Oh dear, battleclinic epeen waving at its best 
Pilot #3085 and #31k something ( ), both ingame since 2005, smacking each other to no end who has more pvp knowledge and is thus entitled to decide what blasters should be like.
Let #467 give you a good advice, stop boasting with your stats and try to argue facts, battleclinic ranking shows exactly nothing.

Anyways, just to make a point here. So here is a question to you Lilith Velkor. Who is right about the Blasters between me and sophisticatedlimabean aka marakor here?.
Uhm, you didnt really get what I was talking about I think, its not which of you both is right or wrong (not that I could be arsed to read through that stupid flamefest anyway), my point was that debate between you two is utterly pointless and of no use to the thread.
I dont intend to get dragged into something like that either, and I'd suggest either you or him just let it go, its not leading anywhere.
Blasters much like autocannons have a hard time to compete in a gang situation against pulse lasers, and its a combination of poor focus in the platforms, issues with ammunition, and to a large part also the way bigger engagements prefer dps@range vs EHP so much (aka excellence of amarr BSs in this respect to a huge degree).
Against each other they compare pretty good actually (imo blasters a bit better still, but that might be a case of me being minmatar mainly and the grass being greener on the other side), but could use a boost to close the gap to pulses. Still, a good solution to even out things needs to take all three short-range turrets as well as the short-ranged missile variants in consideration, the simple "boost this, nerf that" approach will just flip a coin imo.

The problems caused because the tracking formula misses at 0km needs sorting although most ships i know of in any game or reality cannot hit a ship or are unwilling to fire on one that is docked/parked against its hull lol so its not as "unrealistic" as ppl claim.
The 0m problem has been fixed already.
Originally by: Apocrypha 1.5.1 patchnotes
It is now possible to shoot objects that are 0 meters away with turrets, and hit them (this is still subject to tracking.)
While its nice to have it sorted out, I dont see that much changed there tbh, tracking becomes a real issue at the 500m range already for all BS turrets at minimal transversal (and for none of them it makes sense to go that close), so its a rather cosmetic change anyway.
Saves you some trouble in PVE though I guess with those pesky structures :P

Ohhh, matter in fact that most Mega pilots use cheap faction mods on their Megas so they can be a little more effective for some few mill extra isk.
I have used megas for a long time in gang combat and ive neveer used them.
Link to proof of multiple blaster mega mails with amaar navy eanms fitted or stfu.
Well to be fair, I've seen quite a few people resort to faction and deadspace mods, but thats more because they need to work around the extremely tight fitting on a RR Mega, i.e. regain some lost effectiveness rather than improve in the first place.
The 6 cpu you can save on the AN EANM are kind of a big deal actually depending on the fit, and the little extra EHP isnt horrible either.

IIRC C-Type ANPs do roughly the same job as an EANM II and save thirty CPU over a AN EANM... ;-)
Yea, note I did mention deadspace mods ;)
Dont know the prices out of the top of my head, but arent the c-type ANPs around 2/3rd of the AN EANMs?
