I'm posting this here because I can't post in COAD since I'm not in a 10 person corp. This is in response to people asking about Shiroi's vangel fit. From watching his video and seeing the vangel killing that myrm, I believe his fit is roughly something like this:

The only things I'm sure about are the launchers, the scram, web, AB, rep, neuts, drones, and the talismans (judging from how fast the neuts are cycling).
The ENAMs could be c/b/a types, but two a-types (and I think two b-types) won't fit due to CPU. This could be mitigated by the cap booster being a small cap booster, but I think it's unlikely that there is a small cap booster there because even if you had one, you would still ancils in both the rig slots to not have PG issues. One ENAM could also actually be a passive thermal hardener, but I see no reason not to have an active one, so it's probably an ENAM.
His BCU could be something else, but it's probably a CN BCU.
Frankly, I'm not really sure why he's decided to fit an 800mm plate over a second a-type rep, considering he does have the cap to run it (if he runs the cap booster), and since he's not using slaves, there really is no bonus to using the plate apart from having buffer. I also think ignoring the thermal hole is a little odd, but meh, and as well, I think the choice of a 100mn AB is questionable, but I guess that's sort of personal preference.
I think that in a 1v1 scenario it's more or less unbeatable, save for a bhaalgorn or kiting mach, or something else along those lines, but as soon as you end up fighting more than 1 person, the 500dps tank you have and the 50k ehp buffer will crumple fairly quickly (even if you have a legion booster and strong exile)
Clearly the fit worked for him, though I might argue that it's a little more due to the ship just being good than the fit. I don't know though. I'm really just theory-crafting here,and of course these are my personal opinions as a pvp'er, and a probably a worse one that Shiroi. I would love to hear some insight from him or others perhaps on the fit choice.
Regardless, props for flying the ship, it looks like a monster :P, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it in action.
