Corsairs' finest Cap ship hunter isn't so great compared to other Medium bombers. The major pros are guns placement and ship size / shape – which is full of holes and not so easy to hit. However, the agility is so poor that it's comparable to Heavy bombers. The biggest con though is the Snac placement, having one of the worst in the game – at the end of wings. Armor is alright, a little above average. All in all, a bomber that feels really sluggish when flying it.

DSCore: Gladiator

Necessity to counter enemy Capital Ships forced the Corsairs to develop their own Bomber model. The Praetorian is far superior to Titan in terms of hull strength and power supply capacity. However, the upgrades affected maneuverability in an adverse way, and this ship can barely defend itself if caught without escort by enemy Fighters.

Handling

Review (4.88)

Corsairs' finest Cap ship hunter isn't so great compared to other Medium bombers. The major pros are guns placement and ship size / shape – which is full of holes and not so easy to hit. However, the agility is so poor that it's comparable to Heavy bombers. The biggest con though is the Snac placement, having one of the worst in the game – at the end of wings. Armor is alright, a little above average. All in all, a bomber that feels really sluggish when flying it.

Pros: Guns placement, Size

Cons: Agility, Snac placement

Rating: 5/10
