From a new player perspective the RS excels through it`s easy handling. Also it`s rather forgiving when it comes to mistakes. Therefore it gets rather boring quickly the more experienced you get. |

I love flying my gila it has an excellent tank excellent dps projection via drones its incredibly flexible in how you can fit it, and in the roles that it can perform solo, in small gangs and larger fleets aswell
the only thing the gila doesn't do well is asteroid mining.
the snake takes everything the gila does, and improves on it the rattlesnake is definitely on my training schedule as its just an extra 2-4 skills |

Train drone skills. Did you know that flying battleship without good drone skills is a bad idea?
I totally didn't know that - my chararcters have 13, 9 and 7 mill SP in drone skills, respectively - but yeah, I will train some drone skills asap. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me.
On a side note: Did you know that training drone skills doesn't make the Rattlers Highslots any more useful? You know... morons. |

PVP: can think of several uses, but frankly very niche ones based purely on the tank capability, drone dps and midslots.
PVE: not an optimal ship for much anything except for L5 and DED8-10. MJD Dominix handles a lot of those for much less of a risk due to its increased drone range.

Regarding our use of rattlesnakes in AT11, we used them since they are unique for a battleship (other than perhaps the Dominix and Armageddon) to be able to project damage at decent ranges while being jammed/td'ed/damped, while also fielding a very solid tank both in terms of EHP and resists. Not to mention sentry drones with a couple omnidirectionals hit even low-signature cruisers such as warfare linked logistics quite well once a web and a target painter or two is applied.
I still wouldnt probably use one for PVP in "real eve", but in the tournament they are rather effective in certain scenarios. |

You'll end up very disappointed when you'll discover that your much more expensive RS, that was better than Gila on paper, will be much worst cause of the huge Signature radius.... so to get the same tank of the Gila you'll end up giving out the extra dps and your big, expensive ship will perform overall less than your starting Gila....
Don't do my mistake :)

To me it seems that this ships is sub-par to all other ships of the same class, or am I wrong?

I run missions in Minmatar space. It cant even think about beating the mach at angels, but it kicks ass for everything else. I have a TFI also, but the extra utility slots make it ideal for running missions where you have to swap fits. For example, the Assault has heavy dampening, so I use a signal amp and SEBO+range script. It works great against Mordus, Sansha's, Mercs, Serpentis, and Guristas.
I do run it with the same mods as any other expensive mission boat rather than relying on its Drake tank. 1104 DPS up to 47km and about 950 DPS at 100k. It complets missions in about the same amount of time as the TFI.
Basically just do missions till I have a bunch of non Angel missions saved up across my agents, and when I start to get Angel Cartel Missions stacked up JC back. Rinse and repeat. Eve is Real |

for sure RS can't beat machariel on ticks on angel space but you risk less when it comes to isk.
Still i can get descent ticks near the machariel (if i remember correct i have like 4m or 5m difference) that is nice for such a cheap haul. Any other space i been the mach was subpar especially the dronelands unless pimped way 2 much. On angels its hail what makes the difference Ride hard, live with passion-á |

I guess it's down to personal preferences and playing styles .. I don't enjoy the solo gameplay in eve, for me it's kind of boring
I find the Gila works really well in a small fleet, from the number crunching I've done the RS will work, for me, just as well and more. |
