Vehicles or Infantry?
Vehicles - Armor for other Tanks, Shields for Infantry
Dropsuits - Shields for everything, Armor to die quickly |

The LAV part is extremely wrong.
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. |

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. |

If only more people used scrambler rifles like me. 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? |

I hate agreeing with an Amarr but this is fact (IMO).
Duel tanking is where it's at.
That is all. Eriknaught out. END TRANSMISSION. |

I do. 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. |

With the Scrambler Rifle I get plenty of fan mail from OHK'ing people. Gotta love them charged shots. |

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... |
