Hey guys I'm currently running level 2 missions in a caracal and I was wondering whether I should use heavy missile/heavy assault missiles, light missile launchers or a mix of both? Still fairly new and I am currently running heavy/heavy assault missiles and some missions take forever. Thanks in advance! |

The only missile boats I use also happen to be drone boats. (Worm, Gila and Rattlesnake). So my missles are my secondary weapons. I tend to have only two launchers fit and ewar in the rest.
I can tell you however, to pick one size or the other. Most of the time it's a real bad idea to mix weapon types.
Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |

For level 2's most of your targets will be cruisers and smaller, I would advise using light missiles for them. Heavy and heavy assault missiles are generally used for taking on ships larger than cruisers and will have a hard time hitting small fast targets for full damage, because they're quite literally faster than the explosion your missiles produce.
Missiles have 2 major stats that are used for damage calculations, explosion radius and explosion velocity. A ship with a smaller signature radius than the explosion radius of a missile will take less damage than one with a larger one, the same goes for explosion velocity, if your target is faster than the missiles explosion velocity, it can outrun some of the damage. the best comparison I've heard is shooting a howitzer at a motorcycle vs shooting it at a bus.

The rapid light missile caracal it's a nasty beast. If you also a buffer tank, mwd & point on that thing then you have a nasty anti-tackle support vessel for roams too |

As advised use Rapid Light Missile Launchers. For Caracal it's not effective to use Heavy Missile. Heavy Missile Launchers are good for Drake. In addition you can have a look at this page and in future for other different ship fits. http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Caracal |
