It would be reasonable if we had at least 40-50% more HP than a shield suit, but we have a less HP than them. With the current mechanics explosive damage is extremely unfair. Flux grenade affect everybody equally, but explosives only affect armor suits effectively. There is also no weapon that does high damage against shields, I thought the forge gun did but its actually another 70/130 weapon.

I have to say that all thought shields still seems superior to amor in most aspects- what Ive noticed is that CCP gave armor tankers more options- These options have allowed us to gain speed and regenerative properties- thus we have made that step towards balance because that what shield tankers ultimately have- lost of tank and very few penalties-

What i think now is that the amount of shields a person can stack without penalty is whats pressing- If i stack 600hp worth of armor - its all going to get taken away in a grenade blast but for shields 600 hp is a pretty substantial amount of chewing for most weapons to accomplish - but I have also notice that if armor tankers do not charge into battle and play their cards right they can excel further than most shield tankers

1- triage hives for all armor tankers

2- dropsuit kinetics

these are two important aspects of all shield tankers-

3- play the back field

Armor has more HP but that survivability from the HP is completely countered by speed decreases, and thus it devalues the HP. When we try to mitigate the speed penalty to reasonable levels we end up with lower HP, lower repair, and lower speed than a shield suit. Flux do affect everyone equally because a fluxed then flaylocked shield suit will die just as fluxed then flaylocked armor suit. Although it hurts armor suits a lot more since we cannot recover from fluxes as fast.

Explosive damage should be 90/110, or 100/120.

Forge gun should be flipped to 1 shot shield suits and 2 shot armor suits, even out the playing field once the armor killers show up, 5/8 of the new weapons to be released are going to be armor killers, and the 3 shield killers only one will be a heavy shield killing weapon, and the only heavy shield killing weapon.

Funny; if you take a look at this, You'll learn that more damage types types do more damage to armor (3:5), and there's 4 more weapons that do more damage to armor.......

By new weapons, do you mean the ones released on the 14th or the ones coming out soon(tm)?
If it's the former, the plasma cannon is hybrid (though that lolsplodes everything anyway if you actually hit with it).
If it's the latter, then the rail rifle is hybrid. The combat rifle is solid ammunition.
EDIT: Wait wtf, the rail rifle does more damage to armour?!

Also,

This is not correct.
1 flaylock shot does not kill a shield tanker unless they're terribly fit/militia and it's a core flaylock.
1 flaylock shot generally doesn't kill a proto armour tanker, but it's capable of killing advanced suits in 1 shot sometimes.

Kinetic Catalyzers and Shield Regulators should be moved to high slots.

Black Star - you have some really good points- I recently have been trying to assemble play style for the gallente logi and the gallente assault- I do not think that armor and shield are equal, but the benefit of armor is not as obvious and maybe me you and some other people can figure out how to exploit armor

So for fun I thought I'd write down some of the arguments I've heard over this campaign. Please join in if you have a good one.
4. Armor is fine because of rep guns and nanohives.
While 3 is my favorite this one is my most infuriating. Look, it is a nice bonus to armor to have outside repair sources when shields don't but to there's a reason for this. Armor has no natural repair rate. Most shields are back up before a they could be substantially repaired, the exception being the new commando suit and its 10 hp a sec.
My real reason this pisses me off is that it creates a barrier between solo play and group play. Shields are fine for both while armor would only be good for one. It's an insidious statement that allows for continued imbalance under the guise of unique game play.
The reason why people make this statement is false attribution, people working together will be more effective, doesn't matter if you're a shield tanker or an armor tanker. So when people see or are more effective in a group of armor tankers they assume it's because of the armor but I would say it's for the team work. Team play is a force multiplier which is hard to account for when measure effectiveness.
