i recently decided to train for AF's but now i'm wondering if it is worth it with kali coming soon.
what i want from assault frigs is the possibility to take on enemies in bigger ships like cruisers and even battlecruisers .
but will it still be possible after the HP boost and the various other changes?

Unfortunately, Gallente AFs are screwed over by this... Like the rest of gallente and amarr ships...

To be honest I will never change my training path because of what the devs are doing to the ships I'm training to fly. You never know, in 3 months Gallente and amarr could rule the world and people will be mining in ravens  . Flavor of the month for the lose. If an ishkur is fun for you, by all means fly a **** ishkur.

Agreed. 40km (will be less in kali) with spike on an enyo and near antimatter damage just excites me for some reason.
Can really make the inties run away looking for new underwear.

a thing to consider:
destroyers are gonna be far better come kali... hell, I popped a harpy and hawk in a coercer (amarr destroyer) without a repper...
I think the balance of ships will change back and forth, but I also don't regret for one minute training gallente frig 5 and my drone skills... the ishkur and enyo are just loads of fun to fly, so do what you want, not what you might think is the optimal path right now... things will change

Harpy does it best. I think I had 100km optimal with spike last time I checked. Insane fun pew pewing at enemy interceptors and making them have to warp out all the time (or die if they aint quick enough). Not sure what the optimal will be with 150's and spike in Kali but it'll still be pretty far.

Doubt the Gallente AF's will suffer from Kali 1. In fact i think they are buffed buffed. :)
Enyo is either with blasters, which are awesome for ratting serpentis and gurista and as damage dealer in a gang or with rails, again very good in a gang.
Ishkur can change drones and as such the damage it is inflicting, and with the added importance of cap in Kali, ppl will use more and more the vampi-ishkur setup.
No, I am happy that i have gallente af's on my character. :)

Its possible to even take on a BS if you know what damage they re doing, and what to tank for. slowly he ll die. the bigger target, the least likly he is able to kill you.
though avoid missile boats.

I'm a bit concerned over the Harpy in sniper mode - even before Kali the 4x150 T2 with Spike had a hard time popping much (apart from dumb inty pilots, T1 frigs and sleepy haulers with no instas). With the hit point boost the 'alpha'strike potential of these weapons (if you can call it that) is much lower. Pretty much no chance of killing anything before it can warp off - I'm even a bit concerned that you won't be able to pop a dumb inty pilot before he gets into close orbit around you and locks you down, let alone a smart inty pilot who knows how to use transversal. Yup, I know ...serves snipers right, but honestly, what else does the Harpy do well at in PvP?

Speaking of AFs after Kali - With the HP-boost and all, will that apply to NPCs as well? I dont see why it shouldnt, and that is making me slightly nervous. For an average simpleton like myself, ratting is a big part of my income. Will that mean, hunting in an AF will take twice as long time because of the NPC BSs having 50% more armor? That will make one quite anxious to kill that True Sansha spawn before anyone else gets into the system...

Last I checked NPC's did NOT have the armor boost, testing the time to take down a Sansha Lord on Tranq was the same on Sing. But my Wolf is **** near indestructible against them with 1 thermal hardener and a SAR II, they hit for like 6 dmg.
