Thankyou Quarto, atleast someone is reading properly.
The only thing that could make the Vind a medium fighter is its gun set, which is a bit on the light side for a heavy.
To say that only the classification matters is stupid, from a real world point of view its dangerous.
A heavy fighter is essentially a heavily armored platform for a lot of guns, with usually poor speed and handling.
Now lets say a Kilrathi pilot is sat in his bunk, he recieves an update about a new Ape fighter. He reads that it is a heavy, nothing more.
This fighter is called the Excalibur.
So our pilot hops in his Dralthi, meats an Excalibur, just as he is about to swing onto this heavy's tail the Excalibur does a snap turn, dives and comes up behind him.
Our Kitty goes boom.
See my point.
