The Phoon receives an ROF and Range bonus, not a damage bonus.
A ROF bonus is a damage bonus. It's 33% more damage over time at Level 5. I'd call that a hell of a damage bonus. Damage Bonus != Damage Modifier Bonus (at least in my opinion).
Projectiles are balanced around :
RoF bonus = Weapon only slightly the worst
RoF bonus + Damage Bonus = Weapon = good/solid damage
You wind up being better using siege launchers, a solid tank and then just fitting what you can without having to use RCU/CP/PDU on a typhoon which doesn't have the second bonus (optimal barely effects autocannons, it helps artillery but you are looking at RCU to fit those on a phoon without any launchers, the artillery is still ultimately inferior to the siege launchers anyway, unless your going to be sniping from extreme range)

0 cap use, solid optimal range, better tracking and lower intended target size mean that the medium artillery hit cruisers/frigs a lot better than the large autocannons do even with the RoF bonus and hit BS ok, and from mid-range where you usually operate from rather than close range like large autocannons or the extreme range of large artilleries.
Work especially well with the tech II and the extra 20 + 8% damage from specialization (large spec of course being another months ? and a *lot* more expensive to buy anyway)
Edit : and 250 ? grid use is nice too :)

Pfff, using cruiser size guns on a BS is like usnig 10 inch tires on a monster truck. As a man and not a "girlie-man".
Could someone find a nice setup with large guns and NOT autocannons
maybe 4 x 1200mm's? 4 x siege?
4x 1200 I, 4x Siege I = 18,000 grid, Typhoon with eng 5 = 15.625 so you need 2x RCU I and you still have only 906 grid left to try to fit in tanking and other modules
Would need a third RCU if you want to fit an AB for instance with any tanking, if you are hoping to hunt other players from the long-ish ranges the 1200 work at you probably need MWD, at which point even with the three RCU you only have just over 1000 grid for a tank

if your gonna have four launchers for defenders your probably better off switching to four assaults and staggering them - rocket launchers will likely just hit the same missiles repeatedly (wasting shots) and need to reload a lot where assaults would probably stop as many missiles with less wasted shots and much less reloading
