when 6 normads can do over 3600 per shot, i dont see how the extra hull would help at all
with 6 codenames it is even worse
the number of guns, hull and agility arent the only things can be tweaked for balance, things like power, hull size, and the number of torps, mines, CD, countermeasures can also be changed too

Well, hull and all that stuff makes not much difference if the ship is in the hands of a skilled pilot.
I can quote as an example the second round of my fight with nesa. He in a slipstream and me in a RH bomber.
I won the first round, after ~45 minutes of battle.
He won the second round after ~45 minutes of battle.
There was a third round, but was interrupted by dinner :P
Consider that a Slipstream has a hull of 7000, a RH bomber has a hull of 22000.
Slipy has 63 NB/SB, RH Bomby has 145.
At that time, the RH bomber was as maneuverable as a Sabre (im fact, a little more maneuverable). Slipstream, as an eagle (some say a bit more).
Conclussion: As nesa was very skilled with that ship, he knew how to use it to defeat a more powerful oponent. So, the ship is as good as the (wo)man who flies it.
