Paladin or Templar?

[Hidamari]

I own a BPA) Commerce Control Division Clydesdale and just like Baconsoda said "aww a clydesdale.. how cute, no i wont be listening to you today" happened outside leeds, and this was a universal armour 8 royal liner. trying to run the embargo. so after a long and grueling fight, I killed him while he was docking on stokes even after his other liner friend came to help him.

I fly all the ships bretonia has to offer, Hussar is a fantastic ship and easily my favourite and longest served of them all.

and unlike some people, I think the Bretonian shipline is the best looking and most interesting one in the game. which is partially a downside because it means modellers cant just create *generic aircraft looking model* and say its bretonian, like you can do with mother other factions, so the bretonian shipline gets neglected.

Hussar if flown right (and you know how to use mines) can easily defeat average and below skill level pilots in any fighter class, obviously the more skilled they are the harder time, and there are times when a 1 vs 1 with a hussar vs a heavier opponent is just not an option because the opponent is very skilled. as will all light fighters, your shield is your health bar, if you lose it you should be running around till it comes back, regardless if they moan or not. as with all light fighters, you are always on the verge of death, even at full health and bots bats. requires patience and concentration.

Paladin is a good ship, and i much prefer using a paladin to fight chimeras than a templar (partly because im so used to light fighters) It has a good turn and movement reaction speed and 2 more guns of course, but it doesnt really have the core to support all its guns in this case. It is not as long as a hussar and also shorter too, but it is 2x as wide. the arcs on the weapons could also be in a more desireable location too. as heavy fighters go, its not so bad as everyone makes out.

Templar is a nice ship. ive practically only just started to use this ship and it is the second vhf ive used in this mod, the first being the eagle. It is a beast and with a good set of 2.00's and a decent aim you can really dish out the damage, people claim the templar is underpowered, and even I myself once did, now i do not think this is true at all. it is a fantastic ship to fly, and with skillful flying, even nimble ships will be punished by your ability to tank them. it has an odly shaped hitbox too so if moving in a particular way you arent as easy to hit as its slow turning may suggest. from my limited experiance of the templar is that if you want a strong fighter for a bretonian character, pick this one.
