They were always agile in SFB/FC. And they were always anti-drone armed and had a strong drone armament too. What they didn't have though was good shields.
Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad. But the front might have 8 hits or so more than the side unless it's a big ship.
I'm going to look into comparing the FC stats to the ACTA:SF stats and see what result comes out.
The big deal for the Romulans was that in FC/SFB the cloak was better - you can't shoot anything that is cloaked, and their plasma was better too - hits harder, more difficult to shoot down.
So they had bigger guns and better hiding, which made a huge difference.
