You are all idiots for the fact that not every single module might be used for your taste. See if you were a sophisticated person that thought it about other roles you would get something out of it one that doesn't give speed penalties can make characters faster like scouts and even minimatar users. Also the one which gives health reps and armour gives you a two in one instead of getting the normal 2hp repair you can put it on with armour great for logi's because they love there armour reps and also in smart user that wants to have the proto armour rep and the proto armour/&rep on a character with no stacking penalty so I mean it has it's uses if you had some above common since but now adays players like OP so they want it boosted just like they like the explosions of OP Flaylocks to the point that if you run drops your killed if you dont have a lot of shield also they do good damage to armour vehicles and if the hit LAV's or Dropships they tilt badly to the side so I mean the game isn't about OP things it's about having good tactics to help you overcome red dots and even blue berries. Your hate mail can be sent to me or even as a comment because most of you know I am right or maybe I am just stubborn.

They are useless when used with each other, for example stacking 5 reactive plates is impossible.

The reactive plates are really only good for shield tankers too, as any armor tanker would just use a plate and a repper. all this does is let a shield tanker get a bit more of a buffer and have armor repairs while still having room for a regulator or cpu/pg boost or whatever else.

OP, before calling a large number of people idiots and claiming that you're sophisticated, perhaps you should actually spend a moment's thought thinking about the issues?
You clearly don't understand.

There usefull it's just that you have to know the secret.

Getting 1 higher HP armor modules and 1 speed boosters grants a difference of -5 hp and +2% speed boost over two proto ferroscale plates

Meaning ferroplates allow you to trade away a 2% speed boost for 5 more hp. Ferroplates are only one skill category and the above take two skill categories. So they have their uses if not to otherwise allow more control over your fits in the slots you have remaining.

Essentially they help with min maxing.

Well I do both armour Tanking and Shield Tanking I have my prefered turrets with them I use proto Rails on Madrugars or an ADV Blaster then for Shield ADV Missiles and at times a stabalized blaster but see you have to know what you like I have my classes on how I like for certain situations so understand some things are for a certain persons way of doing things because you just have to fit a fitting for that situation and switch the Tank or suit for the right condition of battle if the team has a lot of AV grenades on them or swarms either use a shield tank or lol use some effin MLT because Reds love blowing up things that say they can get good money on that game

This is concerning the infantry balance, not the vehicle balance.
