5/5,

Hunchback cousin with 1xJJ and SRM4 for brawl.
Quite slow for a 55 tonner, whenever a free trade is possible try to poptart with that AC20 before engaging.

ALT: If is cool enough or has been fully skilled, try removing the DHS and swapping LE270 for a LE280

 

I like to call it the “Howitzer Hawk”. My version is faster and jumpier at the expense of some SRM alpha - so, it is:
AC20 + 3SRM2 + 3JJ + LFE300



SRM2s are highly underestimated- while the alpha is technically half that of SRM4, the spread is significantly lower and the tightly clustered tubes on the Shadowhawk can get the most out of it. The DPS of SRM4 is only 33% higher than SRM2 due to the lower cooldown of the later.

With the 300 rated engine and 3JJs the Shadowhawk feels agile enough for all kinds of flying shenanigans while shaking enemy cockpits hard with that AC20. Not many flying AC20s out there.
Great fun
