I know it was designed to be a mid to long range artillery platform but how stupid would I be if I put 425s on it armor tanked shot ppl in the face close range? Is it viable? Has it been done before? If so to what degree? Anyone got a good fit? I have skills for short range armor tank or mid range shield buffer. Is armor repping an option?
Thank you for your opinons.

Edited by: Pr1ncess Alia on 25/06/2010 23:55:49 You really might as well use a rupture.
Offensively your not gaining much by going with a muninn, defensively you'll have better tank (a bit) but not enough that justifies it being a full magnitude more expensive than it's t1 brother.
edit: i'm not sure what shield tank you'll fit on either, since they both have 3 mids you could do reppers, but really you'll be better off with 1600mm plate + eanm and a damC

Why bother when a Hurricane does the same thing better and cheaper? _________________________________

You might as well use a Hurricane as well... I've tried EFT-ing a useful closerange Munnin fit but the -1 midslot and less DPS and so on made it meh. On the other hand, I can't really think of any HAC which is really superb for upclose fighting bar maybe Sacriledge which is passable.

But still debatable compared to the HAM Drake. It just seems the general rule of thumb with HACs is to use their mobility and range, which the equivilent battlecruisers generally lack. Taking one into scram range means losing both those advantages, and immediately calls into question why you're flying that in the first place. _________________________________

Close-range fit has some limited use against amarr BCs, and as a honey trap for frigates when you go for buffer and tracking.
Its also rather decent if you got logistic support due its resists, can work with both scimi and guardian.

as the others already said the hurricane is better for close range. the munnin could be nice to swat frigate but at that point i think the stabber fleet issue is a better choice.

The best thing to do is not sit around asking people but put a set up together and try it out, you never know what nice little tricks you can come up with unless you do some experimentation.

Edited by: Annie Anomie on 26/06/2010 18:21:17 I've seen it done. MMmm. I dunno. I wasn't super impressed.
By the time you're plating you're not a lot faster than a BC.
The fleet stabber is still pretty quick plated btw so that idea works better on that hull.

Yeah, because as we know there's a vast amount a Muninn can do when scrammed and webbed that a cane can't. I'm sure that inferior slot layout, gank and tank is a huge advantage. _________________________________

Its more of a situational thing than an all out combat support. I had a mate would kill ravens with a dual rep 220 vulcan set up, to bad I cant remember the complete set up. Its viable, but I think I would set up three hurricanes for the price.

There are 3 reasons you might do this:
1) the honey trap thing, you can surprise the **** out of some people who think you would of course be arty fit and come in close to get under transversal. Seems of minimal utility though unless there is a specific situation that calls for it.
2) you own the bpo and like it.
3) the lulz.
As people have said hurricane will be better for all other purposes or just fit rupture.
