So does anyone else think that cap injectors give armor tanking ships a huge advantage over Caldari and assorted shield tanking Minmatar ships? No
Shield tankers utilize their medium slots for their tank and any additonal medium slots are typically used to enforce the tank (Ex. Cap Rechargers, Capacitor Batteries, Cap Injectors). Those ships that don't use a proper shield tank are typically obliterated by Armor tanking ships because they can't utilize the medium slots in the same fashion. In addition, there are no low slot modules short of the Power Diagnostic that effectively help a shield tank. This paragraph has me confused. I honestly can't decypher exactly what you are moaning about.
Armor tankers on the other hand can not only fit a tank but thanks to cap injectors, they can also field webbers, scramblers, sensor backups... virtually any medium slot EW or anti-EW module they need and all at once. Ok, now I'm starting to understand your misperceptions. Have you ever flown a 3 or 4 smid-slot armor tanking ship? And of those mods that have low slot variations such as eccm do you really think backup arrays do squat with 30% per level bonused ecm on Caldari recons? Your statement is so wrong If you tried to fit a scrambler, webber, and sensor backup on a Caldari ship all at once, you'd be a deadman. Recently i've been unlucky enough to encounter well organized, spider-tanking-station huggers. "Recently"? You must be new to the game. Learn more before you op. These guys didn' even use low slot armor reppers but rather high slot RR's which opened their low slots for further tank. The shield tanking ships they did use were called primary and taken out with ease.
My argument here is that cap injectors put Armor tankers at an incredible advantage over shield tankers who can't afford to give up medium slots. Does anyone have a solution other then "Don't fly anything that shield tanks"? Should cap injectors be nerfed?
Boils down to this- You seem to think armor tanking ships are blessed with mid-slots. You fail to understand the benefits of shield tanks. You probably think that if you can't create a ridiculous passive regen shield tank then you are without a tank. Those station huggers you bemoan were playing as a team. Kudos for them. It has nothing to do with cap injectors (even ceding to your faulty premise that shield tanks cannot fit a cap injector(s)). You obviously have never encountered a bait Scorpion either. Learn more before you op.
