That is pretty much the reason I don't recommend any newbie to train for AF, T3D. For PVE they're are a side grade (at best) anyway and for PVP they're very limited unless you have a gang, RR, ECM or all 3 to back you up.

Go for interceptors. Assault frigates are the most redundant ships in the game.

I wanna join up. I think I got what it takes to be a Citizen.

Svipuls are far superior for fleet doctrines also. The standard shield fleet fit with dual MSE and an invuln gets 30k+ EHP in defense mode with links, and has more DPS than blaster harpies/enyos.

The only decent AF comp is rail harpies, other than that they're useless.

So what are the odds they'll be nerfed by the time my 6 month skill plan gets me within spitting distance of a t3 destroyer? Lol

learn the EVE cycle

Step 1) CCP introduces something useful that has good stats and obvious applications
Step 2) loads of players start to train this new thing because even 5% better is still better and worth using
Step 3) the new thing makes it into fleet doctrines
Step 4) other players/alliances who have the wrong build/playerbase to use this new thing complain its OP on forums
Step 5) CPP nerf the new thing to the extent that it is now useless

Svipuls are currently being used by every man and his dog in PVP. They have killed the frigate meta and made an entire class of ship completely worthless.
