Why a tackling AF? That's silly and the inty's role already.
One TANK and one GANK AF should be the layout. Be nice to see some heavily tanked af's out thar, ratting or whatever.
or one "base" and one "multi-purpose" AF.
ex of enyo and ishkur or vengeance and retribution.
both enyo and retri are the embodiment of their respective races' philosophies: the enyo is (well, at least should be) a solid blaster boat with good armor and capable of dishing immense damage at point-blank; and the retri is what amarr should be: trading flexibility for hard hitting lasers and a tank that shrugs off at any other frigate-sized ship.
ishkur however is different: trades direct firepower for more flexibility and a larger drone bay; and the vengeance is a bastard son: armor tanking missile spewer with good flexibility.
...that is what I think how Afrigs should be: 1 that is the race mirror through and thru, and the other is less orthodox.
that said: I say that the retri needs a 5th turret and more grid, and the enyo a bit mass shaved off.
I Agree.
An Example of the Enyo.
I'm an AF Pilot (Although I don't fly them anymore because they are more trouble then they are worth).
Some people have a playstyle to flying it with Rails and with the odd ball missile launcher. But honestly....The Ishkur is better at that role. Long range with the drones and can tank if needed.
Rails on an Enyo DO NOT do more damage then a fitted Ishkur. It should and needs to be a Made Blaster Boat, Its of Gallente Design not a Harpy.
It ****es me off to see that the Jag and Wolf can outdamage something that (passes off gimped) as a Gallente Blaster Boat as the minnie ships are faster and have double damage bonus' with Enyo's Single bonus.
Being a Assault Frigate, Enyo cant be a blaster boat as once its webbed its toast (It goes for all AF's).
I'm all for Signing for AF's to get a Web Resistence Role Bonus. Enyo needs to lose the Optimal bonus and get its T1 counterparts Falloff and damage bonus.
Using Afterburners does sound fun as just about every ship (except some exceptional Command ships) in game fits MWDs to get in Range. It would give it more use if there was changes.

personally i think a web immune ship is more than a little overpowered.
why? Because large gank turrets + webbed target shouldnt be the the solution to every encounter. Might actually give more room for smaller turreted ships.
How exactly would you kill a small ship when you can't web? The last thing we need to make a ship class that survives by speedtanking and is immune to the only other counter.
And just what are Destroyers and Stealth bombers for?

Holy Hecks, It just occured to me.
But your Proposed Wolf Does alot of damage with all those bonus'es which is more then the Enyo.  
And Enyo shouldn't have an optimal bonus. Its supposed to be Falloff =p
Hope they fix AF's.

Rail Enyo with optimal bonus is great. Falloff bonus for blasters doesn't buy it anything anyway.
It is still **** (lol) compared to the Minnie AF's which blow it out of the water for damage which gallente are so nice at and decent speed.
It should be geared for blasters up close and personal.
If you want a rail platform on an Assault frigate, Grab a Harpy....or for lazy people that wont change race. AN ISHKUR. =/
