Always remember, there is no weapon beside the shotgun that has enough alpha damage to make a sneak attack worthwhile. That means if you want to engage in combat with a scout, use a shotgun. Well, Nova Knives work too, but if you're willing to go down that road I can't help you anymore.

I will buy that the assault suit is this OP when my squad members report "three assaults inbound" with the same note of repressed panic that greets an equivalent number of heavies.

if assaults are so good at assaulting positions why do they get eqiopment slots? why are logi's just weaker assault suits?
the heavy is garbage...
people say it supposed to be good at point defense but you can hold the same position better with an assault than you can with the heavy, (slow turn speed, HMG does same damage as an AR with 4x the dispersion, horrible movement speed, has a larger hit box, survives only 1second more under fire than an assault with 1/2 the movement speed, no equipment slots)
commandos only advantage is carrying two primaries but their ehp is so low they die before they can even switch to their 2nd primary, their movement speed is only marginally better than a regular heavy, with no high or low slots.

Assaults can do everything and theirfore require nno additional suits. if you have a squad of 6 of assaults. one guy can have 3 guys can use av nades, 3 guys can use flux, 2 guys with drop uplinks, 2 guys with ammo hives, and 1 guy with a nanite injector and the last with a amor rep, and now you not only have an anti vehicle squad but a perfectly selfsuficent team that needs no logi and can defend points better than a heavy.

don't frget they still each can carry a godvolle or assault scrambler rilfe.

assaults can do everything better than everyone basically.

I love my basic scout suit, I got it for access to the pilot suit coming "soon" and I have surprising success with it, though I do need a better weapon for it. You have to maximise your strengths - your fast, manoeuvrable and can cover a hell of a lot of ground. You can speed hack unguarded locations, get into better shooting positions and drop uplinks in far flung positions to get the team back into the fight.

Something I've noticed is the strange firefight fixation everyone has. Maybe its cus I'm a logi most of the time (the nicely balanced MM one) so I can't go toe to toe with dedicated offensive suits but everyone lines up and gets shot at - hardest / most numerous / better shot wins - Seems so moronic to me, never heard of outflanking? Falling back to get to better ground where you have the advantage?

Anyway, I love it. Scout is definitely my next venture.

I stopped reading after the first sentence.
Do you have any clue how powerful logi suits are against assault suits?
Their penalty is minimal in comparison to what they gain.

headshots were amazingly easy to get due to the near non exsistant recoil
