So far, only got to play two matches with them.
1. Lost it to a redline railgun turret. for some odd reason, my shield boost did not activate, but went on CD anyways.
2. First dropship to dropship combat: Resounding success got lucky and killed his gunner with a single missile(yeah, not going to pretend that was skill) and later he ran into the ground and died. Lost it to the redline. tunnel visioned and shot down a standard dropship with the same pilot. Oddly enough, I exploded a full 3 seconds before it finished counting down.
Conclusion: They could use just a tiny bit more HP/fittings, Shield boosters could use a quick look by the devs, and damn do small missiles hit harder than I remember. Also, you need to maintain your angle it you're trying to afterburn to the ceiling, if you just let it, the afterburner's effect will flip you from how much extra thrust is generated.
Needs more data: Going to max out caldari assault, and small missiles, will present more refined findings then.
All current testing conducted with Caldari Python, Solo fit(afterburner, shield booster, shield hardener, I think I have an armor rep for emergencies.). Intended testing: Squad fit(3 missiles, Hardener, Booster, Afterburner, PG boost).
If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

It did take 3 shots to down me(same as a standard tank) and I activated the booster, but it didn't boost at all. This has happened several times on my tanks as well. It is an annoying bug that typically results in a loss of vehicle.
And never underestimate speedtanking. 4 seconds from the ground to the ceiling, 10 to the enemy redline, and only several billion miles to zanzibar(note, this depends on the location of the planet, and the relative location of earth, pending earth still existing)
and all my piloting experience is with planes(IRL) so these are kind of tricky getting used to. Really wish they would put in the fighters. But that's something for another day.
