The Bretonian HF has been getting beaten by Eagles(because, I was suprised to hear, the eagles (VHF) were outturning our paladins (HF). So, I looked at the numbers. Paladin and the Eagle are about the same size, have the same number of guns...
Turning:
Paladin 1.2561 rad/sec max, .4109 0-.5, .4268 time 90%
Eagle 1.3049 rad/sec max, .4084 0-.5, .4717 time 90%
Sooo...I understand that the Eagle is a manuverable VHF, but I'd have thought it would have been an interesting baseline for comparison. Is the only thing the Paladin is better at than the eagle turn acceleration?
