These plates are more useful to shield tankers than armor tankers, that's why you have all these scrubs without a clue about the problems with armor tanking, and how these don't address them, coming in here saying how awesome these new plates are.
Thanks CCP, great job!  |

Thanks CCP, great job! Again, armor tanking versus shield tanking doesnt matter, at all. You can do one or both. If you have some weird philishophical reason you NEED to armor tank and therefore it NEEDS to be the same as shield in all sense, well I'm sorry. There is no reason the two tanking need to fulfill similar roles. Armor tanking can be worse in a lot of ways that shield tanking, it doesnt make any balance bad. Explain to me why you need your build to revolve around armor tanking?
Because my suit has a 3/5 layout. Did you really need someone to spell out such an obvious reason?
People don't tank with "weird philishophical [sic] reasons," they tank with what their suit can fit.

Oh wow nice edit, so your answer to armor tanking being inferior to shield tanking is that people just shouldn't use armor suits?
I guess a game in which we all use Cal Logis would be balanced. Great idea let's do it. |

ITT: Lots of people who have never tried armor tanking regurgitate a lot of misconceptions about how armor tanking works in an attempt to educate those who actually use it. |

The recharge delay on assault and logi suits mean that for most engagements the amount of shield repped is almost always going to be less than armor tanks.
The fact is most suits in this game cannot tank for very long unless they are fitting tank in every slot. When you factor in an armor tank doing 19% more damage output, and repping during the fight vs a shield fit's larger buffer, no damage mods and no reps during the fight who comes out ahead?
The guy with Complex Shield Extenders. Feel free to do the math if you don't believe me, it's been done several times. |

For all you shield tankers in here who like to keep saying "But you can use Damage Mods!", this is why that doesn't work, at all. Even if doing so wasn't inferior to begin with. No Shield Extenders on an armor suit = free kill for every explosive weapon in the game. |
