Which is better for solo pvp? FW, dogfights, relatively cheap pvp
If you can't say which is better, could you tell what they are strong against? Easy targets / hard targets?
Any tactics are welcome too.

Taranis definitely, Crusader is a close second though.

DPS and 2x warriorsIIs make the Taranis a very hard ceptor to kill if you enter web range. Only problem is that you are a bit slower than the other inties and don't really tackle all that well due to their engagement range.

Hang on, isn't this something I said in a different thread?
Also: Always blasters. Those other interceptors with their poncy faster base speeds? Overheated MWD+Scram+Web takes care of that little problem. If you go rails they just run away when they start to lose.
Pre-QR it was 'sader since the obscene range you could get with locus rigs meant a good pilot could avoid being webbed by a 'ranis. Nowadays the shorter range AND the fact that scrams kill MWD's means that the 'ranis is king.
Crusader is still a good interceptor though.

The Taranis is a better combat ship. It's hardier and depending how you set it up can do more damage than a good chunk of AF's that are available. However it's one of the slower, less nimble interceptors.
The crusader is pretty much in between the ranis and a pure tackle inty. how it's normally setup it's very fast and agile, but will also deal out the same (if not a little more) damage as a rail taranis. It is a fair bit weaker though.
Generally, you'd setup a taranis with either a warp disruptor, 125mm rails and warriors (orbit outside of web range and tackle) Or with a scram, web, ions and hobgoblins (orbit as close as you can and melt things)
The crusader I've found works well with dual light pulse lasers loaded with scorch, add some range rigs/tracking enhancers to get your optimal range a good bit over web range, then orbit at high speed, tackle and blast. you'll have a smaller sig than the taranis and should be able to hit most things well at pretty much full speed (around 5k/s with a couple of speed mods/nanos)
They're both really good intys. If you wanna take down bigger stuff or use as mainly a combat ship then fly the taranis, if you want something that can catch most stuff, operate as a better tackler most of the time and deal fairly decent damage then the Crusader would be a good choice.

You'd have a much easier time w/ blasters, web + 2pt scram and a some overheat cycles.
Frigate sized rails track worse than some medium turrets, not very good for shooting other ceptors.
Pulse Sader > Taranis against non 'ceptors, Taranis > Sader in ceptor vs ceptor fighting imo

I'm a Crusader pilot and this is a load of crap. The two ships excel at what they do and who comes out alive has more to do with the pilot than the ship itself.
I prefer the Crusader simply because a well skilled pilot can easily hit 5km/sec with only a t2 fit. The deciding factor here is why everyone fits a MWD. It's the mobility factor. The decision to engage is almost ALWAYS the Crusader pilots. Flat out, I can almost out run Warrior IIs. Good luck catching me.
In an out and out dog fight I'd still bet on the Taranis over the Crusader. The Crusader will need to keep out of scram/web range the whole fight, the Taranis only needs to get in range once.
Still, the Crusader excels at more practical roles, like fast tackle support and has the (speed) tank to survive longer while still possessing the range and firepower to deal with most frigates and even some cruisers. The Taranis is like a lightly armed, faster moving Assault Frigate and unfortunately runs into the same problem as other AFs: lack of defined role.

Thx guys
Reading all this made me understand Pulsader is good against slightly slower targets who have no way to close range by overheating and can't track or reach it.
Both are equally good/bad at killing cruisers. Pulsader does it from outside web range and Taranis does it by close orbit vulnerable to neut, bombs, drones and web.
Pulsader kills frigs and assault frigs
Taranis kills frigs and interceptors
Did I get it right?

No. Taranis is a much stronger combat ship and better for soloing/inty duels.
The Crusader on the other hand gives the better mix of speed, range and damage. It's better for small/medium gangs.
Also staying out of web in a (pulse) crusader is tricky. Overloaded webs will catch you.

The crusader must be a good little ship as well , I know everyone talks about the ranis but check out 'Kadesh Priestess' on the battleclinic killboard , she's popped everything from hacs to battles ships all solo in hers.And she's popped a lot of ranis's as well in it.

Taranis is generally better. It is slower but has a third mid (huge advantage once you get in range) and does more damage.
In fact, it is my favorite ship. Crusader is still a nice Intie :)

love ma sader... but it requires much more skill then the ranis.
my mwd speed is around 10k so there isnt anything faster around these days, but going at such high speeds makes it realy tricky to navigate em.. staying out of web-scram range but beeing inside lock range sudenly gets dificult.. u need quick reactions too if u dont see your target breaking ur angle... hes off 40k in 1-2 seconds..
not mentioning that bumping against a gate/station/roid will cause you a nice surprise.
if you can handle that and are willing to dump 100m into something without tank.. the sader is yours..
ranis is more the lazymode ship.. get in range, hit ur buttons and some1 will die for sure

not really 2 locus rigs you can get 14.5 km, fight at 15.5 to be safe. crusader can also be usefull with the same fit in gang and can solo most cruisers while its at it

My point.
With HG Snakes, Zor's and the 5 % hardwirings a MWD + 3x OD II's fitting gives you just a tad under 10k of over heated speed. Many "nano" pilots still fly with Snakes, mkay?
Oh btw, he doesn't need those faction items you listed, they were all nerfed to not affect speed. Only T2/ best named is needed, you just need the implants.

I can't fly crusader yet, but after comparing the pictures of a Tarans and a crusader, I think you should go for a crusader, it looks very good. also, interceptors in the real world go fast (thats why theyre called interceptors) so i think you should skill for the crusader because it is faster (i think). You won't be able to mine in ont though

Personally I fly the Taranis a lot and always enjoyed it.
Basically you cannot get a Crusader to do as much damage as a well fitted Taranis and you cannot get a Taranis to go as fast as a well fitted Crusader. As stated before the Taranis is more often flown as a close distance ship while the Crusader usually tries to stay out of web range - that is just what happens more often in my perception and there is no rule.
You can be successful in both ships, just apply tactics that go well with your fitting.

1 vs. 1 the Crusader was way stronger than it's now...
The sader lost nearly 3km of range since QR, so
The Scram changes has brought 3-mid-slot competitors, like the claw and of course the taranis into the scene stronger than ever, as in combination with the web allows them to completely dedicate range once a mistake is made, and believe me: even ~2km/sec cruisers can (when flown well) trick a not very experienced Ceptor pilot into web range. Of course overheat is a must have, but this fact counts for both sides.
No ceptor is fool-proof...and perhaps nerfing the crusader was fair...
It still pwns Crows tho, which still remains as fool-proof as it gets...

Wrong. With the new MWD-disabling scram, a crusader can now actually hit another inty wheh it is inside scram range. Let's analyze vs. every other major competitor.
Pre-QR:
- vs. Taranis: If the taranis can get into web range (and it usually can), the crusader dies.
- vs. Claw: The claw has better tracking, and if plated has more EHP. The Crusader is doing the wrong damage type (EM). The claw is doing the right damage type (explosive). The Claw wins.
- vs. Crow: The Crow, having fitted a web, orbits at 4km, 7000m/s, while the crusader sits still, unable to track, and thus hit, anything. The crow wins.
Post QR:
- vs. Taranis: The Crusader loses for similar reasons as pre-QR.
- vs. Claw: The Crusader, if it can keep about 8km range to the Claw, has a chance, as it will outdamage it by about 2-2.5 times. I'd say it's a 50/50 chance.
- vs. Crow: The Crusader will be able to get into scram range and then the crow almost certainly dies.
So you see, post-QR, the Crusader has gotten much better vs. other inties (the other, tackling inties are likely to die to a crusader both pre and post QR).
Just to be clear, in all cases, I'm talking about the cookie cutter fits (pulse sader with scram, blasteranis with scram+web, plated autocannon claw with scram, missile crow). Non-standard, tailored fits may win or lose, depending on the fit.
Originally by: Diomidis
The Scram changes has brought 3-mid-slot competitors, like the claw and of course the taranis into the scene stronger than ever, as in combination with the web allows them to completely dedicate range once a mistake is made,
Wrong again (even putting aside the fact that the claw has 2 midslots). Pre-QR: 2 midslots meant your opponent will be going 7000m/s; 3 midslots - 700m/s (x10, or about 6000m/s difference). Post-QR: 2 midslots mean your opponent will be going 700m/s; 3 midslots - 300m/s (x2.5 or 400m/s difference). Post-QR a single scram is a rather firm tackle. Pre-QR, a two midslot inty fighting a 3-midslot one meant that the 3-midslot one could always get out of range and warp away (or get under the tracking, if it's a missile inty).
Originally by: Diomidis
It still pwns Crows tho, which still remains as fool-proof as it gets...
A properly fit and properly flown crow (not the standard fit) has a reasonable chance vs. a standard fit Crusader.

What is your crusader fit that used to kill a mwd+disruptor+web crow orbiting you at 4km, 7km/s (and thus over 1.5rad/sec of angular velocity)? You would have to stay outside of web-range to kill such a crow, which you would not necessarily be able to.

The crow doesn't go 7 km/s in a straight line without implants or overloading, this one below barely breaks 5k:

A pulse crusader (2x TE, 2x OD) goes 5km/s, or 2km/s when webbed.
This means that the crow will have a maximum of 3km/s transversal (5-2). It will be considerably less given that the crusader needs only travel in a straight line whereas the crow needs to orbit, and it can't maintain it's full speed when orbiting. Let's be generous and call it 2.5km/s transversal.
Dual light pulse, with multifrequency, 2 tracking enhancers, and the crusader's tracking bonus have almost no problem tracking a crow at that range and speed, not even close.
In fact, if you want to orbit at 4km, go right ahead - the crusader gets nearly full DPS at that range.

Hell, even without the TEs the crusader tracks perfectly well at that range.

I'm really interested in this subject: Is there any new factor to take into account for this choice, related to Wormhole space?
Will it be better for some reason to fly a Ranis or a Sader for WH piracy?

Even then the crow would be fried before it could actually establish that orbit. Unless this is a 7km/s plated rocket crow now.

sader personally. ranis needs to be right in there, even with a scram, the sader can hit out nice dps and do it from acouple more km away than a ranis.
just my opinion.

If the crow is outmaneuvered and not allowed to get into web range, yes, it will go down. Rocket or missile doesn't matter, though, because once that orbit is established, the crusader will absolutely not be able to hit anything. My point is, though, that it depends on pilot skill, so it's certainly now "pwned" - it's an engagement where both sides have a reasonable chance.
Another fun tactic strictly for fighting frigs used to be to put a web and no disruptor on a crusader and hope that the target is confused long enough to be popped before it realizes there's no point on it and warps out.

I used to fly a web sader, worked wonderfully but I eventually realized how nice the locus rigs were. Now there is little point of using a web when you can slow them just as much and actually tackle with a scram

The taranis is better than the crusader overall, his guns are consuming less capa and its more flexible for the fittings.

The crusader must be a good little ship as well , I know everyone talks about the ranis but check out 'Kadesh Priestess' on the battleclinic killboard , she's popped everything from hacs to battles ships all solo in hers.And she's popped a lot of ranis's as well in it.
Looks fake to me, look at the damage she's done on her killmails to the damage her targets recieved? makes no sense.

Battleclinic hides NPCs from killmails. The extra damage received by the targets were likely from rats.
