Only because of the low PG they gave the Methana. Currently the Caldari (shield) LAV is the best one to use because of the AV weapon situation all being explosive based.

Or You are using the word factually wrong. The only thing really hurting armor is that the most commonly used weapons have a 20% damage bonus against armor- grenades. If we had miasma or fusion grenades as the default anti-infantry, armor wouldn't be at such a disadvantage.

I can strip a proto cal logis shields with one charged shot plus 2 uncharged after that to finish off their little bit of armor.

So we're ignoring armor speed nerf and shield superior recovery without the need for support?

Ever since uprising I've been using Scrambler Rifles. ARs are too boring IMO.

I even use Triage Nanohives on my Logi-Command suit. And it's still inferior to the shield recovery and resistance to explosives. Oh and I can't dodge or jump worth **** compared to shield tankers.

Seriously, I've been using the AR since beta and got sick of it in Chrome. First next weapon I tried was the MD since I had so many EXO-5s as salvage and it was true love the moment I pulled the trigger. It's a PITA to aim with and a severe handy cap against "Old reliable," but the fan mail I get makes it all worthwhile.

Gotta love them charged shots.
Dynnen Vvardenfell 187. League of Infamy 24	Posted - 2013.07.26 00:13:00 - [23] - Quote Amor obviously. Because Amor conquers all!
ADP Silenced Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.07.26 01:08:00 - [24] - Quote Let us not forget about CPU usage for both Armor and Shields, which play a big role in deciding what module setup you want... Armor, due to its less CPU requirement lends for more flexibility when deciding on what mods to consider...For example, 2 damage mods and 2 speed mods can be considered much more easily with room to spare on an armor tank than with shield tanking...
