Harpies are the easiest assault to kill besides wolfs/jags. Ishkurs with good pilots can hurt though, but there aren't maybe good pilots with good setups on ishkurs it seems.
Yeah i know, there are plenty of harpy pilots out there who dont fit a webber, which makes them very vulnerable at extreme close ranges.

Even with a webber they pop easilly.
That needs some explanation. How do you pop a harpy with a web, a missile launcher und a decent tank before it kills you? If you are in web range, you will get hit by missiles and turrets will also hit a few times. If you are not in web range, you will get shot by 4x 150mm or even worse 125mm railguns.
Ill tell you my harpy setup, which i use to drive away enemy scramblers in larger fleet battles. (there is no srambler in my setup since it doesnt matter if i kill a frig or not, as long as it does not scramble one of our bs im fine ...)
4x150mm rail tech2, 1xstd Launcher
1x small shield booster tech2, 1x anoided em hardener, 1x web 90% and 1x cap recharger (no cpu left for something else :) )
2x tracking enhancer tech 2 to give me extra range
With which ceptor, setup and tactic would you counter that? Maybe assuming youd meet me at a stargate.

Sorry, only have one gistii which i dont use in pvp any more. Im up in north again but you will see me more often in a raptor or a thorax than my harpy. Its not because assaults suck or something like that, but i like using other ships from time to time :)
With a gistii sb ive been able to tank an almost perfectly skilled crow pilot using the missiles with my weakest ressistances, infinite. But thats been another setup with power diags in lows and no guns active.
The only ceptor that i could see able to eat through a harpys tank in time is a claw with armor plates and em/explo ammo. But it still cant web and scramble, so usually no big deal to escape from that.

lol no **** that u killed them. they all had stupid setups. I've yet to see an inty that kills my harpy.
If you or any other harpy pilots would like a 1v1 please convo or evemail me ingame.
The problem i have with that arranged fights are that you can perfectly prepare your fitting for me. Dont wanna fight something like a tanked stiletto with a racial jammer a defender launcher and fittings you¦d never really use in pvp otherwise.

i would guess a 3 mid slot interceptor running a tracking disruptor and staying out of web range could own an arty/rail fitted AF. Of course u would need to use the correct dmg too but i can imagine its totally doable. Ive fought a kestrel in a rail ranis and i couldnt touch him cos he had a tracking disruptor on and i couldnt hit
Guess you will have big troubles with your cap when running mwd, scrambler, weapons and the disruptor. Maybe a crow with lots of CPR in the low slots could achieve this.
On the other hand, it may be better to turn mwd off anyway ...

The only things that stops me from creating a "OMG nerv the claw" thread is the lack of a third med slot. This leaves a claw pretty much useles in a fleet and makes it a toy for solo gankers or in frig fleets.
