If you're talking Incubus vs Python in a fight and even skill assumed, the Incubus wins every time if the Python refuses or fails to disengage. You just won't land enough missiles in succession 95% of the time to keep the Incubus weak enough to kill after the reload. The Incubus on the other hand can not only provide strong damage to shields, it does so very quickly and at a good range if your piloting skills are up to it.

Overall I'd say the Python is better, as small rails are the only anti Shield AV in the game (because lolplasma cannon), and Pythons are significantly more agile. Afterburner Pythons may be more squishy but they are a pain to hit. Without an AB they're still quick enough to disengage in a reasonable amount of time.

Most importantly though: Small Missiles. Once shield vehicles are gone from a match or at a minimum, the rail Incubus is essentially worthless and needs to be swapped to a missile fit to harass infantry and armor. The Python never needs to make that switch because Python Missiles can even punch through unhardened shield vehicles without much trouble at all.

But you can fit scanners on the incubus without sacrificing tank, what is realy reallt useful in PC, specially for the placing of OBs

In reality they are 2 different styles. An Incubus with plates, maybe some reppers is good for anti infantry duty as it can take a punch and due to armor weight is generally harder to knock around. Good for staying low and using cover. The Python, from what i've seen (don't fly them much), is a good dogfighter due to it's weight, and that bonus to missile turrets is awesome. See a lot of Pythons on anti tank duty. A hit and run sort of craft. Also seem to be perfered for the multi turret gunship fit. I personally perfer the Incubus. I love the way it handles with the weight, and I love flying low to the ground, working with tanks and using cover. Both strategies seem pretty viable. Switzerland is small and neutral. We're more like Germany. Ambitious and misunderstood. Futurama

Of course it depends on the pilot and other factors, but the Incubus has the upper hand. For general purpose, I prefer the python. Both, in my opinion are equally viable, it's really just preference. I believe the python handles better, either due to innate differences or the armor plates on the incubus, and I love the design of the python so much better than the bathtub incubus.

Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 836	Posted - 2014.04.01 02:46:00 - [9] - Quote I prefer the Incubus as I like to get in low and loiter. Rails have tons of potential but are hampered by the lazy job of aim point as it's just too easy to lose it in the white of the ship itself. So staying on target is that much harder then with missiles. I can put a missile just about anywhere I need to and generally hit uplinks on the first try yet i am all over the place with rails. I am getting better with practice but the aim point and the fact that missiles don't over heat the Python has a lot of advantages. CCP you better nail 1.8, as it stands 1.7 is a total disaster.

If anything I would put a shield booster but since I usually run a plate, I really need that boost. When everything does bonus damage to you, and your weak spot is more pronounced, and you take longer to wiggle around...every second counts lol. But yes, in that instance the Incubus does shine a bit more, though I personally would just fly back and recall after scanning >_< My DUST 514 Music Videos Solo Incubus pilot, superb expert of wallet depletion

Taurion Bruni D3ATH CARD 217	Posted - 2014.04.01 02:55:00 - [11] - Quote I feel that the python is more versatile, it can take on anything, with only the missiles (used to take out hardened shield tanks before the hotfix). my fitting I have is also versatile, you can either use it as a hold ground and fight, or a hit and run with concentrated fire on the area of interest to the squad. and I find that the swarms are not as bad as they were, I think I just got used to leveling myself out before the hit Pilot // Scout
