Personally, I'm only having an extremely hard time staying alive in a Pytho in case of a bigger furball. Much harder than if I had another type (Taiidan/nomad/rhineland)
Another thing, the 2/2 gunneryis somewhat stiff. Permits relatively few good bomber-gun options. Normally, I'd be packing shield bustaz, but since the only shield-buster turrets are either the oorp Tizzies or the unfitting debs. Sure, I could pack 2 debs and 2 vamps, but it's significantly weaker than simple 4 lv 10 guns.
Panzer, the other example bombers you rolled off there are some of the better bombers in the mod. Particularly the Rheinland Bomber and the Nomad Bomber.
2/2 is the same as what the FA bomber has, and tizzy turrets would still be an option for you if you had good relations with Corsairs. I dunno what your relations are like now concerning recent events, but Im sure you could make arrangements with the relevant people if you wanted them.
what i would suggest if you were to do anything with it. Is that you just up the powerplant not enough so it can fire dual nova or something stupid. But maybe a bit more regen will make it more useful. Plus maybe a few more armour points and it will be an excellent ship to fly.
