Alright so here's the deal: I've recently gotten my hands on a Tornado dirty cheap (I would make money should it explode). I'm currently working on my Large Projectile Turrets skill. The plan is to probably get into a Vargur/Mach, with a standard Minmatar Battleship to bridge the gap. At one point my Large Turret Skill will probably best my Medium Turret, so I figured I might take the Tornado for a spin for Lv3 missions (can't do Lv4's yet, need to grind a whole new Corp as my current one doesn't have Lv4 agents...apparently).
Anybody got a plausible fit? As long as you use your speed to make the little ships come at you at a straight line you ought to be able to pop them... no? Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

Got a Hurricane, but it is not as hot as my Tornado.
Plus, as mentioned my Large Turret skill will soon beat my Medium Turret skill. Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

Real useful post there, mate. Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

What if you use the Dual Auto-cannons? For Large Turrets, they have respectable tracking. And you most likely would only need one or two hits to decimate a Frigate? Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

Really? Good thing my Small Turret skill is the best of the bunch then, as I assume I need them for Medium Specialization? Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

You expect us to do your work for you? Get out e: If you'd at least suggested a fit in your OP, that would've gone down a lot better; as it stands, it just looks like you wanted to be spoonfed.
What are you even doing in the Ship & Modules sub-forum, dickwad? Requesting fits is commonplace here.  Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

The support Gunnery skills are pretty good actually. Since they apply to all Turrets, I decided to train them first. It is the main Medium and Large Turret skills that are somewhat lackluster. Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

Seriously. One rat frigate webbing and/or scramming you will ruin your day, and even with the smallest autocannons and lots of tracking boosts, it's too easy for the rats to get under your guns if you get a close-range spawn. Never forget that you're basically flying a high-speed beer can. Okay, it's a beer can with a Maelstrom's broadside, so you can one-shot a rat battlecruiser if you've got the proper firing geometry and the right weapons, but god help you when those smaller ships get to close range.
I never ever do missions without looking 'em up on EVE-survival these days. They usually mention web/scrambles so you can take 'em out right quick. Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

Since my intentions are to move on up to a Battleship, I'd say it is more useful. Of course, I mean that in this scenario only, not in general. Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

Err. Wouldn't dream of it. Unless you have bonuses to Drones, I wouldn't fit any ship with Turrets it doesn't get bonuses for... ...unless you desperately wanted the ship to work in a situation it is not really suited for. see it like this: you sacrifice ~15% of the tornado's overabundant dps for the safety of being able to warp out at any given time.
You also lose a lot of range from losing the Optimal bonus+using smaller guns. Also, why wouldn't Large Turrets work if you use the ones with the best tracking? From my experience you can just use "Keep at Range" on a blob of NPC ships and they will follow you in a nice orderly line, allowing you to hit them easily. The Tornado has enough speed for that to happen...? Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

No tank? People claim to be able to fly Lv3s in Cruisers effectively. The Tornado is essentially a Cruiser hull with Battleship weapons, innit? Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

Plus, as mentioned my Large Turret skill will soon beat my Medium Turret skill. You have so much to learn. Bigger does NOT equal better, and in fact by doing level 3's the only thing large turrets will do is slow you down to a grinding halt. L3's = close spawns Small ships fast ships Enough damage to break a small tank Guess what large guns fail with? Guess what ship has a small tank? Large guns will be able to deal with smaller ships, especially projectiles, but not at close range. My maelstrom is over 1000 DPS, yet I wouldn't take it to a level 3 (sure, would tank it more than fine) I'd take, yup, you guessed it, a hurricane.
*sigh*
At least read my opening post before responding. I'm not inclined to use Large Turrets because they are "better" but because I am training for a Battleship. So instead of just rolling my thumbs I thought I might as do some Lv3 missions until I can comfortably fly a Battleship and do Lv4s. A Tornado would take advantage of all the skills I plan to train, mainly Gunnery and Engineering (Shield-based skills).
