Two good AC pilots >= a good EAD pilot.
A great AC pilot == a good EAD pilot
Two great AC pilots >= a great EAD pilot.
Three good AC pilots == A great EAD pilot.
And, in some instances of my own experience...
A great AC pilot > two mediocre EAD pilots.
True story, made a pair of EADs go running tails tucked with - forward armor & the full ring completely depleated  Twice... hehe.

Jack's EAD > Everyone o/
Oh, and a great EAD pilot will always win against a AC, no matter the skill of the AC's, because the great EAD pilot isn't silly enough to bite off more than he can chew  .

But a great AC pilot can track a dread on radar almost anywhere. And I'm just talking in terms of which can make which leave the battlefield first.

I know the EAD in 481 was great to fight against. I flew against it in my days before GTN. The AD could stand up against it if the pilot knew what he was doing, and I had some great battles against some of the finest EAD pilots there were. I was sad to see the flux beams go, but I thought they were reduced to 2/ship before just the supply could use them....or was that how they initially were, a bit hazy there.
All I know is when I joined GTN during 481 I started flying scouts and dessies in the MV, because anyone could survive in an EAD, took skill to survive against cl2kluth in a ugto aslt dessie
