More than half of all the HFs are slower in max turn than Eagle.
Namely: Paladin, Executioner, Switchblade, Gladiator, Centurion, Cuirassier (both ones).
There are even LFs with slower max turn than Eagle and yet they are great - like Decurion.

I have had long time bretonian players that I trust telling me that Paladin is too fast and small. I have flown it and flown against it and I think it's just fine.
... then I have some other bretonian players here saying how it's too big/weak/whatever.
