Being the heaviest fighter that Liberty has to offer, the Avenger boasts increased energy output and armor comparing to the Guardian. However, that advantage comes at a price of maneuvrability, as well as the looks of the ship come at a price of its size: the top fin makes the ship look good (although, tastes differ), but also makes the vessel an easier target. In combat Avenger's low agility may become an issue, but that all depends. In duels you can make use of your firepower and armor by jousting or boxing (I've seen some people doing that rather well). Sliding can make you an easy target, so I'd advise not to do it. In large-scale battles there are two points you need to remember:
Also, Avenger's low agility may be a problem when you face more agile fighters, like the Sabre or the Bayonet (you will confront those ships within Liberty) or the Wraith (the main strike vessel of the Rheinland Military). So, the conclusion: Avenger is perfect for bomber/transport/gunboat interception, can be quite effective in fighter combat (especially in duels), but the agility may become a problem.
