High(****) Precision missiles are a joke, not only do they do less damage and less range, but they slow your ship down, for a tiny decrease in explosion radius and tiny increase in explosion velocity.
Precision Heavy
Explosion velocity: 87m/s
Explosion Radius: 112 m
Maximum Velocity Penalty: -5%
Damage: 130
Regular Heavy
Explosion Velocity: 81m/s
Explosion Radius: 125 m
Damage: 150
Cruise Precision
Ex Vel: 71m/s
Ex Rad: 270m
Max Vel Pen: -4%
Damage: 260
Regular Cruise
Ex Vel: 69m/s
Ex Rad: 300m
Damage: 300
I don't see how anyone would bother. Fury Missiles are good, Fury Cruises suck because exp velocity of Cruises Suck.
Its obvious that they need some fixing. Whoever made these values I need to know his name, so I can blacklist him for being incompetent.

This sort of incompetence is what CCP is known for, carefully compared most ammo makes no sense. On the other end of the spectrum take scorch for example, provided you're not drooling and eating crayons its an extremely powerful ammo with virtually no drawbacks at all. Likewise conflag has minimal drawbacks and outdamages/outranges faction multi while hail and void are still jokes with no purpose unless you need to beat on something literally right in front of you while at a standstill.
You may even notice a pattern, scorch +50% optimal, null +25% optimal +25% falloff, and barrage +50% falloff; all with -25% tracking. Equal right? No. CCP failed to consider that optimal and falloff do not scale the same and failed to provide either differing drawbacks or benefits to bring anything resembling an equality in usefulness. Oddly enough the inequallity of optimal and falloff scaling is considered in tracking enhancers and tracking computers but completely ignored in ammo.
These sorts of random mathimatical blundering is pretty commonplace with CCP. The common view is that poorly concieved mechanics like these make eve 'hardcore' and is generally just glazed over with PR nonsense by CCP, welcome to EVE.

All T2 ammo needs to be evaluated and balanced, along with hybrids of course.
