Paladin Balance Discussion

[mjolnir]

Mjolnir replied that there were other numbers, which Mjolnir then failed to produce, and no one else has produced either. Without those numbers, and then an explanation of those numbers, thats not at all helpful, it is in fact a dodge of my question.

You were told which numbers to look for as well as explanation (if you followed the link I posted). I don't see why I should "produce" numbers, when it was you that started with assumptions based on wrong ones.

Paladin:
150 51500 51500 160000 41000 41000 118000 1.2561 1.2561 1.3559 7600 7600 7000 6.78 6.78 22.86 8600

Eagle:
150 53500 53500 46700 41000 41000 35000 1.3049 1.3049 1.3343 8400 8400 2000 6.37 6.37 23.35 9200

Comparison picture:

Manueverability? Its almost the same as other HFs we usually fight (I dont look at numbers, game experience > numbers, imo)

HFs you fight? Only HF you might fight are Gladiator and Centurion. It is much faster than Gladiator, slower than Centurion.

It's much faster than Chimaera, Werewolf or Greyhound which are not HFs anyway.

Firepower? It has 2x8 and 4x9 class slots. With its powerplant, no big deal, really. Only way to do any good damage is mounting a mini razor, which makes your small powerplant cry.

= standard HF powerplant

Survivalability? 8600 hull and size of a Templar. Average.

Slightly above average in the HF class.

The reason why its not getting killed in large fights is that everyone sees a HF and thinks "Omfg, HFs are fast arent they? Target somethin' huge!", ergo they target Templars first, if they would target Paladin, they would be surprised how fast it can die to a swarm of HFs/VHFs, even when dodging.

I have fought it enough times.. I have seen one dodging 2 Wyrms and 1 Chimaera without getting hull damage and another one dodging 2 Chimaeras, 2 Kusari Bombers and 2 Vipers without getting hull damage.
