I jump into a mission, there are a few BS's and loads of Sentry Guns/MIssile Batteries. OK I'm screaming away with my MWD, but there are a couple of sentry guns within 30km of me, my artys have an optimal range of 37km, and the Sentry Guns have no transverse velocity. So as I read the formulae for hits, I should hit every time, but I contuinue to absolute miss.
Could someone explain where I am misreading the formulae?
Thanks Tony |

Stop moving. That might help.

Transversal velocity takes into account your own movement as well, just because something is sitting still doesn't mean you can track it no matter how fast you are moving.
Imagine you're on a merry-go-round and you have a hoop you have to throw a ball through in the middle of it, the faster you're spinning the harder it is to get it through right? |

Sig size can be a factor here too. Mission Sentries tend to have a wide range of sig sizes, some very large and bloated, others designed to imitate a frig or dessy.

650mm Arty's have better Tracking and faster fire / reload rate than 720mm Arty's. They also use less powergrid and cpu for fitting.
Other than training up skills, fitting up modules like Tracking Enhancers and Tracking Computer with active Tracking script will greatly increase chance to hit.
Also shut down MWD and just pulse it to keep range from the pack when needed.

I agree transverse velocity is a factor of targets velocity and mine, but I have tv shown in the overview so maybe a better question is why does the overview always show zero transverse for stationary objects even when it's not cos of my velocity Thanks |

Please clarify, every projectile weapon system in the game currently has a standard 10 second reload period.
@OP I believe that's just a coding failure, stationary objects obviously have no internal velocity of their own so calculating something against 0 might just not be within the formula they use for that overview column |

Maybe by "reload rate" he meant the fact that due to capacity versus rate of fire, 650mm will go on longer without a reload than 720mm. Just my guess anyways.

OK, my mistake about faster reload rate. But 650 Arty's do have a faster fire rate and better tracking than 720 Arty's.

All turrets dmg are related to 2 things DAMAGE and % Chance to Hit.
here some info about turret mechanics:
DMG: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Turret_Damage
% CHANCES TO HIT: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Gunnery_201
Trasversale velocity: http://www.hostile.dk/files/eve/eve-tracking101.swf (super guide MUST See!!!)
General info: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Gunnery_101 http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Gunnery_Guide
So, turret rely on few factors:
Range: optimal and falloff between you and your target Signature: difference between gun resolution and target signature radius Tracking: relation between tracking speed of your guns and transversale velocity of your target
In your specific case: if you were within your optimal range of your turrets and you were attacking a "building" you had no problem with your range and your signature component.
Wich leads us to a tracking problem. According to your overview, your target transversal speed was 0 wich indicate that your target was static. However, as you it is teached in the web sources above, the transversal velocities are tie to yours and your opponnet's one.
Your overview will always display a tranversal and angular velocity of 0 when you are attacking a building anchored in space, a NPC one or a player's one.
However, note that if you were MWD away from that building, your personnal transversal velocity, was probably higher than your gun's trackning speed.
Roughly:
Tranversale Velocity = Perpendicular global velocity / distance between you and your target
So, if you were speeding away at 1200m/s with MWD on and you were at 30km perpendicular from your traget, odds are that your own personnal transversal velocity was skyrocketing, hence zero-ing your chances to hit.

Because I can and because it is somewhat relevant. Missiles in missions have many trouble areas, however missing a target completely is not one of them. |

However back before CCP did the ship re-balance, I was running level 3 missions with 6 Arty's and 2 Hvy Missile Launchers on my Hurricane. To help reduce the incoming DPS I used Defender Missiles. I'd activate one launcher and when it was half way through it's cycle, activate the other launcher. That way I was able to knock out most of the incoming NPC missiles. Course that was also before CCP split Defender Missiles up into lite and heavy classes.
Anyway, Defender Missiles seemed to work great for me, especially since I had them trained up to level 5. I think their use against NPC missiles is still viable.

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Velocities
Use angular, Transversal is deceiving as "2500" of something thats zipping 2 km past you is not the same as "2500" of a target 200 km away that a blind naga pilot can track Bittervets tend to use "transversal" when they really mean "angular" (trap for new players!- Dave).
Angular closest to 0 and range closest to optimal for maximum bang. Can be closer but than each movement screws up tracking more and more, so best to be in the sweetspot (or further away to reduce angular, arties have huge falloff so not a big dmg loss)
Idk why structures show 0 even when player's ship is moving. Probably classified as stationary parts of the map and server does not calculate velocities for them.
Sansha's Station Ultima has defender missiles that can nullify missile dmg. |

You run into the same problem with railguns sometimes too, I had an issue where my thorax was going way to fast and couldnt hit a POS Gun one time years ago, you could manually adjust the speed your going by clicking on the dial under your Capacitor HUD and set it to say 50% which would allow you to track the gun, fire, kill and then hit the + again to take off before anything gets back in range.

3-4 dmg mods for a pve ship, the 5'th will give little bonus due to stacking penalties, so it's better to go for a bit extra tank/ application/ prop module instead of the extra 28 dps (or whatever the number might be) |
