Claw and Crow masses should be switched.
Agree'd - the claw is soley dependant on catching its opponent and entering close range combats, where it excells... But the crow is so light, that with faction/t2 mods it can out-strip the claw, unless its also fitted for extreme speed; which stop it using its extra powergrid for tanking etc. to its advantage.
lets be honest these days you need 3 I-Stabs on your claw, and you only use like 34-40 PG (even with 200's)... so the 40PG base that allows your JaegerBomb's becomes redundant.
On a related note, caldari are supposed to have the lowest PG of al the races in every ship - yet the crow is join 3rd with the ranis, malediction etc. just behind the Claw and 'sader. I mean with AWU you can fit 3x Standard launcher II, shield booster, Mwd, scram then all 3 lo's are free for speed mods... no extra fitting needed! Comon!
So when you come across a shield boosting Crow, with a cap hungry 20km scrambler and no web and 3 speed mods all you have to do is tank one volley of missiles theen wait for 10-15 seconds and he will be out of cap... At this point an afterburning rifter will be fast enough to can go in and get a web and nos on him and that is the end of the Crow. If not he is still MWDin then I can assure you that the disruptor is off, so just warp away :) You need maxed cap skills and at least 2 CPR's to keep a 20km disruptor and MWD going for any decent length of time.
Do most Claw pilots not fit a 400mm plate anyway, surely this mod negates any mass reduction advantage anyway? I would expect for you to be asking for a 3rd mid to make the Claw really excel at close range combat...
Or am I getting this wrong? You want to fit 400mm plate, be as fast as an inty setup purely for long range speed and cap sustainability and still do enough close range damage to take out any inty you get in range of, whilst also being the fastest MWDing inty (which you won't even have switched on in close range orbit), yep, makes perfect sense to me.
