I am wondering what is the point of 5x1400s? Even if you have to remove all gyrostabs to get it, 6x1400 is clearly better.
Why 5?
Simple math, yes 6 is 1 more than 5, but the damage and rof reductions from loosing X amount of gyros to fit the sixth gun is less overall than 5 guns with higher damage and lower rof.
6 guns and 5 gyros is much, much better than 5 guns and 6 gyros.
Allthough i'm leaning towards the 6 gun, 5 gyro route, the only true way to test and prove which is better that the other is to use someone ith 5/5 skills in all the related gunery skills and do a concentrated test over time and use a spreadsheet to prove the damage over time results.
In a PVP situation though you could have a number of very small or seeminly minor situations that could end up being very big and frustrating. Such as having 5 guns with 6 gyro fitted that miss out on that 'dam I only need 1 more shot to kill this person, arse he warped' moment where as the 6th gun might of added that 10 extra HP's needed to kill them.
Its a situation that only a detailed analysis over time can tell, so I would say 5 or 6 guns its down to whatever you feel more comfortable with in your own game.
As to the argument over wrecking hits for 2500+ I can totally agree with high skilled players dedicated to flying the Tempest that they have achieved such hits.
I have been flying the Tempest since day 1 (yes this is an alt) and trained for nothing else, and managed a fluke 2350 ish in a gate NPC (when I locked and fired for the hell of it) which made me smile. I didn't have a full bank of gyro's either, so someone with 5 in all gunery skills (like me) plus the gunery related implants then I can totally 100% believe that they have managed it.
As for a solo PVP Tempest setup, try this.
6 x 650 II's
2 x Heavy NOS
1 x 100mm AB
1 x -2 Scramble
1 x Web
1 x whatever
1 x Cap Booster
2 x Large Armor Rep
2 x Armor Hardeners
1 x PDU II
1 x Whatever (Gyro)
6 x Heavy Drones
This is by far the best solo all round PVP setup.
Although, you'll never beat a solo gank setup on a BS. e.g. Tempest with 6 guns and 6 dmg mods. This simply gives you the ability to survive in the field for longer.
The tank setup above is tried and tested with many pilots, but on the test server it couldn't beat a Tempest with 6 x 650 scouts or 800's with 6 dmg mods and no tank, so you decide which to go out with :)
