Hi All,
I've been wondering about tackle. If you are AB fit with a standard web and scram, then how is it possible to catch your opponent to even tackle him? Most people are using MWD's these days, so I maybe need some advice on how to get in range with a AB fit?
I am a minmatar pilot, so I generally want to be very close so that I can shoot my autocannons within range, that is why I am interested in this advice.
Thanks, Steve |

Look up 'slingshotting'. I honestly haven't had a ton of experience with it. Also, all the cool people use webbing drones. |

If your tackling for a gang you will want an MWD, if solo an AB provides superior range control in a brawl but at the cost of being unable to split gangs, catch competent MWD kiters and disengage from some fights ( though an AB can help disengaging sometimes too). |

I'd say try both. Depends on your ship and on what you're trying to tackle. If possible you can use dual prop. I have used a buffer shield dual prop firetail in the past and it was very survivable. Quick enough to catch mwd kiters or slingshot away from point range and good enough to work a decent brawl too. |

This. AB/web/scram fits rule if you are inside a plex first waiting for someone to warp in. Otherwise pick your fights. As they said - if you are tackling for a fleet, it is generally preferable to fit a MWD. I'm probably typing on an iPad, which means the auto-correct is silly and fixing typos is a pain. I ain't fixing them. |

Can you tell me what is a plex? I thought this was like a game time card. |

if you're trying to catch a big thing on a gate (say in a frig that doesn't have MWD sig reduction) you can do so with AB/web/disruptor
An overloaded disruptor and your ship's natural high scan res will allow you to get the initial tackle. The web and AB are still useful once you're actually in a fight, allowing you to speed tank and be fairly effective at tackling with point + web. But an AB + scram + web does nothing for a gang that's trying to catch stuff.
AB/web/disruptor is suitable for new pilots when doing gang work, just remember that its an alternative, not a replacement, for a proper mwd-fitted interceptor. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

PLEX can refer either to the unit of game time (Pilot License EXtension), or a complex. In this context, they're referring to Faction Warfare complexes.
ABs are an extremely niche module. They're often used on brawling frigates that expect to be brawling other frigates in a 1v1 scenario, but in most other situations a MWD is the more common option. |
