The ship of WC4 are excellent. There are new ships for the Confeds.
One of them the Bearcat. The Bearcat and the Excalibur are similar.
Here's the comparison:
Bearcat Excalibur
Weapons- 4 Tachyon guns,4x2 missile hardpoint 4 Tachyon guns,
2 Ion guns,
4x2 m. hardpoints
Even though the Excalibur has two Ion guns, most people would
probably only use the Tachyon guns. Winner: Excalibur
Shields and Armor- 280cm 150cm 250cm 110cm
More shields and armor the better. Winner: Bearcat
Velocity- 550 max. 1400 afterburners 500 max.
1300 afterb.
Higher velocity can be important in combat and other unusual
situations. Winner: Bearcat
Jump capailibity- None Yes
Jump capailibity is very useful and a fighter with it can be use in
long and diffcult missions. Winner: Excalibur
Yaw Pitch Roll- 90 80 90 70 75 70
High Yaw, Pitch and Roll is important in intense combat. Winner:
Bearcat
Decoys- 24 16
Useful against enemies that fires a lot of missles. Winner: Bearcat
Overall the Bearcat is better even though it doesn't have jump
capability. The Bearcat even looks better. But I would trade speed,
movement, shields and armor for jump capability.
