I really find the mossi way better than the Reaver, how about you!

I use my Reaver as a transport.

Its mostly junk.

I actually like the Reaver more. For whatever reason I find it more maneuverable.

Mosquitoes are a real pain in the ass to hit with my Titan-150 AP.

I use A2Am and only want to shoot down other planes. From my perspective my reaver is fine, it's not as good as my mossy, but my mossy has wayyyy more certs in it (just rolled my NC guy a week or so ago). My reaver is as good as my mossy when it had the same cert investment.

The thing is my reaver is different, it's not as agile or as fast - huge deficiences. On the flip side though with 5 rounds in the shotgun it's every bit as good in CQ combat as a maxxed rotary clip in terms of dps (and I still got two rounds to go!), and my reaver is much easeir to kick into hover mode for more advanced manuevers.

Reaver feels fine to me as an A2A platform. If I used a standard rocket pods /w rotary loadout it would just be inferior though, so I can see why that's the general consensus since that loadout is the FOO loadout and everyone uses it.
