I would put my ranis against a similar fit comet.
I think tonight I will fit up a ranis for some hijinks.
Edit: it has been a while since I pewed in an interceptor, but I would think a ranis in any fit would take a comet.
lol, T2 resist on a ceptor.

yea, you may not have the drone bay, but in my experience (and maybe im just a bit slow at it), the time it takes to send out those drones, wait for them to fly to opponent, and kill them, you are probably already dead...itd be easier to just shoot them.
yea, comet can get descent dps too with guns, but again...bubbles
It takes a comet 2 seconds to MWD out of a bubble...you warp faster than anything except another frigate which will also have to deal with bubbles...and if you are chasing ceptors through null you are doing it wrong. |

Imho Navy Frigates are almost always outclassing combat interceptors in any combat field, mostly because of their powerful slot layout. Interceptors have strong utility capabilities such as interdiction nullification, however it doesn't make it from the lack of strength in direct combat, at least for a solo pilot.
In larger fleets Ares does a better job anyway, so to answer the OP and always imho yes, Taranis is obsolete. |

Navy and Pirate Frigates are like a smashing together of assault Frig and Interceptor and sometimes AF and EAF lines like in the case of the Cruor. |

Nothing's really changed here. The combat interceptors tank and gank stats are broadly on par with t1 combat frigs (Raptor-Merlin, Taranis-Incursus). They're basically a t1 frig with specialised mobility stats. That's not really news. Basing comparisons on tank-gank, the navy frigs are always going to come out better, as they always did and as they do compared with a t1 frig. You don't fly combat inty's for extra tank-gank. You fly them because the mobility stats are giving you something you want.
That increase in warp speed is quite a powerful thing. It seriously reduces the effectiveness of D-Scan. If you are spamming D-Scan say every 20 secs, a combat inty can slip through that, were a navy frig is going to get spotted. Combat inty's have that 'just appearing without warning' ability. That's why you fly them.
I would say, if you believe them to be obsolete, your expectations may have been misplaced in the first place.
That man is the noblest creature may be inferred from the fact that no other creature has contested his claim.

How do you catch something when you're going the same speed as it?
I wanna join up. I think I got what it takes to be a Citizen.

Its bubble immune, that is all. And that is enough. |

1v1 Comet will beat a Taranis.
However Taranis is a better tackler as it's faster. This also makes it better at slingshotting kiters. MWD sig bloom reduction bonus also means it can avoid damage better and is a better at avoiding larger guns from larger ships during the approach, and last but not least immunity to bubbles is kind of a big deal in Nullsec. |

I wouldn't call it obsolete, but the Comet does suggest it may be pretty soon.
It can do much of the same work while really only suffering from the fat sig & fear factor.
The Taranis isn't as spooky a ship, and the bubble-resistance is great for 00 shenanigans.

That's the default roaming fit and, in the hands of a talented pilot, you'll find it really is quite resilient.
