I just fought Paladin in my Greyhound, a while ago. If it didnt run to Derby, its dead right now.
The pilot was decent. At least he could dodge, but even when hes gone evasive, he wasnt very hard to hit. Fortunately for him, I have no missiles on my Grey eh.
And, I dont mind if its average. Just the fact that we have average HF, and corsairs can haz Gladiator that beats Paladin anytime annoys me.
I wouldnt mind if it stayed the same, if the Gladiator gets nerfed a bit.
This whole thing should be discussed somewhere else though *points at topic name*
EDIT: And again today. BAF/MR event. 3 Paladins and a Templar vs 3 Greyhounds. Guess who won. One Paladin died to a razor, the other ones, unfortunately, ran.
I had no issue with hitting that thing, really. You could say "You were in a Greyhound" but well, they had advantage in numbers, yet they still lost.
Paladin does well against VHFs, which are slower, but against other HFs its hopelessly weak, because it has no advantage. As mentioned above, its either average or worse than average in all stats.
