That paradigm is outdated.
Given we are using the equivalent of 4 slots for damage / range mods, i.e. 4 lows or 3 lows and 2 rigs, the 2 gyro / 2 TE variant provides the better damage profile up to overheated web range for both longrange and shortrange ammo.

Any proof of that? I'm far too lazy to calculate it personally.
You're comparing 3 Gyro / 1 TE to 2 Gyro / 2 TE, right?
Last time I had a look at it I came up with the 3 Gyro setup (with 220s) coming up ahead up untill ~20k or so before being overtaken. ___________________

Edited by: Kenpotchi on 09/12/2009 20:23:01 We are talking about my personal set up is all. In the lows I used 2x Gyro II, 2x TE II, and a DCU II. Sure i can drop the DCU II for a third gyro but w/e.
For Gyro II x3. Yes it will put out more damage but the paradox is that with TEs is that they add on to falloff and increase tracking. With 2x TE falloff is at 27km with close range ammo and 41km with barrage. Also I can effectivly put 75% dammage on an opponent at 20-24km with close range ammo while keeping my speed up.
Thats about it.

That's not proof. Ignore tracking and do some maths. ;) ___________________

As I see it, using my mediocre EFT Warrioring skills, with 2 Gyro and 2 TEs it becomes viable to use EMP/Fusion on a 20km orbit with 220mm ACs. In addition, on a tighter orbit it improves the quality of hits and increases damage as you are fighting lower and lower into falloff. As I understand it, the further towards the outer limit of falloff you are the less damage you do, so if you fit more TEs and increase your max falloff it will increase your damage in the mid ranges.

Yes, I used 1 RoF / 1 dmg rig instead of 2nd / 3rd gyro, difference is minimal though. Also used 180s, but here are your numbers as requested:
For the sake of comparison, 220s 1) 3 gyro / 1 TE vs 2) 2 gyro / 2 TE:
@30km, barrage: 1) 200 dps 2) 231 dps @25km, barrage: 1) 251 dps 2) 266 dps @20km, barrage: 1) 302 dps 2) 299 dps
@20km, RF EMP: 1) 245 dps 2) 284 dps @15km, RF EMP: 1) 331 dps 2) 345 dps
As you can see there is only a very small band where the 3gyro / 1TE comes ahead with barrage, with shortrange faction its pretty much in a distance where you dont wanna be anyway.
Given that we also get the additional tracking, there is little reason for the 3/1 variant imo.
This is with 220s, with 180s the advantage is more pronounced for the 2/2 variant.
Edit: I'm using a 30km point on the vagabond, so my opinion might be biased towards ranged combat. And as the poster above me mentioned, it makes damage selection viable at longer ranges, which is a good thing.

Yes using EFT and my set up against a legion that I use while traveling at full speed I will hit for 400 DPS most of the time at 20km

So you're basically saying what I'm saying and that is that at sub 20k range you're still doing more damage with the 3 Gyro setup using Barrage?
As someone who hunts ratters a ton (where you get up in their face and personal) I think I'll stick to 3 Gyros (but yes, TEs are amazing now). ___________________

Yes, if you stick to barrage below 20km, you are at the advantage, but that advantage is very slight, 3 dps @ 20km, 12 dps @ 18km. Below those ranges, you might just as well go for faction ammo, see below.

In that case I would go with the 2/2 variant, since you can switch to faction shortrange earlier, and thus match the resistance holes of the ratter.

I don't understand what the paradox is. Dealing "mediocre" damage as a result of flying "safely" isn't a paradox, it's a logical balance mechanic. The relationship between defensive and offensive capability should be inverse.

the new changes they made with the enhancers has made my vaga a lot better tbh i use a 180 set up and a 220 setup . the falloff for my small gun version is about 35 km with better tracking is awesome even at high speeds i dont see the problem.

Vaga's good at what they do, right until the point where the prey brings a TD with optimal range script, at which point the Vaga might as well be throwing spit balls.

When I am training people I tell them to basically ignore Vagas do to the above. A solo Vega is not a threat to a half decent fit ratter. When you start hitting multiple Vaga's things change, but if your out numbered your in trouble anyway.
Vega's are in much better shape then back in the nano age.
Vaga nowadays do far more damage than they did during the nano age, and even during the nano age they had enough damage to kill ratters. -- 081014 : emoragequit, char transfered to a friend, 090317 : back to original owner blog |

the problem with the vaga is that it's so predictable, they are all understandably setup to it's strenghts and flown in exactly the same way. I've never died to a vaga, you either know you can kill one and engage, or know you can't and don't bother

Because that since falloff increase as you go up in autocannon tier that makes using the smaller tier seriously fail on a falloff bonused ship. -- 081014 : emoragequit, char transfered to a friend, 090317 : back to original owner blog |

My Dual 180 II split TE/Gyro fit was intended to greatly enhance the 180's superior tracking ability over 220's. Thats why i use Dual 180's vs 220's. Id rather fly a little closer & hit more often than not. Plus, I really dont need to sweat much with fast tackle frigs, the dual 180's shreads them in seconds, especialy with my enhanced tracking setup. So, no, i don't see any fail with my setup, my fit caters to the kind of play-style that i enjoy. :)
