MWD fitted Dramiel can tank full aggro
MWD:
Signature Radius Bonus+500 %
Max Velocity Bonus+500 %
Looks like MWDs don't give you any speed tank. Looks like you'd be better off fitting an AB.
Why does 99% of Eve think MWDs affect tracking?
The importance of this, however, is nothing compared to the necessity of having an indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

Because they do. The trade off is that bigger guns hit you harder. If you've got a MWD running and you're moving faster than the enemies' tracking then they'll miss a lot but when they do hit it'll hurt more.
I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're on about.
There is a tracking formula. It takes into account both angular velocity and sig radius just as much. Both go up exactly as much when you use a microwarpdrive. 500%. That means the hit chance is exactly the same. The only thing that makes a difference is skills that make the MWD faster (acceleration control) and the fact that when you go fast, you don't have a perfect orbit, so you actually have a less good angular than might be expected.
Your vague sentences involving "big guns" and "moving faster than their tracking" simply have nothing to do with actual game mechanics.
Please go look at the turret tracking formula before posting. Then fit an AB to your dramiel. Thank you and goodbye.

Unfortunately, the real game mechanics is a bit more complex than EFT percentages.
No they're not, I just assumed you were talking about speed tanking (in which case my point would stand, even with missiles) and not kiting.
Incidentally, 99% of eve DOES think that MWD affects speed tanking.

The fact is, I have done Guristas 8/10 dual boxing with Drami fitted with MWD and Manticore as damage dealer. It takes about an hour.
Period.
àand have you tried it without the MWD?
Oh, and the speed:sig radius ratio is a factor for missiles just as it is for guns (although using a different formula), so the same effect applies here: if you increase both by 500%, the ratio remains exactly the same and you only end up right where you startedà
Except as the other guy pointed out, he probably meant kiting and not speed tanking.
But he remains an idiot for having no idea how sig and speed works.
