OK, there is a route I tend to take which lately is camped by 2-3 sabres. I can get a cloaky through most of the time, but they catch me out every now and again. I tried taking a drake through, but they have ECM and just jammed the s**t out of me. I don't have an awful lot of PvP experience, so I'm trying to think of something I can do on my own to take a couple of them out. I'm thinking maybe a throwaway destroyer loaded with smartbombs, but I'm not sure if I can get close enough to them or do enough damage.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Edited by: Dan Pyre on 19/01/2011 21:38:45 Well if you know they're flying with ECM modules, I'd recommend flying an Assault Missile Launcher Caracal with an ECCM module. You should be able to take one or two of them down, and trading a >20mil ISK cruiser for one or two <40mil ISK Destroyers is a good tradeoff.
Caracal - Frigate/Destroyer Killer (modified to deal with ECM ***gotry)
Lows: 1x Ballistic Control Unit II 1x Damage Control II
Mids: 1x 10MN Microwarpdrive I (or named) 1x Large Shield Extender 1x ECCM - Gravimetric II (swap for Large Shield Extender II if they don't pack ECM) 1x Stasis Webifier II 1x Warp Disruptor II
Highs: 5x Assault Missile Launcher II (load with Caldari Navy Bloodclaw for kinetic damage)
Rigs: 1x Anti - EM Screen Reinforcer 2x Core Defense Field Extenders
Drones: 2x Hornet II's
Focus on the Kinetic hole, overheat from the beginning, and you should blast them.

Caracal might be able to take out a frig but a tech 2 dessy might be able to tank him long enough for the pair of sabres to kill him, 2 sabres with 7 autocannons each, won't take long...

It's also banking on the fact that the Sabres are shield tanked and micro-warp driving (increased sig, missiles hit for full damage) and the fact that if he pilots well (burns out initially so that they can't damage him as much) he'll be able to beat one of them. If the fight started at 0, yes, I'm sure 3 Sabres would be able to melt a Caracal in fairly short order.
You could also try a combat Blackbird? Some tackle, 3 minmatar jammers, and AML's, but if a jam fails you're absolutely screwed.

That caracal will get wasted against 2 sabres, 3...? hahaha. Well fit sabres will be doing 300+ DPS at least.
Fit up a drake, with LSE, invuln, ECCM, web, scram and 6th mod of your choice. (either second web or invuln)
Heavy launchers should do the trick.

The Sabres are using ECM after all, waste of a midslot. I'd like to see their fittings. Personally I've only ever gone up against a Sabre that I can remember once (cough you cough) and I was in my Stabber and I got wasted, so maybe I should know better ;)

yeah, and I still died iirc
He may have a shot with 2 sabres if he is on the ball, otherwise with that fit it would take 3 sabres ~20 seconds to kill him assuming they are well piloted/load EM etc.

And that was only because I had friends...
So OP I think your answer is get some friends to go with you - use either of the above fittings.

where is it? what time do they camp?
I love killing Sabres. Not promising anything, but I may visit
If you can fly any t3, you could set one up to be very hard to jamm and anti-frigate, a bit expensive tho.
A battleship with 2x ECCM may have a chance, tho it'd be hard to prevent the bad guys from running away.
Drake with standard FoF missiles in assault launcher may chase them off, tho I never tried it myself
