Are TF Stealth Fighters weaker than the Stealth Fighters of other factions?

I think the tf Stealth Fighter is weaker than the other Stealth Fighters:
-same energy
-same # of guns
-same signature
-same guns
But:
- No Hunters/Combat drones
=> you can't kill a scout while shooting the miner
=> much harder to defend against bomber runs because you get instantly eyed when you fire
And TF doesn't start with Lt ints/Fighters at the beginning.
Advanced TF stealth figs have a third gun as a replacement for hunters

Maybe give them a bit more energy so that they could do almost as much as damage as the other sfs
Or give them another small perk.

Do you think the same ?

TF guns are better. And once they get all the tech, TF stealth fighters can kill bombers from beyond turret range.

imo the srp killer should have an anti light armor counterpart, free with tac

i think i small sig perk is all that is really needed as tf is supposed to be a strong end game faction (i think =])

Leave TF the hell alone. They have strong endgame tech, why should their Enh tech be strong? It shouldn't.

Their Adv. SFs are pretty F'ing l33t.

Indeed. Their sniper2's have a range of 1337m.

At original poster: You forgot the SRP killers, a truly devastating tool, and the fact that they can carry plasgens, prox (if they steal em), teleport probes, beacons, and I think probes and pulse probes.

Yeah the advanced are fine but the normal ones are weak. I've seen only a few games with tf tac from the beginning.
And weakening the sf doesn't change the incredible hitbox of their ints.

Should their standard tech be weaker than any other faction?

Tell me how to defend with util 2 tf normal sfs vs a bbr run? They don't have a backup lt int or fig or patt.

if you dont have snipers by the time you have sfs up your commander should be mutinied and booted for not knowing what the hell hes doing. That being said tf can build two sc towers at once, and sfs can carry like 3 plas gens per rack. Having bombers is also a good idea to use as gs
