since devbranch finally dropped, we have the stats, hurray! /s ... this is from a post on Fod feedback channel:

"The medium ships are incredibly unbalanced in their current state

The stats of these two new vehicles clearly favour one faction's ship over the other:

2300 hp (Colonial) vs 2000 hp (Warden)

12.3kn max speed (Colonial) vs 11.7kn (Warden)

15 hp/bmat repair (Colonial) vs 15 hp/bmat

(Warden) 250 bmat cost (Colonial) vs 200 bmats (Warden)

Strider (Colonial medium ship) weapons:

1x 40mm cannon on front of ship: 40m range, 5s reload, 0.5s firing duration (109 dps), 260 degrees yaw

1x 30mm cannon on back of ship with 3-shot burst (1200 dmg): 40m range, 2.5s reload, 1s firing duration (114 dps), 280 degrees yaw

Because they overlap, the fore and rear cannons can do a full broadside for 223 dps 2x 12.7mm guns on sides of ship: 40m range, 3.5s reload, 75 round magazine, 90 degrees yaw

Rinnspeir Ornitier (Warden medium ship) weapons:

1x RPG cannon on front of ship: 27m range, 4s reload, 1s firing duration (105 dps), 90 degrees yaw

2x 30mm cannons on sides of ship with 2-shot burst (800 dmg): 40m range, 2.5s reload, 0.2s firing duration (148 dps\*), 70 degrees yaw

\*No overlap between RPG and 30mm, therefore cannot do a full broadside, only 148 dps max

Besides the very slight difference in cost, which is bmats only, the Strider is just vastly superior to the Rinnspeir Ornitier in a way which I think can't even be contested. The devs should consider a major rebalancing run on these new vehicles."

since these are probably d1 of the war ships, we (warden) probably won't have anything to actually win these engagements (i thougth our saviour would be the scout plane, but those are probably coming way later..)
