I have had a couple fights against a corp that does extensive RR BS, and I'm impressed. I've looked at their KB and the few BS they've lost were fit with:
- MWD (I assume to stay close and get to target)
- Cap Injector (keep repping)
- Armor buffer tanked
- ECCM fitted when possible.
- 2x Large remote armor reps - even on ship with only 1 spare utility slot (ie Megathron), a gun was sacrificed to maintain 2x large remote reps (6x Neutron Cannons 2x Large RR).
I'm trying to come up with a viable counter. Part of my problem is a lot of my BS pilots are shield tankers (I myself started out as a shield tanker and have crossed trained armor/Gallente ships) so setting up a RR gang of my own is difficult.
- Can I setup a RR shield rep gang with Ravens? I would love to see any fit available. If shield RR sucks vs armor RR, explain why.
- I believe I should have changed targets when their RR was beating our combined DPS. I assume when RR - you manually lock up your own team's primary and try to rep - so switching targets would buy us 5-6 seconds of damage before they switched to the new primary. Problem is our local tanks were utter crap under focused fire and I can't switch fast enough before I've lost guys.
- Both sides have ECM, no Falcon advantage.
- I'm considering the use of tracking disruptors to lower their damage. Is it worthwhile to experiment with TD when its a BS vs. BS fight?
- I think a RR Domi would be useful - and less obvious than a logistics cruiser. I think a sniper BS in our gang to fire on hostile falcons would be useful in freeing up our ecm to try to break up their RR (which is tough with their eccm).
- What would you bring vs a 7-10 man RR gang?
What are some popular RR BS? I've tried an armor tanking raven and the ship lacks the grid to fit a 1600mm plate, siege II torps, and a pair of large RR. I don't know if I'll be able to get much a RR gang myself considering my guys fly so many mix tanked ships in fleet.
How do you fight competent RR BS pilots? Its a bit of a new area for me, since most of my BS fights have been against localized tanks, and my own gang flies mixed tanks.
The underlined portions are bad.
You do not remove turrets/missiles to fit more remote reps. You change ships if you need to. Remote shield boosters take far too much cpu to be fit as easily as remote armor repairers (which is why no one really uses them in rr bs gangs).
If you do a raven for rr bs, your best option is to use cruise and some kind of ewar in your mids. Tracking disruptors aren't a bad choice but of course they won't work against drones or missiles.
The easiest things to do versus rr bs are (sort of in order of ease):
a) split them up
b) bring your own rr bs
c) jam them
d) alpha them (volley, and destroy them before their friends can lock and repair)
e) energy neutralizers
The blob mentality is okay I guess if you have the people for it.
