If it's a shield/nano build you should be able to pull range on the frigs to allow your guns to track. ofc this requires MWD

If it's an armour fit simply web them down

In either case you probs want the biggest guns you can fit, and the frigs should be the very first thing you shoot (burning in the opposite direction with barrage loaded if necessary)

Failing all else, titanium sabot and depleted uranium both give a tracking bonnus of 20%, might be enough to get your hits in.

Use Immobility driver sub, fit web, and use 425mms. You'll hit better, while having more range and dps.

Do this. Even if you are shield tanked. You can squeeze it on and with six guns and five damage/tracking mods. ;]

Kill frigs before they got their orbit goin' dawg.

With some of the really small ones, spider drones for example, even at like, 0.05 angular velocity, WELL within my tracking I can't hit them.

---

At 0.05 rad/s, they're not really well within your trackingà

Compared to your guns, they're effectively moving at 0.25 rad/s so you're already down to <25% hit chance before skills and tracking mods (and probably still below 50% with all those things).

How is it that if overview reports 0.05 rad/s, they're actually going .25 rad/s to my guns? I'm not contradicting you, it's entirely possible there's some math here I'm not familiar with.

Because of the word "effectively".

Another way of looking at it is that your guns are not tracking at the number it says in the info sheet ù against that small a target (25m sig radius iirc. but that may be way off), it tracks at one fifth its normal speed. This has the same effect on your hit chance as if the target was moving 5+ faster than it actually does.

All turrets have a Signature Resolution stat, which is compared against the Signature Radius of the target, and the ratio of SigRes:SigRad acts as a direct multiplier to the turret's tracking.

Also, while we're at it, it's worth reminding of the fact that 1:1 tracking ù when the target has an angular velocity that matches the tracking of your guns ù you only have a 50% chance to hit. If they're orbiting at half your tracking speed, you have a 70% chance to hit. So even if you're going after targets that are the right size, being "well within your tracking" still gives you a fairly big chance of missing, and a correspondingly decreased max hit quality.

In fact, let's just dump this one here for good measure:


Since we're talking about medium turrets, the signature resolution is 125m ù against a small drone target (25m sig radius), the size component comes out as 125/5=5, which means that the target's transversal is effectively multiplied by 5 (or, conversely, that your tracking is divided by 5).

i use 6x720mm T2 howitzers with dual sansha webs @37km,frigs that manage to go below guns are rare(usually sansha frigs in incursions mission ones don't stand a chance) and do get eaten buy warriors II.
