I do not mind the entire idea to give value to the AP bullets by making them do damage through the shield.
But there was no need for a double whammy of also making it so much slower to draw the shield.
It is already possible to shoot dozer while from his PoV you are still in his safe zone thanks to all the network related delays.
Are you trying to balance Dozer around the scenario that enough people play dozer together to make a Testudo formation?

@Lady_OneIt does not matter whether AP damage is lower than standard by 10 or 45 percent when you run across an open field (which happens very often in battlefield) and multiple snipers are firing at you from a kilometer away. You're still going to die after a couple of shots which you can no longer escape from, considering even before the nerf you had to avoid having your legs being shot. Not to mention cases where these snipers are shooting at you from very different angles and the only chance you had was to crouch back with your shield out.
Snipers that never play the objective wouldn't understand.
The odds that most the people even know or would bother to switch ammo to shoot a Dozer in the distance is comparable to NASA finding the perfect exoplanet to become Earth 2.0 soon
It is the people camping lanes in Redacted that you should worry about. These people are at distances good enough for use the NTW which comes with super armor piercing as a default for all the targets
Poor Dozer.
