5 high slots to stack extenders, which puts you at around Caldari assault eHP.
Inherent 1 armor hp/s regen, so you don't have to stick a repairer in the low.
So you get the same amount of lows (if the caldari uses a single repairer, which most do), while having the same HP.

And in addition you get the fastest suit in the game, which is what you want considering how broken the hit detection is in the game.

I'm not saying it's OP, just that it's probably one of the "done right" suits.
So whoever on the team created that, good job ;)

The two low slots are actually quite limiting, and sometimes one will be occupied by a CPU upgrade which just leaves you with one.

I'm not arguing about Caldari.
I 100% agree they are better, they are CCP's poster boy suits.
But out of Gallente, Amarr and Minmatar, Minmatar is the probably the best designed.

arguable, pretty much a guarantee one of those two low slots will be a CPU upgrade, so you're left with only one low...better hope you don't need a PG upgrade! minmatar logi is better than the assault by a mile, in my opinion.

Lol at ppl posting this when I start using it.

Anything > Gallente Assault
Those Heavies can't get here fast enough.

Caldari start with 50+ total hp. Skilling into the shield and armor skills, in the Caldari you get 25% over 210 = 52 and & 25% over 120 = 30, so with the Caldari you have 262 (shield) & 150 armor.

The Minmatar starts with 150 (shield) so you get like 37+ & 130 (armor) + 39 with maxed skills. So you start with something around 185 (shield) & 170 (armor). That make the Minmatar with a total of - 100 hp over the Caldari suit.

Plus the new bonuses for the Caldari will give them more shields. With maxed shield skills and full proto shield modules, the Minmatar reachs 550 (shield), you only have 2 low slots that you probably need to use with cpu & pg extenders because you spend all of them with the shield modules. while the Caldari has 3 low slots and it just need 4 high slots to reach more than 600 on shields.

About the speed? Did you even see the difference in the game of 0.4 speed? The numbers are very pretty, yay Minmatar has 0.4 more than Caldari. In the game, you run next to a Caldari for 1 minute and he can still reachs you with a shotgun. The speed difference is nothing.

Maybe do you want a nerf on the Minmatar suits too. Try to play the game first Iron Wolf Saber

Well, except for the Amarr, I say all logis are better than their assault counter parts >_>

I'll still take caldari assault over caldari logi any day, I move faster, sprint longer, recharge shields faster with less delay, and now i'll have more shields than caldari logis.

regnum makes the min assault look good, but i'd still take caldari assault over any other suit.

edit: gallente assault/logi with proto triage hives are unbeatable 1 on 1 unless you pop their hive/explode them rapidly

I dont get your debate on min vs cal assault. It 's just different play style.

Dont make it all about HPs.
