== Summary ==

~~Before~~ the ~~Citadel expansion~~ the Naglfar was ~~a bit of a mixed bag. Nowadays it's~~ one of the best ~~overall dreadnoughts: you cannot go wrong~~ with ~~picking a~~ Naglfar, and ~~most capital pilots are expected~~ to ~~fly one~~ in ~~some capacity~~. ~~Capless guns~~, ~~generous mid slots~~, ~~generous low slots~~ and ~~other minor properties make it popular for fleet use~~, ~~for~~ "~~Solo Dreadnought~~" ~~operations and for PvE in high class wormholes. It~~ also ~~makes~~ a ~~good~~ "Blap Dread", a dreadnought specifically designed to shoot at subcapital targets with full sized capital guns. It has also found use in special case situations involving the rarely used long range platform: in this case, Quad 3500mm Artillery for sniping on Citadel grids. It is also the best "Drift Dread" for its speed and slot arrangement which makes it good for doing such.

Prior to the addition of Navy dreads in the Uprising Expansion the Naglfar was considered one of the best dreads due to its flexible slot layout and capless guns. However, with the addition of the Navy dreads the Naglfar has quickly fallen out of popularity in favor of the Zirnitra, Navy Phoenix, and Navy Revelation. This is primarily due to the Naglfar's extremely poor buffer tank and comparatively low damage output. Contemporary Dread doctrines tend to focus on maximizing damage and tank at the expense of flexibility, resulting in the resurgence of Caldari and Amarr dreads at the expense of Gallente and Minmatar dreads. Nowadays, Naglfars mainly see use for ratting, running CRAB Beacons, and solo PVP. In solo PVP especially, the Naglfar shines due to its strong active tank and ability to function as a "Drift Dread." The Naglfar also sees use as a "Blap Dread", a dreadnought specifically designed to shoot at subcapital targets with full-sized capital guns.

-Before the Citadel expansion the Naglfar was a bit of a mixed bag. Nowadays it's one of the best overall dreadnoughts: you cannot go wrong with picking a Naglfar, and most capital pilots are expected to fly one in some capacity. Capless guns, generous mid slots, generous low slots and other minor properties make it popular for fleet use, for "Solo Dreadnought" operations and for PvE in high class wormholes. It also makes a good "Blap Dread", a dreadnought specifically designed to shoot at subcapital targets with full sized capital guns.
