Archangel wins because that boat got Kira. I win this agrument.

Seriously though, The Archangel got those beam deflector thingies and the Minerva got that slow ass Isolde cannon and one positron cannon. Archangel wins they armament part of this.

Now for mobility. Archangel did 1/4 of a barrel roll in a matter of seconds when the Isolde fired at them, this also shows that the Isolde only can hit targets that doesn't move, god what a shitty gun. We have not seen Minerva do any type of impressive evading yet, it is still one heck of a good ship though. I would call this round a tie even if the Archangel did evade the Isolde that one time. There mobility has shown to be quite similar even though the Minerva has been damage, the Minerva has been in more Full scale battles than the Archangel was back in SEED.

The reason Minerva always had Rey and Luna guard it is because they have been in full scale battles the entire time. When the Archangel were in full scale battles they needed protection from Mwu, Mwu in Strike does the same amount of job Rey and Luna does. Also the storage capacity has nothing to do with ship vs. ship battle.

I would say that the Archangel got a slight advantage over the Minerva since the Archangel got those beam deflectors which probably would be very useful. Archangel also doesn't have an Isolde type cannon, i really hate that useless weapon it has done nothing good in the show it's just slow. Archangel also got 2 positron cannons which means they can fire 2 positron shots in a short ammount of time as opposed to Minerva's 1 shot.
