Its impossible to discuss anything with you Lyria so I won't even try. You really are the very definition of why arguing on the internet is akin to headbutting a wall. You fail to acknowledge widely undisputed failings with the Crow as a combat ship so its clear you've already made your mind up, yes you won the argument if thats what you want, now go away.
Oh, the irony. Get a clue, welsh.

The Crow is the only ceptor which:
- Can use bonused weapons no matter the speed or flight profile.
- Has the biggest default locking range.
- Can use weapons with equal effectiveness no matter the distance up to the locking range limit.
- Can switch damage type if needed.
- Can permarun a Gistii-A MWD and Domi disruptor without additional cap mods.
Uh, no. Malediction can also switch damage types, and it can also perma-run MWD and Disruptor.

With rockets ? That gives a real tactical depth. I was referring to the threat a Crow can represent with the conjunction of all these aspects: a Crow orbiting at 11 Km/sec doing 80 dps from 29 Km away and able to do it all day long 
A Malediction can use missiles too, you know, not to mention that the Crow cannot do 11km/s without rigs and snakes.

It's comments like this that make me wonder wether some of you people even fly these ships in any professional capacity.
I second that.

A good pilot with high nav skills and overheat skills flies a taranis. A noob flies ares an that might suit him better until he gets his nav skill up.
I think it is you that doesnt know anything about inties.
The Taranis is a rather bad tackler, whereas the Ares is one of the best in the game. Nobody in their right mind would use an Ares for solo PvP, or a Taranis for exclusively tackling.

You tell me, how many times have you failed tackling something just because you were in a taranis instead an ares?
Personally, so many times I've lost count. The Ares is far superior to the Taranis for tackling duty for all the reasons listed above, not to mention how it can stay outside Heavy Neutralizer range whereas the Taranis cannot.

In theory your point might be true. But this proves nothing but you playing theory eve and are clueless about how things actually work in pvp when you sit in an inty.
Taranis tackles just fine and is simply a better ship. Just like crows is simply better then a raptor.
I have been flying exclusively Interceptors since I started playing the game. I fail to understand how you can disregard the fact that the Taranis cannot tackle outside reach of heavy neutralizers. Even disregarding this vital fact, a ship that isn't cap stable and struggles to break 5000m/s (assuming a reasonably effective blaster-oriented fit) does not tackle "just fine" by any standards but yours.
Hopefully once you try these ships in their respective areas of expertise you will realize that the Ares is far better suited for tackling.

There are more than two scenarios in the vast world of tackling. For example, it's quite realistic to assume that you will be required to tackle a lone battleship until support arrives. Also, it's common for an Interceptor to be required to travel long distances in order to scramble an enemy ship.
These (and many more) are tasks that are better performed by the Ares.

The scenario of tackling a BS alone very very rarely happens. But yes ares would be better IN CASE the target happens to have a heavy neut. It will basically never happen that you
1. Be able to track a BS in a belt or similar (around gates you dont need to tackle for long)
2. BS has a heavy neut
You'll do fine in a taranis 99% of ops.
You'll also rarely miss a target just because you didnt warp at 13.5au/s but "only" warped at 9au/s. Most warp distances are so short for interceptors that the time diff is negligable.
No, there are not that many situations that commonly occur where you really NEED to be in ares. Taranis does just fine.
There are not that many situations that commonly occur where you needto be in a Taranis, either. "Just fine" may be sufficient by your standards, but certainly not for those of us who dedicate ourselves to tackling.
