Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) Well This is the new info about the AVENGER it is updated to 4.86 update 3 so the there a lot of change especially ships... The Armor Rating INCREASED to 14000 NANOBOT and SHIELD up to 74. the AVENGER is very good to fly especially fronting a gunboat. the handling is good for me. but for catbert the avenger's handling is true but. sabre and some other agile ship. the avenger can still dodges incoming fire.. try to equip 3 magma hammer MK.V and 3 VENGEANCE MK.V. and sunslayer torpedo.. for me it is a good combination of firepower especially face to face ship battle. try to low the shield of the enemy then after that fire sunslayer torpedo. it will work....

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) I used to fly this ship, and all I can say is, that its rather awesome. While its not that slow as mentioned above, it has a higher energy and armor output than the Guardian, and the maneuvrability is kinda the same. You can get a buck of 6 Magma Hammers and, if you want, a Mini Razor/Torpedo/CD. Also, you may wonder: "Why that MR, its already 6 hullbusters?" , well, pretty simple: 2~3 full shots of 6 Magmas and a well-aimed MR will turn any fighter into scrap, and bombers will wonder why they are so low on hull. On the other hand, if you're going for Torpedoes, pack a Starkiller, now, Why starkiller and not sunslayer? Because Starkiller turns better than the Sunslayer, making it a lot easier to hit. This ship has been and still is a pleasure to fly, and I would recommend this to experienced and new pilots alike. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Ciufu

Review (4.85) The Avenger can be considered as a "Heavy" Guardian. This ship has more power, armor... but keeps the number of weapons and sacrifces little manuverability. The top fin adds more visual rating but also makes it easier to be hit. A good and nice alternative choice of VHFs in Liberty.

Outdated Review (4.85)

Review (4.85) Being the heaviest fighter that Liberty has to offer, the Avenger boasts increased energy output and armor comparing to the Guardian. However, that advantage comes at a price of maneuvrability, as well as the looks of the ship come at a price of its size: the top fin makes the ship look good (although, tastes differ), but also makes the vessel an easier target. In combat Avenger's low agility may become an issue, but that all depends. In duels you can make use of your firepower and armor by jousting or boxing (I've seen some people doing that rather well). Sliding can make you an easy target, so I'd advise not to do it. In large-scale battles there are two points you need to remember: Avenger's firepower allows you to keep firing for quite some time, and you can make use of it by hitting enemy's bombers and gunboats. In fact, Avenger is created for anti-bomber and anti-gunboat duty (you'd need two or three ships to take down a gunboat, though). Relatively low agility can (and probably will) be a problem when you attempt to evade enemy fire, especially if people decide to concentrate fire on you (and they are likely to do that, since they are usually aware of Avenger's weak spot). Also, Avenger's low agility may be a problem when you face more agile fighters, like the Sabre or the Bayonet (you will confront those ships within Liberty) or the Wraith (the main strike vessel of the Rheinland Military). So, the conclusion: Avenger is perfect for bomber/transport/gunboat interception, can be quite effective in fighter combat (especially in duels), but the agility may become a problem. The low agility is the main reason why people mostly go for the Guardian. But despite the fact, that the Avenger is not an easy ship to fly, it may be deadly in the right hands.
