. The vk. 1 is similar accept most its health is in shields. and it gets a little more hp...... (about 50 if im not mistaken).

The type 1 heavy suit with the same skills, one enhanced armor plate and two complex shield extenders nets about
1100 hp......

If everyone keeps complaining every time they have trouble with another class this game is not going anywhere. I run an assault class and it is not as OP as you are suggesting. Could be because I don't use proto gear, but then that's another topic to discuss. In my experience it would be insane to go against even STD HMGs alone in close range, even in medium range you have to be careful. LRs can still overpower you at long ranges.

The only reason why other class users are so mad at assault is because it is more mobile and allows for more kills, hence it is much more popular than the other classes. You can't expect to go all over the map in a heavy or sniper in search for kills, these classes are for defending a position. Assault on the other side is for offensive and you can't expect an offensive class to be unable to defend itself at medium or long ranges.
