I've always wondered why the shield/armor resist bonuses are already applied in the stats for AFs yet they are applied on top of the stats for HACs? Could someone please shed some light on this?
Is this an oversight or deliberate nerfing of AFs? Personally, I'd prefer if the AFs were also given the same benefits of the HACs, making them slightly tougher as befitting a tech 2 ship. Apart from tanking, their role seems to be superceded by intys.
Cheers
Izzy.

They're pre-applied? I didn't know that.

It is probably a dev doing the different descriptions at different times, and probably thinking that there's no use for calculating the enhanced resists as you need the full base skill anyway.

Superceded by inties?
I'd love to see an inty snipe other frigs from 100km. Harpy + t2 ammo 4tw.
But tbh, the resists thing seems a moot point as you need frig or cruiser 5 to pilot the assault version anyhow, so it works out to be pretty much the same. Also, remember that af's are MUCH harder to hit than HAC's and take FAR less damage from missiles, adding a very real boost to survivability. You could bounce cruise missiles of a well tanked af all day and hardly scratch it.

You could setup a moa to do that same job, only better, and it could have 5-10x the tank.

All ships are intended to be balanced for their end-state attributes. A skill-bonus is not an advantage, but instead a time sink until you can fill your niche properly.
The only thing that can be an advantage is module or gang stacking in a particular attribute.
