Most of them can fight outside scram range and in dis range, but low speed on mwd making it pretty bad idea - anyone can run away when he wants, anyone can catch them, when he wants.
Barely outside scram range is not outside scram range, because a simple prop mod overhead can deny that.
Most of them cannot fight at 17+ km.
If the AF would still be as slow as they are, but where immune to MWD shutdown by scram, then they woudl be easy to catch, but hard to neutralize. WOudl fit PERFECTLY to the role. And do not step into the toes of any other ship

To be honest, even t1 cruisers is enough for killing t3d: 1, 2, 3, 4But it is a bit offtop, we are talking about assault frigates. Imagine there are no t3d in eve and remove small plexes from FW. Where will be niche in pvp for assault frigs in such situation?
Af are just buffed up t1 frigs so I guess there niche will be hard tackle They just need a speed buff to be really effective in this purpose I fly them a lot and have loads of fun doing it The jag is the only one that's a bit weird it's no kiter and doesn't really shine as brawler The bonuses of the jag suggest is needs to kite but the slot layout doesn't agree Enyo ishkur retri vengeance hawk harpy wolf are all fine ships they just lack a little in speed
Fly safe keep killing
And remember
I'm watching you !!!!

Sure let's make our analysis of what can kill a T3D by using pirate battleships as reference point of a thing that can do it if well fit and flown... |

AFs clearly need AB bonuses for their typical fleet role, or at least half the lineup does.
However, when that was tried, oversize ABs allowed them to be pretty much unstoppable.
That is yet another reason why we need stacking penalties on fitting modules and rigs, and why engineering rigs need smart rig penalties. Do that and huge chunks of the game start becoming viable again. |

Bonus for speed on AB is not good idea, coz there are some AFs with only 2 mid slots. Maybe bonuses for mwd speed (so they will fly faster on mwd, but with same speed as now without mwd) instead of bonuses for base speed would be nice idea.

Give Assault frigates IMMUNITY to MWD shutdown under scram, and voil+í... EXTRA FLAVOR.. and a nice boost for the ship.
Ok, you literally just solved the frigate/dessie hull/tier balance.
I'm serious.
+1
Please implement.
Since their slower and they still have a sig bloom from MWD, it's balanced and actually makes them worth it.
I've noticed I don't fly any AF's with MWD if I can't dual prop them, which makes it impossible for me to catch a MWD BB, that's absurd!

Not every frigate has to be tackle. The Retribution is traditionally a damage support ship. Even so, it can web or point.
However, the bonuses of about half of the AFs make them good at operating in scram range. The Vengeance was pretty much retooled for it. All the AF lines have at least one sniper.
Ideally, the snipers would get speed boosts, and the other half would get web resistance.
Those same bonuses would translate well to HACs, if only we could do away with oversize ABs on all of them.
