Haven't you learned yet? In this conversion hitpoints and guns mean CRAP. It's high maneuverability and engine performance you want for a REAL challenging foe. Look at the F-44, it has the
lowest[/b] hitpoints of any fighter in the game but it is the most powerful space superiority fighter available. I personally think it even beats out the F-56 for pure Space superiority. The Type-39 is a scary opponent also, 90(!)mps top speed WITHOUT afterburners.
The French won't be introduced until Episode 2 methinks (hell, I
just got the
demo for episode 1, act 1 finished. Should be posted on my website NLT November 7).
