Let's see, faster accelleration, longer range, hardpoints for heavier weapons/armour, home ground advantage, culture shock and 1 Lady Killer A VF also has a smaller target profile compared to a QR. As long as a VF can hit first and stay out of effective range it'll probably come ahead. I suspect that Michel camped and sniped at them during his own evaluation test with Luca as his spotter

Thing is, a plain vanilla VF of any class with an average pilot isn't a match for a QR. Simply put, a QR has more missiles, guns [the Neo-QR now has 4 plus a heavier shoulder cannon], comparable speed and a tighter rate of turn/roll to a VF. It's essentially a flying ball with legs and armed to the teeth >_<. Then and now, it's a combat design proven over several thousand years and absolutely nasty in close combat [which it excels in].
