These are T2 ships and should act like them. Their performance is lacking vs other T2 ships. T2 usoualy has double the spec of their T1 counterparts. This is not the case with a black ops. Lets compare a AF to a regular frigate. AF's have massive performance advantages double everything, EHP, cpu, pg, DPS, bonuses, and so on reflect being X2 more advanced then their T1 counterparts.
This is not so with a black ops like it is with a recon or a SB even. Even they have very powerful advantages that make them deadly for a T2 ship. A recon can practically outclass any T1 cruiser with their ewar and with their enhanced resistances they have better tanks. A curse can kill almost any ship that requires cap given enough time and the pilots skill and fitting. A curse can take down even the most powerful BS. If the curse pilot knows what he is doing.
A BS is not a counter to a BC, or is a BC to a crusier, or a destroyer is to a frigate. Bigger is not better in this game. And fights don't turn out like that if the pilot is better then you. Just because your in a destroyer doesn't mean you can take out a AF. I have had people say one thing and then get shown another. Its all about fitting and skill. If you have more experiance and you know what your doing. A AF will even kill ships many times their size simply because they can't be hit easly.
Look on the KB's and eventually you come across ace pilots who kill BS's in rifters. A rifter can kill any ship if the pilot has the perfect fitting and knows how to pilot it. So don't tell me a BlackOps can be overpowered if you give it the proper performance of a T2 ship so it has the same survivablity as atleast x1.5 the standard of a T1 BS. It should also have the ability to use the cov ops cloak or just that would make it useable in surprise attacks with SB's.
Currently a blackops is just a just a underpowered battleship that never sees the front lines with the exception of the widow. Now thats a decent ship. Give all blackops the same ewar capablity as recons do like a widow does as its comparable to a rook. Then maybe the blackops won't be subcombat battleships. 
The ship costs more then 1/2 bill as it is, make it perform like a half a bill worth of hardware.
PS A blackops is not a glorified BC. A glorified BC is a command ship and they can have the DPS and tank of a BS, Astrate 1250 DPS max, nighthawk 1000/1500 DPS tank or 900 DPS with kin HAM's and 150k EHP, Damnation 500K EHP. A Black ops can't do that because its sub par in performance to even a command ship. Its about as comparable to a T1 BC in defense and DPS.
