The Phantom is useless - Ayatolah - 01-26-2012

i have a Phantom, that thing is funny to fly, but yes....a big too large for a LF, but in favor i have to say that is very responsive to maneuvers, also, the idea given of turning into a HF is rather good


the Hyena is THAT large? i knew that thing was big.... but now i understand the rants about it:)

If you really want to see something too large for lf then check Griffin, Hyena.

Also I would like to see loki/phantom size comparison if someone would be that kind. It's one of main phantoms opponents in LF class. They share other similiarities too such as: increased armor b/b's and torp slot. So instead of comparing phantom to VHF compare it to Loki. Loki is big for the light fighter as well, yet I saw no-one ever complaining that it's a bad ship.

Leave the phantom alone.

Ever wonder why hardly anyone flies it? It's a nippy little b*stard if you can get the turning just right in a fight, JUST right. But on the other hand it's the only light fighter you can get away with mounting Rheinland weaponry on (which by the way is pretty fudgeing good). It's a suppressive tool as opposed to a lethal one.

I've seen a squadron of RFP officials neutralise three consecutive raiding parties in Berlin within an hour, caps and all. Which proves if you've got quick reactions and patience then you'l give a sabre a run for it's money in one of these things.

Aha!, and now is at par with the loki in terms of firepower, indeed, i would like to see the comparison, i have seen lokis and they're rather large for a LF

Unlike phantom, which is pretty fast in turning and responsivness. Corsair one is huge and slow as well

The Hyena could be a SHF :x

So please dont mess with my Phantom.
Perhaps. The Hessians can actually use something like this, but the Wraith kind of makes a 'heavy light fighter' fairly redundant. The Wraith is fast enough to get behind other VHFs fairly competently and, of course, has light VHF armament.

the problem is not that the hyena or the phantom are big, the liberator is awfully small!
