For rocket ships a web is akin to a damage mod.
Tank or gank, same goes for all ships out there (except Angels, 'cause they are *lisp*special*lisp*).
The improved rocket performance is quite noticeable against anything but AB frigs. Then again, the AB frig can be a right nuisance to most ships, so I fail to see the issue.

Originally by: Korg Leaf Thing is at the moment the caracal cant fit cruiser weapons without several fitting mods....
Sure it can. Full rack of heavies goes perfectly together with a MWD. What you seem to want is tank, drive AND weapons all at once which no ship can pull off without serious sacrifices (Ruppie excluded for being FoTM platform). That "at least fit.." line does not seem to appreciate the rather large range/damage hit taken by the Rax/Vex when doing that, nor that they still have to use fitting mods or content themselves with 800 plate buffers.
The only hulls that can fill all checkboxes are faction hulls, which is as it should be in my opinion.

Originally by: NoLimit Soldier To the person who claims 1000+ kills in one I am assuming these were either fleet kills or frigate kills....
It may come as a surprise to you, but there are other PvP venues than on a gate or station.
Damar's claim is probably correct as I have seen what he can do with the Assault Caracal in FW. It has damage comparable to a rupture at web range (sans drones) but can apply that damage from 60km out .. and it utterly demolishes anything smaller.
HML Caracal is a stand-off dps machine. Provides a constant stream of damage .. crap for solo in most cases due to fitting constraints but its doable against slower targets (ie. everything with a 1600 plate (minus the Rupture)). Dies too fast when caught which is fairly easy so rarely used. HAM Caracal doesn't exist, never really has. HAM's were made into Khanid weapons in the great missile revision which is the reason for the maddening grid requirement. Demanding that they fit on the Caracal is like demanding that the Omen can fit Heavy Pulse, the Rax fit Neutrons and the Rupture fit .. oh wai...
Caldari, like their gold plated allies, are pack animals. Neither do particularly well when alone but will mess you up like nobodies business in gangs. Accept that simple truth and you will keep your hair for much, much longer.
It is still way too early to say anything about the Kestrel itself. Rockets just got the change, give people a few days/a week to experiment and then start the OMGBUFF-mobile if it is still necessary.

Originally by: NoLimit Soldier I got these just for this thread last night....
Good stuff, pretty decent fits you were up against as well. Just goes to show that the only way to truly evaluate a ships potential is go out and die/kill in it after all
PS: Hookbill, which is the supercharged Kestrel, is having a field day with the new rocks thanks to its insane amount of midslots .. so many variations flying around.
