Since we've had some time to play with the new HACs what verdict have people arrived at?
Personally the cerb feels a little underwhelming but the deimos feels good. Haven't tried an eagle since the rebalance but doubt that it was improved very much.
Also does anyone have a good cerb fit? I can't form one that I'm satisfied with.

Deimos is a blast to fly, Cerb is excellent in small gangs with RLMLs fitted, the Ishtar is a fantastic sentry-kiter, and the Vaga can do some cool things. Don't know much about the others. I wear my goggles at night.

The Sacrilege and Zealot are the same as they always have been... except the Sac has been buffed a bit making it just a bit more effective in small brawling scenarios.
And the Ishtar... mmm... very flexible and worth having in any small gang. It can brawl with the best of them and shoo off kiters and snipers when necessary. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Here is a nice tier list for you:
God Tier:
Ishtar / Cerb
Cerb does well as pure anti-tackle / anti support as well for those peski ewar cruisers / frigs. Amazing ship Ishtar has more DPS to bring than the cerb, another great pick.
Good Tier:
Diemos
Deimos is good at what it does. Shield rail diemos is still pretty good
Meh Tier:
Vagabond / Munin
Vagabond is bad because it uses auto cannons. Ship is just bad, unless you want a way to scram kiting ships.
**** Tier:
Zealot, Sac, Eagle |

ITT Chessur being of the opinion that brawling isn't a thing and that gangs with logistics aren't a thing.
All the HACs are in a pretty good place now, the Muninn is pretty niche and the Vaga has DPS projection issues but overall they are all good ships, I think the Sacs traditional dual rep role is better served by the Deimos these days but its excellent in a Logi supported gang as heavy tackle and secondary DPS, the Zealot is again a good gang ship both in Armour gangs and as Anti-Support in shield gangs.
The Eagle looks interesting on paper as a fleet rail platform but whether that applies in game I am unsure, the Muninn still has its niche arty role as I said but with ABCs kind of ******* that Meta a bit its hard to say and it may well end up under-used.
The Ishtar is pretty good but the derpyness of drones can make it a bit of a pain, however its never the less a very powerful platform, the dual-rep Deimos is an absolute beast.
The Cerb is an amazing HAM and RLML platform for solo and gang, RLMLs being so good in general making the RLML Cerb very versatile and potent, probably to the point where RLMLs are in need of a bit of a nerf. |

Yea and caracal has better speed than cerberus. Vaga will be an exception to the rule most likely. The point is that you have 50% more ehp on a hac as well as twice as many bonuses. Hacs probably are objectively better than t1 at this point with t1 retaining a few minor advantages Click here for LP store weapon cost rebalancing |

Either way zealots are really bad, and are out performed by Nomens for solo / small gang and fleet. If you want to compare some fits, please start coughing up numbers, because a zealot is not getting 2X EHP. Infact the Nomen and zealot have extreamly simmilar base EHP. So please stop spouting the bullshit.
The zealot is outperformed by the nomen in the AHAC role and most certainly in the small gang / solo role, 100%. Run the numbers. |

The Zealot has a substantially smaller signature, unless of course you fly them with ABs. Also ~40% more laser DPS at the same range is nothing to scoff at.
Both ships have their uses. |

Basically, the Oni gains some speed and a slightly lower sig for **** DPS, **** resists however you fit it and **** EHP, as well as terrible cap. However the speed and Sig gains are nullified basically by the fact that the primary is Going to be heavily webbed and painted in most fights.

Dual rep and you can tank things very comfortably while chewing them up, my only complaint is that I need to pack so many different kind of missiles ^^ I don't like the Sac as much for this these days. Deimos just does the Dual Rep thing better IMO, its still good as a gang ship though, and probably solo although cant say I've soloed in one recently.
I use below. Gives me more optionality compared to the Deimos. There have been plenty of engagements I would have lost the Deimos in but did not because I had the option to kite whatever target. So I surivived more I suppose but that did not result in more kills that is failure of course. Rather lose the ship than not kill anything at times and I tend to do that for giggles more than often but the cost of the ship stops those tendencies. I have had an engagement where I had to tanki 5 tech-1 cruisers (Thorax Rupture and Vexor); another where there were 2 Ishtars and a Vengeance that I survived. There was another agianst 15 dudes in mix cruisers and frigates that I also surivived because I was dictating alot range at the beginging before fully commiting and prolonging things long enough to do what needed to be done. So I prefer it because it gives me options and I don't have to worry so much about tracking disruptors and tracking. I am able to do good damage to assault frigates like a Hawk and Vengeance forcing them to tank hard or explode. The neut and web helps ALOT against frigates. So, yeah! It's my prefered close range HAC atm. While I use the Cerberus for Skirmishing.
Note: in none of said engagements did I receive ANY FLEET BONUSES.

I have never actually actually considered that the Sacri has a pretty good mix of Agility/Speed/Tank and Projection.
May have to give something similar a try. |

The zealot vs ONI numbers are wrong. Counting drones, ONI has more DPS.

Nomen is still better. That increased speed + Sig will make a huge difference even while webbed and patined, when compared to the zealot. Cap is not an issue if you place a small booster. Having 5 Med drones makes the Nomen a superior choice. |

Pretty much this.
But to say that its terrible just because it doesn't fit into 1 style play is pretty dumb.
(Also drones aren't a reliable source of DPS, and will die) |

Thanks but, pretty sure that is how to properly fit a cerb. Its the same fit that turn left uses, and the one that I had discussed with TL before the ship was even released. |
