The model is great, a really well-thought out attempt that screams vanilla.
The stats are up to devs, so whatever, don't give a damn. I do agree though, that this should definitely be a potent HF, like the GMG Karasu is.
One thing though: 'Dragoon' is an inappropriate name. It is already the name of an Outcast gun, and it sounds similar to the Kusari dragon, which is daft.
Stick with 'Paladin', it is much, much better - it fits the naming scheme better and sounds more impressive.

Paladins have never existed within the context of England/Britain. Outside of WoW/generic fantasy settings, Paladins have only ever existed as the personal bodyguard of some French king.
Paladin really isn't an appropriate name. Much less so than the Dragoon, of which there are still regiments in the British Army.
Although, I could think up another appropriate name, seeing as the Crusader and Templar are both named after religious military units. The Challenger is an exception though.
EDIT: Finding the names of other religious military units is decidedly difficult. It'd be best if the naming scheme was military units, without the religious ornaments. :|
I mean, c'mon. Fusilier would be an awesome name for a ship.
Crusader.
Templar.
Dragoon.
Fusilier.
Cavalier.
Hussar.
Challenger. (?)
Templar.
Dragoon.
Fusilier.
Cavalier.
Hussar.
Challenger. (?)

Hm, that's a shame. Paladin sounds powerful.
Anyways the other points still stand, Dragoon is already in use, and it sounds very similar to a Kusari fighter. I think something else would fit better.
EDIT: I just realised - Crusader and Cavalier are both names of British tanks. See where I'm going with this..? Challenger might be more fitting than you think for the bomber.

' Wrote:EDIT: I just realised - Crusader and Cavalier are both names of British tanks. See where I'm going with this..? Challenger might be more fitting than you think for the bomber.That's a very good point. Only problem is, the Templar, <strike>Cavalier </strike>and Hussar wouldn't fit then. Might not be such a great naming convention there, if only 2 of 5 match. :/
EDIT: Wait a minute, just looking through this. Cavalier is there, and was developed by the UK's armed forces. Never used though, because it was crap. The Hussar technically existed as well, but you'd have to be grasping at straws to use it in this context. No Templar though.

It's better than nothing, and the RL performance of the tank has no bearing on this, let's not go too far with it.:P
I think it's viable enough to go with the tank names, personally.
EDIT: Maybe we should have a vote on the name?

Personally, I think English Civil War units would be awesome. :D
