Thanks for this Video. Especially the comparison between the ships ist the important information most others dont do. The Long Intro otherwise nearly had me to quit before i could watch the important scene.
Gotta admit, this one and Mandalay are what I am looking forward the most. Cobra 5 is also finally one new ship that isnt clearly intentionally nerfed by small distributur. Maybe its way too good in most other areas tho. The powercreep is real. I actually noticed it was super similar to Asp Scout funnily lol. Pretty much same core internals, but Cobra 5 actually has MORE speed, MORE survivability, MORE internals and MORE utilities than AspS lol. Thats kinda sad and hilarious.
yeah and it's small! But don't be upset buddy: it's a new tech-era - I would be quite sad if it was WORSE than some existing smalls instead :D Even without new gen ships - barely possible to spot any cmdr in dropship, asp scout or cobra mk4. I feel the same with new one: perhaps Mandalay is more a long-range explorer and I rarely doing that, so for me: Type 8 and this Cobra are the ones I was waiting
Whereas the new medium ships didnt quite turn things on their head, being far more balanced for their size class, this ship really signifies a new generation for small ships in Elite. It just completely outclasses 90% dedicated role ships, as a multirole ship... Im hoping this means we will get more new small ships in 2025, like an updated version of the Diamondback Scout, or a new Viper - because as it stands, there seems to be no reason to pick anything else unless its a Vulture or maybe even a Courier.
that depends on: python mk2 has outstanding firepower due to amount of slots and ability to carry same amount of Pacifiers like Anaconda :D Which make it quite dominant in dps-dealing. Mandalay also outperforms any med ship at exploration and is like very close to jjumpo-conda level. But I get your point and also hope there gonna be more new gen ships. New tech process and stuff we've discovered during fights vs goids defo will push it
my goal was not the mission completion but testing its agility, boost transition into lats/verts, potential for range control and distro capabilities (boost spam with as much shooting as I could)
Do you have comparison (stock/engineered) of more/all ships in spreadsheet or video? E.g. comparing chieftain, fdl, phyton 1/2, mamba, krait... to see where agility vs hardpoints are better...
started doing it mostly with new gen ships appearing. There are vids with Python Mk2 comparison to FDL, Mandalay to Phantom and later - to FDL and Python Mk2, similar with Type 8. You may check playlist "Elite: ships/mechanics": ua-cam.com/play/PLy81GH1h-xSDiRS3auLEcp4unzCDKwKQi.html
@@Alswulf 4A with charge enhanced super conduit modification has about 29mv. After firing from 3 size 2 rails(5.1mv) and 2 size 1 rails (2.69mv) distributor capacity would be about 8mv. With 5.27 recharge rate and bonus from the heat sink it should fully restore it's power in about 3 seconds.
@@Alswulf during standard jousting fight target won't be in cross long enough for the second shot especially in range less than 1.2km. So distributor should have enough time for recharge
@@legendarykeks9595 cheers buddy! Regarding phasing multicannons - unfortunatelly it was a CG's reward. It was already 2nd time we had a chance to get them - so I would assume that somewhen soon we could have another chance from some CG. There is a testing vid for them also: ua-cam.com/video/b50UjQSrmb4/v-deo.html
:D it would be *devastating*, especially in a hand of pilots like you! We shall see: the way FDev did propose such reward already twice says that it could be a third one too! But no: no one has 4 of them cause 1st CG was "failed" (another goal for anothar faction was completed so we got if I remember correctly: double engineered seekers)
I would say it's gonna be the same as all prev new gen ships: 16k arx for default version and 32k for pre-build one (with ship kit, A-modules and paint)

..ah, I really wanted to make into dynamic and special. Cheers o7
IMHO it was actually pretty cool. Not everything should be ADHD/tiktok style
A decent review of the Cobra, took a while for me to find this, thanks
thank you! Glad to share :]
That's it, I'm in love.
Im buying it as soon as it comes out.
I also waiting for its release on public servers! Have you found a role for her already?
Holy hell, the opening shots with the music in the background.
You sure as hell know how to sell a ship!
such a pleasure to read your comment 💜 Really wanted to make it special!
Looks cool. I'll get one when i can get it for credits. 😃
niiice! You have a time to find and build its future role :]

Fantastic vid Alswulf. Fantastic
a pleasure to read such comment :] Thank you!
This thing is OP as f... but because she is a Cobra we will all cheer ! 💘💘💘💘 What about laterals/verticals?
:D it has quite god boost transition into lats/verts - not that good like Mandaley has but still good
Very nice work mate. What about the comparison with the Imperial Courier?
cheers! I bet it's *much* faster but doubt it has same durability.. Perhaps later will try to do comparison
I hoped you would compare the internal module slots.

In my opinion, for these missions, if you are on small ship, the best is 2 mine launchers and rail guns + reverski fly mode.

Wow this looks great.
Shields are better than on my chieftain 😂
😂 ..my FAS covered by shadows also.. But! It's a new tech-era!

when i can buy this ship?
December 10 it will be available for Arx. In 2 months: it should be available for ingame money
I've used Cobra MK3 for exploration, so may be MK5 will be my choice. o7
that's gonna be decent upgrate :] It's very cofrortable in sc
I sometimes liked using my cobra iv but as soon as I get this ship it’s permanently going into storage lol
:D
Hull tank mk5 with 4 heat sinks and 5 srb rails would hit hard...
..it would.. if her distro would allow it :D Might try to check it

ye, but what about constant pressure and boosting? You think heatsink will recharge it fast for next or next after that shot that fast?
@@Alswulf during standard jousting fight target won't be in cross long enough for the second shot especially in range less than 1.2km. So distributor should have enough time for recharge
that might work. Unless you meet another srb-de lance :D Though I would try not 5 rails but 3 + mcs (corrosion is quite helpful to rails)
Hey Alswolf, Nice video :))
I was wondering what this multicannon is that shoots like 4 shots at once. Is it new?
Never mind i just saw them. how would one be able to obtain them?

@@Alswulf Does that mean one could already have 4 of them?

Anyone confirm what the Cobra is going to cost yet Arx wise?
I would say it's gonna be the same as all prev new gen ships: 16k arx for default version and 32k for pre-build one (with ship kit, A-modules and paint)
The only reason I ask is cause the older ships were about 33,000. The new Mandalay was about 40.
oh, didn't know that! Then I have no info about it - only waiting till Dec 10
Why not compare with Cobra MK4
cause not many players have it and its overall - worse imho than mk3
Rpgdivision...is that you?😂
..just checked the guy: I think you like such accent :]
Da u menia takoj zhe😂
:D
to slow for be better than mandalay, the mk5 should be over 650
well, it has much smaller hitbox though and even while being heavy - it's possible to have ~600 m/s boost while Mandaley gonna be close to 550
@Alswulf mk3 was over 610 - 620 . and a good mandalay build is around 565 to 580
but mk3 barely close to maneuverings, boost strength, distro size and sco optimization.
And have less hull with less weaponry and less utilities :]
@@Alswulf i agree mk5 is better than mk3, but not worth 16000 arx when you already buy the mandalay.
that could be yeah. Still I would love to test it properly: perhaps since its a small ship - it might have its niche purpose in combat too
I don't like kits
I assume later there gonna be some "fangs" or tails
I didn't like the color of the ship.
it's the one which come with pre-build. Default one is classic blue
