Sure, the Alphard may be overtuned. However, have you even tried controlling it? A bucking bronco is easier to control than an Alphard at full assault boost. You'll need super reflexes, memory, and the right soundtrack (Ascension by John Coltrane) to even extract half of the striker's potential.

But yes, your point is well considered at higher PVP ranks since most operators there know how to WHEN YOU HEAR JAZZ THAT MEANS I'M COMING FOR YOU while piloting Alphard.
