Cunjo, in a one on one fight, the SCP vs Valk fight (with the agt + flare layout on the SCP) leans quite heavily on towards the SCP. Valks are perfectly possible to fight in SVGs and lots of other layouts with a decent amount of skill. the SCP however, is *easier* and forgiving.

try flying a Valk against an SCP some day, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
