AF's aren't really supposed to be fleet tackle ships.. there's better shipclasses for that role.
For solo and/or small fast roaming I usually prefer the Wolf over the Jaguar.
Jaguar is better capable at tackling.. but I'm not really bothered with that
Wolf with 2 gyros and 200mm autocannons with RF emp/T2 ammo EATS through ANYTHING.
I went 1 on 1 vs an alliance mate's gallente AF (the drone wielding thingymajig) and I completely eradicated his shield and started downing his armor before he was even able to launch his drones.
Afterwards I told him he could probably have beat me after he sent his drones on me.. but he told me in all honesty that if he saw his hitpoints vanish like that so fast in an actual hostile 1 on 1 he'd **** his pants and warp off and probably abandon his drones too __________________________________________________

Yes they are they're heavy tacklers, wtf else are you gonna use em for.
You wanna solo? pick a good BC or HAC.
ASSAULT ship

Hurr durr lets look at the ship class names and ignore everything else. If that were true all i'd fly would be destroyers. (Oh wait they're pretty much only useful as salvage ships.)
Good point.
However assault frigate class ships ALL (or most, dunno, tbh I dont really care bout non-minmatar ships) have damage bonusses, not tackling bonusses
Sure you could concider the Jaguar to be a tackler that is slightly slower than an interceptor but with better EHP and more damage (still not GREAT or anything mind you) but then you'd just be mediocre in 2 fields.
I'd rather have one dedicated best tackler and one dedicated best damage dealer than have 2 ships that do both but less effectively. __________________________________________________
