About Anaconda VS Corvette in turns of maneuverability

Sorry if somebody have asked this before.
Does anyone have both Anaconda and the Federal Corvette.
There are only 3 Corvette in this game, and I know Imperial Cutter is the lest maneuverable one.
What about between Anaconda and Federal Corvette?
According to this link below, the Federal Corvette is the more maneuverable one.
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Roll-and-Acceleration-for-(nearly)-Everyship

However, also according to this link, the maneuverability is also depend on the mass of the ship proportional to the optimal mass.
In that case, the Federal Corvette has way higher mass.

Both Anaconda and FC have a grade 7 thruster which provide the ship with an optimal mass of 2160 tons.
But a fully updated Anaconda is about 1250 tons unladen mass. But the FC is about 1785 tons.

So in practices, which one is more maneuverable ones? Can anyone please let me know. Thanks in advance.

As others said Corvette is much more maneuverable unless you compare a fully fitted stock Corvette with a dirty drive upgraded Anaconda in a light loadout, which i dont know what will happen then.

Dog fighting in a ship the size of a football stadium: ridiculous. Really wish capital ships would be treated like the aircraft carriers, freighters, and battleships they really are, and not slow moving TIE Fighters.

I don't fully agree with you.
Those ships are corvettes, not capital ships.
In Navies, smallest ships are called fast attack crafts (FAC), like Python, Clipper, Gun boat and Assault boat.
Larger than the FAC is the Corvette, like the Federal Corvette, Anaconda and the Cutter. Corvette is the smallest Ship, and not a boat.
Larger than the Corvette is the Frigate, and larger then is the Destroyer, then Cruiser, then the largest is the battleship.
Therefore, Corvettes can never be a capital ship. They are so small.

With Dirty Drives 5, it handles almost like an unmodified FDL
an FDL with more guns and shields

Having said that, my Corvette and Anaconda have a very similar pitch rate when comparably equipped (less than 1 degree difference). Of course this is on paper and I havent compared them at zero pips and 4 pips to Engines...

Corvette with DD 5 and upgrades on MC makes you feel you have Harlock warship (manga).

My anaconda became my long distance mining ship.

And which mod is better in terms of maneuverability, dirty or clean drive tuning, let's say both lvl 5 ?

Owning Both of them, the Corvette is more maneuverable, seems to me that it has much better vertical thrusters an it does not drift as the Conda. I have finaly collected 30 unknow fragments an going to try DD G5 on the vette.

But generates more heat.

Which is not an issue on a Corvette as it is one of the best cool running ships in the game outside of the Diamondback ships. You can load up on heat with a Vette where other ships might have slight issues. Trust me I have two fully modded out combat Vettes you can even go through a whole class 6 SCB with out getting into malfunction territory on modules with out using heat sinks.

I wish we could get capital ships :D
For a sense of scale

Lets compare apples to apples. Are you honestly saying that dogfighting in something the size an aircraft carrier or a football stadium... makes sense?

Apparently the answer from Frontier is "yes".

But any of these ships are insanely huge when we compare it to fighter aircraft (things that actually dogfight). I assume this is to make them easier to hit at the ranges involved with the lousy targeting system being used.

What's the naval equivalent of dog-fighting? I suspect frigates can do it against PT boats.

The first picture is really bad when it comes to size ratio. The USS Ronald Reagan is 330 meters long. Anaconda is 150m long (according to ED wiki).
The second picture is also strange, but in opposite way. Football (soccer) field is approx. 100m long.

Anaconda has had a stealth nerf when the Corvette came out. It started to drift more and overheat more. Before that it was more or less like the Corvette is.
