Recently CCP boosted the hp of T2 plates, whilst leaving tungsten with much better mass and fitting reqs. Have people tried them out or seen them around much? Are there any good fits or is the hp boost not big enough to warrant the tighter fit and higher mass? Are there any cookie fits with a lot of fitting left over that would be the natural candidates for the new plates?

Well its hard to list all the fits in which it does or doesnt work. But they mainly work for frigs, the 200 T2 doesnt take that much extra and battleships since the extra room for the T2 1600s are hardly ever a problem there either.

I like them and I use them when I can, the extra tank is worth it IMO. I am sure some prefer the speed, but as a Gallente Blaster guy the extra tank is much more useful than then little bit of speed since Blasters are web/right in your face anyways.

As I see it, here's what it boils down to. In fleets where mobility is a non-issue and there is fitting room to spare, T2 will be superior. If agility is an issue or fitting room is limited, meta4 will be the plate to use.
