I disagree with these. Its pretty damn far from black and white to ask if the deimos can take on these. Anything coming close to 10km, or 13km even, is better to have a backup plan.

I think the point is not that the Deimos can't kill those ships if it can tackle them, but that it can't realistically tackle them with any degree of reliability.
HAC - will either kite it or be too far off
Recon - likewise
Inty - yeah same again
EAF - and again
Stealth bomber - range and cloak
HAC - Not every HAC is a nano HAC, even there it is still easy enough to run away for the Deimos if he cant get a web on. Deimos is one of the fastest out of factory.
Recon - very very fitting dependent. Falcons ... well ok cant do crap. For the rest, it all depends on fittings ... unless we are only talking about 3x mag stab neutron Deimos ... which i rarely fly.
Inty - Oh, Im tackled ... Big deal. You have plenty of time to have him make a mistake ... or run outta cap.
EAF - same
Stealth Bomber - It wont be able to play the cloaking game long enough to kill you ... by then you should be pretty close to him, if not uncloaking him.
IMO, anybody who can answer the above questions by a yes/no type of answer needs to get more in game pvp experience.

All in all, the situations where a Deimos is a better choice than a Brutix or Myrm are those where really you don't want any of the three.
Really ? Can you explain because this doesnt make any sense to me.

... then a Deimos isn't an ideal choice either ... you'll want something faster ... even a rail-Deimos.
So your saying that a better option to a Deimos, could be a Deimos ?
Hmmk, yeah, right ... I think I got it.
Its really a broken ship, isnt it ?

Well, when you have supposedly the premier blaster cruiser frequently better off fitting rails, it does kinda suggest that something's not quite right.
Do you really expect that having blasters in anything else than a solo or small gang fight will perform better than having rails ?
Deimos aint a bad ship, theres alot of bad Deimos pilots, tho.

Nerf the Deimos, its clearly too good.
It generates threads and threads going for pages and pages ... grabbing everybodys attention ... that alone is overpowered.
And on top of it, its camo !
Nerf it, its just too good to be true.
