Hookbill Counter

Question

Hi FW warfare enjoyers ,

I’ve recently dived into FW after suggestions here on Reddit ! It’s been fun. I am still doing frigate until I get the hang of all the dynamics and mechanics.

If you haven’t already noticed , there is a lot of Calgary navy hookbills around. There is a ton of comets too but I find myself much better able to gauge an engagement with those.

With its 5 mid slots, there is a lot more possible fits. The one I haven’t been able to counter yet is the dual TD or sometimes the dual web single TD.

Turret ships get TDed and they seem to run from a missile ship of equal strength. Like if I show up in a dingy T1 missile frig, they take the fight but then I lose.

So what’s the game play ? There is just sooooo many hookbills in the warzone. And most of the time they are already in a plex. So is there a good ship and approach to slide in on one those and have a decent chance at winning ?
