@McNeo, remember the Sabre has 2 more guns than the Werewolf... (1 gun + 1 forward-turret). Also the wolf is a hellava lot bigger, it's just a big fat target. Although it is a bit silly that such a huge ship should turn so sprightly, but it has many disadvantages to compensate.
Actually the Sabre turns a bit faster than the vanilla HF's and VHF's, notably the Titan (but except the Hammerhead of course). Plus with 7 foward guns it out-shoots just about anything.
