I was browsing about on EFT and I decided to open up the electronic attack ships section. I noticed the Keres and its bonuses, which, I might add, are more than decent. The 10% bonus to warp disruptor range per level of electronic attack ships and sensor dampener effectiveness seem to come together to make quite a handy ship, but in all my experience, I have never seen one of these ships in combat before. I feel like they would make excellent gate camping ships, maybe even more so than interceptors... A nanoed Keres goes nearly as fast as an inty, but with loads more mid slots.
So... in your opinion, why do you think they're so underutilized in PvP situations?

Because they're even more paperthin than their cruiser hull counterparts.

yeah but they are one hell of a lot cheaper, that's for sure 
but still, keres over interceptors bc of warp disruptor range bonus is better? i mean, inties are paper thin as well

If the only other ships on the field are frigates and destroyers, they're fine.
Otherwise...

Yes i agree with you..i do not understand why, speccialy in FW..i think the main problem is the killmail woring, everyone wants to be in the kill as a damage dealer. I used quite often the sentinel solo, but any missile/projectile decent pilot would destroy my drones making me leave the fight. the sentinel its probably the only Ewar frig that can solo. But the keres, it's a amazing tackler in a wolfpack gang, as the hyena, speccialy with its painters, fly on the painters optimal, and u will be safe, use the webs only if something tries to get in range. The kitsune usually its more of a "donŠt bother even trying" that keeps most targets away from a possible fight.

I plan to train EAF 5 this year, right after such useful skills as Yan Jung Tech 5. Say does anyone know what Yan Jung Tech can even be used for?

When CCP introduce T4 ships, you'll be way ahead of the curve.

Hmm... yeah that does sound more useful than EAF5. Thanks!

so, are they any good? or something to avoid?
sentinel? good, 17km small neuting range is nothing to scoff that much about, things considered.
kitsune? good, 70+km racial jammers are nice to have in a small gang. oddly enough, they don't get primary'ed enough, for some reason .
hyena? bad, since the nano nerf the hyena lost much of it's value (blame the 60% webs), and TP's usefullness is... limited, even considering how good they are (no, TP's usage is limited, no matter how many people say how good they are).
keres? very bad. As a long range point ship, the tackle interceptors do a better job at surviving, even considering the fact that they have half the range bonus of the keres. As a frigate dampening boat, the keres isn't that good either because of the damp's need of a fix (CCP: "Gallente ships have damp bonuses?" this is a true story btw), and the kitsune does a much better job at shutting down ships, specially considering the damp's optimal vs the kitsune's jammers optimal.
TL;DR: kitsune and sentinel = ok-ish; hyena and keres = lolwut?
