Lyria you are clueless. Crow is the most flown interceptor in the game because most players like orbiting stuff bennyhill style and shooting missiles. It excels at killing t1 cruisers and that's about it. All other combat interceptors see the Crow as a free kill.
Ares is best tackler in the game (30km point, uber speed, 3 medslots), maybe the people in your area of space didn't get the memo yet? Ares can even kill Crow lol.

Precisions won't hit >5km/sec intys (which is like all of them). Check the explosion velocity, you would need loads of flare rigs to start doing damage. Even then the damage is pathetic.
Crow needs to be CHANGED (not buffed or nerfed) because it is absolutely the worst in it's class. It is supposed to be a combat interceptor, designed for killing other intys/frigs. Just like the Claw, Taranis and Crusader. The Crow fails so badly at it's role that it loses to tackler intys like ares/stiletto.
I would suggest changing it's 10% damage bonus to a 5% (to all missile type) bonus, and giving it an extra 5/10% explosion velocity bonus as well. This would let it hit interceptors with it's missiles and fulfill it's role. Ofc massive whining will ensue because people don't use the Crow in it's role.
As for the Raptor.....well you got me there  |

They still hit for reduced damage, and the base dps is lousy anyway. It's embarassing to lose to Crow.

All these people saying Crow is uber are living in a fantasy land where their opponents are subpar. In reality a competent pilot flying a Taranis/Claw/Crusader can take on multiple Crows easily. Taranis vs 3 Crows = Crows get owned.

I was explaining why people tend to fly crows instead of raptors and taranii instead of arii. Both taranis and crow do the tackling job basically just as well as their tackling version.
That's a nice generalization, but it's got no basis in fact. Nobody flies a Taranis "instead of" an Ares. An Ares is a way better tackler, since it is a lot faster, gets the 28km scram range, and also has much better lock range. An Ares and Taranis are as different as it gets while remaining in the same ship class.
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.
Just stop posting Lyria, you are a clueless Troll. Taranis is NOT a better tackler than Ares.
