I can't seem to find a Tengu fit that does more than 650 dps at any sort of range without involving links and very expensive implants. You aren't going to kill anything with that sort of damage. Also, all fits are passive. I'm very much so used to active defense, I hate the idea of simply starting a counter to your death.
What am I missing here?
The proteus clearly wins, with DPS well over 1k easily and an even better buffer. Speaking on terms of 1v1 at least.
I know the post is old (OMG, 1 week, why did you dig this???) but I posted on it and I'd like to comment.
Besides you saying that 650 dps doenst kill anything wich they do easily with kin missiles, it's not just the 100mn Tengus. Active tanking tengus are WAY overpowered too. No other T3 can fit an active tank and run it 24/7 with both MWD and guns online. Try this on the Proteus. You either get to sacrifice DPS or defense. With the Tengu you can fit all lows with BCUs and still have a decent tank at 1.2km/s. I'm not even mentioning that if you go that fast with a Proteus you can't hit anything that doesnt have a 2000m sig radius (oops, I just did), wich adds even more to the Tengu tank without sacrificing damage (because missiles don't miss, you know?). Yeah, the Proteus clearly wins, on cov ops and thats all. It's simply not worth for what it cost. If you live in a WH and can build one its a great ship but not if you have to pay for it. It's a crippled ship compared to other T3's. It shouldn't be like that. |

100MN Tengus use ABs. And a (PvP) Loki can perma-run a Gist large shield booster and MWD permanently, with the right choice of subs and rigs. |

No matter how buffed a Proteus is if ANY ship pins it ouside of blaster range (wich btw is not very big if I remember it right) it is dead. I dont have to mention how ******* strong the Tengu active tank is. Yeah, the Proteus is cool you gotta have balls to fly it (because its too easy to lose for a >500mi ship) and you can sneak upon your target. Im so excited about it wohoo. *queueing Caldari Cruiser skill
You have got approx. 60 km point and approx. 20 km scram...you do not have to fit it with blasters. |

The Loki does much less DPS and miss a lot of shots with a high transversal speed. I haven't checked on the 100MN Tengus yet but I dont think they should have cap problems either, I was talking about the active tanking Tengu fit wich is OP as well.

Yeah, maybe an AC Proteus... but still awful DPS compared to the Tengu's.
The problem I am pointing here is that Tengu shouldn't have such a high DPS. The Proteus dos have a great DPS but it also DOES have a drawback wich is optimal range. What is the drawback for that DPS wich is close to the Proteus on the Tengu? None. |

Meh, nvm.
I dont want to flame this more than it is already. Playing with EFT I realized they are very different ships so theres little room for the poor comparison I made... the balance is much more complex. I guess the Tengu is just an easier ship to fit and fly after all.
I won't poke on the 100MN AB discussion because I'm not much of a PvP'r myself. There may be indeed an inballance there but I can't make any comments on it.
Heading back to the Black Pyramid now. |
