Summary
The Atron is the Gallente Attack Frigate. The Atron's extraordinary speed, agility, and bonus to propulsion jamming modules (warp disruptors, warp scramblers and stasis webifiers) make it an excellent tackle frigate. The Atron also has bonuses to hybrid turrets, but using them often requires more capacitor than the Atron has to spare. As a result, the job of an Atron pilot is usually to pin down an enemy and stay alive long enough for fleetmates to arrive and deliver the punch.
The Atron is a great hull for new pilots interested in learning basic tackling skills, and how to serve as a fleet scout (or "+1"). Flying the Atron provides good practice for eventually flying fleet interceptors (such as the Ares), which are more commonly used as fleet scouts amd first tacklers. Nevertheless, even though the Tech I Atron isn't quite as effective as a Tech II Interceptor, it can still serve as an amazing long-point tackle ship. E-UNI Atron pilots are strongly advised to read the UniWiki guide to tackling, and to attend a Tackling 101 practical.

The Atron is not as strong at dealing or taking damage as the two Gallente Combat Frigates, the Incursus and the Tristan. Novice Gallente pilots looking for a PvE frigate for Level 1 missions, or for serving the second tackle role in fleets, would be better served by flying one of these other ships instead of the Atron.

Tactics
Fleet Atron pilots should read the UniWiki articles on Scouting and Tackling; these provide details on how to serve as the fleet vanguard, and how to approach and point a target once it is on grid. Because the Atron is poorly tanked, the Atron pilot needs to avoid getting hit on approach. If the target is a turret ship, one way to avoid damage is to "spiral" towards the target, in order to maximize transversal (and thus evade the tracking of the target's guns). The spiraling method does not help against opponents flying missile or drone ships, though, and Atron pilots should just fly straight at these targets.
Opponents may also try to "slingshot" an Atron tackler to escape. Atron pilots can learn about these maneuvers, and how to counter them, by attending Tackling 101.
