Good player ship for anti-capital ship warfare
I have much success in my Split Tiger. IBL on the right turret (x2), PALC on the left (dropped by the various Qs and Carracks I've tangled with), Flak Artillery on the other turrets.
My Main cannons are 2x IBL, 6x CIG.
I find myself quickly kiting fighter swarms when going up against an M1, but M2s are slow moving easy kills (though it does take a while to whittle down)
