You're also short a Tracking Computer with an Optimal Script too. So your DD proof fit now has what, 60% of the range of a similar Maelstrom? Doesn't that totally defeat the point of sniping to begin with?
I have the same range as his fit but with better tracking, his range is further because of the locus rigs. He would not survive a doomsday, however, from Avatars (the most prolific titan) or an Erebus. In my first fit it was a pure sniper role, but I changed it up in the second to survive a doomsday. That doesn't leave room for locus rigs, though, because the Tempest doesn't sport the powergrid of the Maelstrom. I like the Maelstrom for a pure sniper role, but I think you give up too much in the way of speed, agility and remote rep for the extra damage, not to mention the shield boost bonus wasted. As for range, I have not been in any fights where the other fleet was further than 150km, and most of the time they were around 120-130 away. I couldn't imagine actually seeing someone shooting from 200km at another fleet as 3/4 of the turret sniper ships can't reach that far.
The Tempest is also cheaper. If you were to change that shield boost bonus to a resist or shield HP bonus then I would use the Maelstrom, but right now the cost vs effectiveness isn't doing it for me.

I have been in many 0.0 fights and average sniper fighting range is 180km, and I hardly ever saw a shorter range then 170.
Never at 150 or less because usually you engage at a pos and you want to be out of range of the 150km Scrambler.
So measure the DPS at 180km that's the most fair point and yes some alliances/corps like to snipe at 200km+ range where you really need the maelstrom because the tempest cant lock that far even with gangbonus or you need 3 sebo's
Also if the FC notice you dont have 3 optimal range mods as minmatar you cant even come on sniper ops already most FC dont like minmatar BS on sniper fleets, although my mael fit is very nice :).

didn't have the time nor the energy to write a concise suggestion in time to get it posted. What is most important though is not the suggestion as such but showing CCP that they have to take a look at it by giving the numbers of where balance falls apart. It worked for ECM, nos and lasers. All to the detriment of the tempest el oh el.
a small bonus, would be a shame to let the work go to waste after all.
no resists, RR-ish fits dps chart
armor resists, same stuff as previous one
final one, shield resists, ditto
fits that are compared are what could be considered cookie cutter for a RR fleet, Tempest lacks in the EHP department badly, as it only has one plate, but to be even competing it really does need 2 damage mods. Raven also only has 1 plate but the extra mid makes a good difference, as well as the complete freedom of damage choice.
I noticed after I made the graphs that I forgot to switch from EM to explosive torps for the phoon and raven on the armor tank. dps from them is a good deal higher then shown, they should only be slightly lower then megathron on the graph.

Why does the raven and phoon have the torp range? Shouldn't the raven be at 30km and the phoon at 20?

Raven range fixed
Megathron given neutron blasters instead of ion blasters, I'm not as familiar with blaster ships as I am with minmatar and amarr ships(and some caldari ships).
Why graphs are so unclear is mostly cause they're a work in progress, originally they were only made to compare turrets directly and to give me a better understanding of tracking mechanics, well they're far more then that now  . Maybe someday it'll look better.
Naughty Boy's Damage Spreadsheet is nicer and looks better but was excruciating slow for me running it in OpenOffice Calc while it's made with Excel. No idea how up to date it is however.

You're missing the MWD. I would come back and fix your fits for something other than EFT Warrior-ing.
EFT is the only place anyone would ever willingly fit a Typhoon for sniping, but since you asked, drop a tracking comp for 100 MN Digital Booster Rockets, and drop a BCU for an additional tracking enhancer.

RR be shield or armor type is irrelevant on ships that do not have a meaningful buffer. Just fitting them on that tempest with no plates and no resist helps almost nothing.
Now .. imagine that same ship you could drop the RCU... put an EANM and you coudl lock at good sniping range with only 2 SB.. so you could also add 1 invul II.
And .. tchan than.. you have an ALMOST usable sniper. That with cheap rigs CAN tank a DD and still be quite fast moving out of bubbles.
Now to make it worth using.. neutralize the range issue (less flavor on fleets) with the falloff on range modules. OR increase its alpha and dps by changign the damage bonus into a 7.5% damage bonus.. or just massively increase alpha by changing the ROF bonus into a 7.5% damage bonus.
These are all EASY changes.. They do not fix ship so much as astrophoibic ones but are much more hard to find any possible flukes of unbalance .. so no reason CCP could give to not do at LEAST these.

What you call a RR fittigns? Putting 2 remote lar is NOT RR fit. a RR fit needs DC 2 resistance modules and 2 plates.. MINIMUM! That means tempest graphs shoudl be made with 1 damage mod not 2! TEmpest lack of low slots to put enough tank and fit damage mods is one of its main issues, and a graph that compares a tempest with same number of damage mods as a megatron or armageddon is not showing the whole truth.

Worst part they are changing fleet ships now so they will use this as an excuse to not change the tempest later since would require a RE change on the fleet tempest. Tricky evil CCP!

Is the first that comes to mind. Also the typhoon isn't the only battleship to use missiles, you will be changing up the Raven, Scorpion and their counterparts, which messes with the ability of the Raven to use a RR fitting.

The new Fleet Pest looks like they took they took some of the suggestions from this thread to fix the normal Tempest. I'd like to say I'll miss the midslot, but I'd be flying the new Fleet Phoon instead, anyway.
It'll technically be the new Minnie damage king, I suppose.
So...step in the right direction CCP! Now let's fix the T1 version.

That if they gave it more PG. Because the old tempest could fit full rack 1400mm T2 the new one cannot. PG increase should be proportional. SO it needs 700 PG MORE than the proposed one.

Well, when i have been away from the forum for 90 days, i will be more chilled on the forum lol.
But now i'm back and will post like mad again i hope :D. Last time i checked my stats on the EVE-Search page, i was at the 154th place in having posted most, even after being away for 90 days on the forum.
Here is the stats on me so far: LINK. I'm at the 157th place now.
Anyways, back on topic. Even when i see the reason that Autocannons needs a boost, it doesn't mean the Autocannons are crap today. Yes they aren't as good as the other weapon types, but they are still doing ok as they are.
Artilleries on the other hand is not good as they are now. They need a boost in some ways. And atm i don't have an idea on how to fix them though.

Actually could you just scrap the phoon changes entirely - the main issue was the HP swap, the fittings was an afterthought.
I think I'll leave the pest changes as they are currently - after all people voted on them, not something else - but I'd like to continue discussion on ways of fixing. I think the agility and speed bonus is a great starting point, along with the AC/ammo boost it's almost there. I can see 7.5% ROF/5% falloff, or 10% falloff working.

Optimal or tracking. Currently they track rather horribly while being a comparatively short range gun.
Alternatively, TEs / optimal scripted TCs giving a falloff bonus in addition to optimal.
