Pretty much what this topic is named, I have a apoc, can field a navy apoc, but I always liked the idea of the t3's....
So, how effective is a legion for lvl 4's? Whats a good fit? Is it worth it? Or should I just buy a battleship... maybe a Nightmare. |

The Paladin or Nightmare is better. The Legion just doesn't have the range to be very effective in Level 4s. You'll waste a lot of time moving towards rats.
The Legion is/was awesome in Incursions. |

Hmmm well I'm about 30 days out from a effective pala / nightmare....
So the Legion isn't the Tengu of armor? :( |

Far from it.
Medium turret weapons, even on bonused ships, just don't quite have the range to make really good Level 4 mission boats.
The only reason the Tengu is good is because HML's have a wonderful range and can reliably apply their DPS at any range.

I believe I have seen a fit for a HAM Legion...no lazers. This fit should be comparable to the Tengu but in armor rather than shield.

This fit is listed for PVP, but I bet you could tweak it for PVE to be even better.

Your range on that HAM Legion is terrible for missions. Even on a fit designed specifically for HAMs, the range is still terrible:

Does 634 DPS at 34.6km - with 5% missile ROF and velocity implants and nearly maxed skills (HAM Spec IV, Warhead Upgrades IV). That's hardly worthy for Level 4 missions. |

Even though Tengu is getting nerfed it will still have its current range. |

The reason the tengu is effective isn't HMLs, it's because it gets an effective 100% bonus to dps, while the other T3s get a 50% bonus to dps.
And does anyone have a source for the supposed tengu nerf or is it just one of those things people mindlessly regurgitate? |

Legion has optimal range of 33 km with lasers. Tengu can spam HMLs @ 100+ km. Yeah, clearly not a advantage.

So it's the fact that T3s shouldn't be better than T2. Legion is good example of how T3s should be. It's good at everything it does, but it's not better than specialized T2s. |

And if the legion had the same 37.5% bonus to RoF and 25% bonus to damage as the tengu, they'd out-dps HML tengus by about 45%. A pulse legion with scorch would have almost the exact same range and dps as a HAM tengu.
Hurr durr way to totally miss my point. Lemme reiterate: if the tengu got the same pathetic 50% damage bonus the other T3s got, it would be awful. A six-launcher tengu would barely do more dps than a drake.
Also thx m8 for linking me to the beginning of a 50-minute long video |

33 km optimal IS with Scorch. Pulse Legion dps is a bit over 700 with IN Multifrequency (11,2k+4,6k). HAM Tengu does 900-1100 dps. |

i'm at work right now so i can't watch the vid; is there any concrete detail on what the nerf will look like? |

Legion with two tracking mods gets 40K range easily. That said it is not very good as a general purpose mission ship, because Scorch DPS is only 550 or so. Grinding a lot of battleships takes too long IMO and short range ammo means way too much flying around as people have already mentioned. Ammo cost is an issue too.
However it is excellent for blitzing certain annoying missions, so having one in your mission hub may still be worth it. |

This was my experience as well. I kept an Absolution on hand for blitzing missions that were faster in a small ship. Shorter range than the Legion, but did a fine job for those missions.

I emphasised the important part. Did you miss the whole bit earlier about bonuses or are you just illiterate? |

Almost same DPS?
~550 vs 900-1100. Yeah, it's very close.
If only T2 and faction mods it's: ~550 vs 950. |

Can you show us a HAM Tengu fit with 900 dps without officer mods? |

A pulse Legion with 4 hs does 550 dps with scorch, @50km optimal. With multi, it's 700 dps. It has the tracking to hit everything perfectly.
A NM with 4 hs does 1.1k dps, almost 1.3k if counting drones. Long Tach range. Tracking bonus lets low tracking tachs hit well down to cruisers.
A Tengu with 4 bcs does 750 kinetic dps, 500 nonkinetic (due to lack of 25% kinetic missile bonus). It hits cruisers for full dmg, can hit frigs decently if rigored.
A CNR with 4 bcs does 550 cruise missile dps. Drones add another 150 dps, with max drone skills. Cruise missiles don't even hit cruisers for full dmg even when rigored.
tl;dr: It's not that Legion is bad, just that competition in the laserboats category is too good. |

Holy christ you are dense. My whole first post was a thought experiment wherein the legion gets the same bonuses to RoF and damage as the tengu in an (obviously futile) attempt to point out that the strength of the tengu is not that it uses HMLs but rather that it gets am effective 100% bonus to dps.
Please re-read my first post until it sinks in. |

Yeah, and 100km range doesn't help at all. |

TL,DR A Legion can do lvl4's. A Paladin or NM is way better. Hence the Legion is not effective. |

Legion does 0 dps at 100 km. Tengu does 700+ dps at 100 km.
Now go and shoot some missiles. This expansion is what you trained your missile skills for after all. |
