One problem in pvp is the omni tank. But if the opponent is not omni tanked he will most probably not tank the em dammage. "He fly ammarr so I fit em" in fact nearly never work. You would need to be in a system with a station, having the hardener ready seeking it through your asset, before refit.
And the case of switching hardener "in the field" is near to impossible, even with a carrier nearbye you have to have forseen the need of an em hardener.
Wich make EM damage sometime the best damage type arround. We pawned 3 carrier one weeks ago, all three were em weak while armor tanking (including the archon). The first ship after the torps (mjolnir of course) raven was an abbadon or another ammarr bs.
Most of people if they specifically harden there ship will harden against kinetic/thermic.
In case of doubt when you dont have the choice to cycle your torp/cruise (target too small), caldari will use kinetic missile due to their bonuses, so it's not entirely unpredictable.
Basicly the ammarr perhaps have the best raw dps arround (no reload, well 1/1000 shot for t2 crystal). They got cap problems, but if you shut down your laser you get a hell of a tank.(a couple days ago in c6c, ratel gatecamp, scrammed against 1 phoon 1 manticore 1 ceptor (raptor) against my lone ill fitted (half the mods where from my ratting setup), my screen shaked from the acs and cruise pounding on my ship, I was 12 k away, webbed, no ab, running toward a stargate, that was my last hope. And as hopeless as my situation was, I survived ! and with more than 50% hp if I'm correct. That's only a bc, imagine a bs).
Ammarr do not excell anywhere, I grant it, we dont have a "flagship" that stands out of the lot except in a beauty contest.
But personnally I fly a ship that I can appreciate the sight, I barely survive flying tackling rifter. My personal toolbox doesnt include duct tape. My harbinger ships are called Pride because I cherish them, they are beautifull and extraordinary tool of destruction, they inflict (damage type or not) sheer damage. They tank like crazy, but got difficulty to do both at the same time.
You wont get extrreeeeeeemmmmmmeeee range sniping setup with amarr ship, you'll get long range.
And good new, you got the longest range short range weapon.
So "They can't master anything" but they are reliable.
Past 10km other race suck at short range. If you can web your opponent he is helpless to your heavy guns.
It even apply to their fighter.
And if you play with your speaker on, is their anyone in this room that can honnestly say that there is something in this game that is more impressive and terrifying than the sound of a mega/tachyon broadside  . (Ok I forgot that there is the allmighty 425mm bb gun  ).
Well you may understand that I don't seek a master of his class ship. I try to find the best way to use mine, and I enjoy flying amarr (with laser, artillery are for heretics).

You are looking at the downside.. amarr suck vs armor tanks.
Well they are also very good vs shield tanks.
In a 3v3 battle or whatever.. you will help a lot more on the raven than the other people.. but be slightly worse at killing the omni tanked domi or whatever.
It's only valid against omni tank as I said, the amarr ship is nearly guaranteed to have good damage when the guy decide to harden his weakness, making his strong point fade away
