Right, you dont needthe Osprey.
What I would do with an Oddy is as follows:
1: look for a lone K/J, if there is one, skip to step 3
2: If there are only groups of them: Swap into an M3, fly towards a group of Ks/Js, shoot one, and zoom back to your Oddy.
3: now, as the lone K/J approaches, switch all turrets to "attack enemies" snd go into 3rd person view.
4: charge at it, not had on though, aim above and to the left or right of it, unleashing 3 tturrets atonce.
5: if it is still alive after the first pass, turn your ship around quickly and observe the K/J's manuverses, the battle is now all about maximiseing the turrets on your ship that can fire and minimiseing the ones one the oponent who can hit you. so, try to stay at right angels to the enemie, as if, right infront or behind it, directly left/right/down or up. And make sure the enemy doesnt have right angels to you. this way, your ship can allways fire atleast 2 turrets and it can only fire one.
6: rinse and repeat, untill you get the hang of it, then try multiple targets.
Golden Rule:
Stay at right angeles to your oponent, so they can only fire one turret, and make sure your ship in in an angle that it can fire atleast 2 back.
If in doubt, dont engauge, if you get too many hostiles at one, run for it.
The Oddy is a good ship, Id fly one but i cant stand how it looks, so I went with the Titan.
The general tactics for all of the M2s are about the same, however, the Python, due to it's lack of forward guns, (should never be bought except to look at! ) should engauge from the side.
Im going to add this to the end of my Capital ship guide now!
Got it kitted out with good gear, full shields, took it into 
347 with my Osprey ( allso fully kitted ) and got my ass trampled medi-evil style!
M2 sectors 
!!!!!!!!!!
I'd still rather script than use straife.
