I'm guessing the ares damage bonus will disappear with this change. Can I haz a cheeseburger,... er, I mean can the ares have a third launcher slot to at least get some equivalence to the crow (note that ares can't hit at long range with rockets), as the ares does pathetic damage even with the damage bonus atm.
I think most ares pilots would be happy getting rid of one of the 75 mm gatling rails. The gatling rails are only used for shooting pods, shuttles or small warp bubbles.

i would rather have another gun ceptor for an ares than missiles.
Roden can suck me.
Then again if im using ares to tackle at 28k i dont intend on using any weapons that much cept maybe to plink at drones or pods.
It depends if the devs intend to have the tackling inties at that range do a small amount of damage, or no damage at all. Because with the Ares as it is, you'll have trouble fitting turrets to operate at that range.
If the ares went all hybrid it would remain mostly unpopular as the ranis does that job really well.
The ares already speed tanks while dropping missles with 20 or 24km disruptor (depending on cap usage and if intended to perma run). I'd rather have missles for choice of damage and no tracking issues over struggling to fit t2 rails.

It is a specialized ship doing its given role. It should be good at it. Why wouldn't it take a specialized ship to stop it? Its not like the tackling ints are going to kill much by themselves. They're just going to hold something till the gang shows up.
Ways to Counter:
Some AF
Destroyers- Remember those things that no one uses except as a pre-req?
Huginn
Overheated Faction Web
A partner at range to catch the int when transversal is low in the orbit.
Drones
T2 missiles
Now, some of these don't work all the time, or against max skilled/faction fit. But once again, its not like the int will actually hurt you. While its holding you waiting for its friends, call your friends.
"A partner at range to catch the int when transversal is low in the orbit"
This is all you need. Or rather 1 partner with a web that positions himself somewhere that his webrange goes into the inties orbit. Whats so hard about this?
hello interceptor, meet my 100km range muninn/eagle.
..now CCP only needs to fix the Afrigs and give a 5th turret to the eagle.
A 6th turret for vulture as well?
