Crow is even bigger than a cow:D
I also got BAF and Corsair players saying that Paladin is too fast (this was on start of 4.85).
10 elephants are quite big though, yeah? Personally, I was excited about getting the Paladin, and that skews your judgement, was nice to have something to fly that didn't turn like a lead-brick but frankly the appeal has worn off and I just think it's crap now.
Chuck out all the numbers you want, but the size is what matters in this case, and it's too freaking big, that, is the only problem with it. Scale it down to the size of the Black Dragon and give it the same stat set? That should be balanced... For the record; first time I used the Paladin, it was against 3 Werewolves, and we slaughtered, that tints ones opinion.
Also; flying a LF isn't much like flying a Paladin. Flying a LF, you get a tiny ship, and it's extremely agile. Flying a Paladin, you get a huge ship that's fairly agile.
