The pilot dropsuit will obviously be a poor infantry suit with a low amount of slots so its meant to be inside a vehical, as the name suggest. However, if these bonuses they add to vehicals are not worth the SP sink then the suit will be worthless as whole. The bonuses to vehical must be heavy, 5% increase to HP per level will not be enough at all.
For instance, a gunlogi has 3250 sheilds. 25% of that is 812.5 and with how hardcore AV is that is a joke. even a 50% buff is extremely minor, a standard forge or swarm can match a %)% bonus with damage mods and some proficiency. In EVE ships often revived enormous bonuses like 100-500% increase to stat X. With assult forgeguns doing over 2000 damage a shot i would assume that a 100% increase to vehicals HP would be barely efficient. That doubling a tanks primary tanking HP is minimal of what a fully skilled Pilot Dropsuit should do for its vehical. Im sure itl do other things as well but for Vehical tanking ability, 100% looks about right. Opinions? |

However I don't think Eve is a good place to draw numbers from due to it not having an infantry element. Without infantry having effective AV, then there is little point to skill into infantry.
In eve they increased stats by crazy numbers like 1 to 5 hundred percent becuase it was needed to balance the ship and make it unique, wich is exactly what all vehicals need in dust, not just tanks. More balance and its own unique way of playing them. The bonuses on the pilot suit could make dust vehicals more like an eve starship in that reguard |

Suit bonuses arent suppose to be overwhelming.
If you intend to be a pilot, I'm sure most people will roll as one simply because you'll benefit 1000x more than using an infantry boosted Dropsuit.
Yes, all vehical users will use this suit no matter how weak it will most likely be. It is an advantage and all vehical users (with the exception of the lavs) need all the help they can get because vehicals are very underpowered to AV. The pilot suit has the ability to balance this issuie rather than "make a vehical survive one more shot" < - - - -(and prolly get blown up anyways) |
