The proposal is not going to solve the Cane/Drake issue and will make Tier1 BCs even more worthless than they already are.
Cane, Drake and Harb all need to lose a slot to bring them in line with the myrm and help balance them against Tier1.

I agree on the Harb underperforming cpmpared to the other tier2 BCs (at least if it's not shieldanked) - just threw it inthere to appease the scorch-whiners. Losing a high wouldn't hurt the harb nearly as much as losing a med on the drake or losing any non-high slot would hurt the cane, since it can't be properly armortanked whilst fittin the highest tier med pulses already.

Um no. You got killed by a perfectly balanced ship. DEAL with it. I have already explained how balanced it is but people keep thinking it is some kind of epic noob ship that can destroy you in a blink of an eye and survive a carrier attack.
Who says I got killed? (Although I certainly have been killed by a BC or more during recent years). I can fly all races BCs maxed out, so please spare me with your implications  .
All my arguing, be it about projectiles, BCs or anything else I've commented on in S&M is driven by a rather simple motivation:
Variety.
Nobody can deny Tier 2 BCs - foremost the Drake and Cane - are the most widespread ships in todays eve pvp.
Lots of people argue that because these ships are used a lot, they're fine and that if they're nerfed CCP is taking away the small mans opportunity to pvp effectively.
They are cost effective, well performing, versatile, cheap ships - the problem is that they're too good and largely cover niches that would otherwise be filled with e.g. HACs, but fill these niches just fine for a fraction of the price and training effort.
It's not about wanting to take away every noobs (and some vets) favourite toy, it's about going on a roam and encountering anything else but Tier 2 BCs 80% of the time, simply because their overabundance is boring.
It's about considering to take my dusty old Sac out and not finding myself thinking that a nanoed HAM drake would do the job just as well whilst being less of a gank-magnet and costing a fraction if lost.
They are badly balanced against each other, their Tier 1 counterparts and pretty much any T1/2 subcap in the game - hence everyone and his dog is flying one.
