I currently fly a maelstrom with all high slots using 1200mm's and a computer tracking enhancer in the mids.
I recently bought a second account to run as a salvager for when im running missions, and realized i could fit a target painter on my alt to aid my maelstrom. Since i am not sure on the numbers, could i swap out the 1200mm's for 1400's, buy a very expensive 19%+ tracking enhancer and benefit with the alt using the painter?
My main concern is hitting the cruisers. If the tracking will be the same as the 1200 but just in a shorter gap with the optimal then i can live with that. If they wont hit at all, then i wont bother.
Im asking here instead of trying it out, since the 19%+ tracking computer is silly expensive, and hopefully someone with experience will be able to let me know.

Get a cheaper one & see if it makes any difference to you? 1400s annoy me with their tiny clip, but I like ACs massively better than both anyway.

Better to use the alt with tracking links than a painter (If you must have him in a non-pewpew role, a 2nd BS is vastly superior to any support role).
Yes, they're only +30% and the painter +37.5% if your alt has signal focusing 5(!), but are way too cumbersome to manage locks on a second account and wont cycle fast enough to matter on the small stuff were you need it anyway (frigs/dessies/cruisers). Tracking links are "set and forget".
Anyway, range is what you need to kill cruisers with arties. Keep them heading straight at you and you'll one-volley any non-elite npc cruiser with 1400s, let them orbit and you wont hit them, tracking enhancer or not.

I never really considered training the alt more then just the skills needed for a hurricane and the salvage mods. The account has my trader, miner and salvager and the hulk was the next big priority but since you mentioned the 2nd BS, it sounds like a brilliant idea
Since I cant focus on one character for so long, im thinking of a dominix with ogre t2's and drone interface level 5 with 3 salvage and tractor beams in high
Thanks for the helpful reply.

Typhoon might make a better hybrid boat, potential cargo is enormous + fairly large dronebay + either eight highs for tractor and salvage, or four cruise spots + other 3/4 for salvage + drone link. It's what my utility alt uses anyway.
