CNR
16.6% better base missile DPS output.
Crap passive tank, as most BSs.
Identical active tank to a regular Raven (negligibly better due to a tiny bit more passive recharge).
Rattlesnake
Same base missile DPS output as a normal Raven.
Pretty good passive tank (Drake-level even). A lot cheaper as the ship itself too.
Either slightly better active tank as a Raven or slightly better damage, due to extra lowslot (extra PDU or extra BCU).
Well seeing how a 4th BCU does jack for your damage, but you only have 6 missile hardpoints, there it no way a Rattlesnake will do better damage than a properly fit CNR. It only has better tank, but since the CNR can tank every lvl4 already anyway, there is no real point in using the Rattlesnake for missions except maybe its looks.
To me the actual main strongpoint of the CNR is not simply its higher DPS, but the fact that with 7 torps you always one-volley BCs, which is not possible with just 6. And one-volleying stuff helps a LOT with clearing the stages faster.
CNR = Best mission ship
Rattlesnake = Best PvP BS (along with the Bhaalgorn)

In fact the Drake DOES have the better passive tank. The RS is just the only BS where a passive tank is even an option. Of course the RS wins on total HP, but the Drake has the better recharge and resists.

He said "Raven", not "CNR".
Oh yeah... Well, the OP asked for comparison to CNR, not Raven

People always forget about the gun bonuses on the RS. One extra BCU, and 2 350 rails, will outdamage one extra cruise or torp if you got decent gunnery skills.
Also, the RS WAY more cooler.
That is just not true.
For one, a 4th BCU is only an insignificant increase in damage. Also:
1 Siege-II with 3 T2 BCUs = 96 dps on RS with BS and support skills 4 (5 in RoF skill)
1 350mm-II with no magstabs = 36.5 dps on RS with BS and support skills 4 (5 in RoF skill)
Seeing how torps do ALL their damage in the correctÖ damage type and the rails are stuck with kin/therm, even 3 of them would not be enough to make up the loss of one torp launcher imho. Two come away very lacking for sure. Considering most high end fits have DG BCUs and possibly missile implants, it is even worse for the guns there.
Really, the only thing going for a rattler vs CNR in L4s is looks. Nothing else.
