Moved from Crime & Punishment to Ships & Modules - Jacques Archambault
I would like peoples opinion on the efffectiveness of interceptors against tech 1 cruisers as i have lost several lately to far inferior skilled players using heavy missiles in cruisers against my claw
It seems regardles of whatever speed u r going u cannot outrun these missiles and defender missiles r extremely ineffective also.Is it therefore the case that an inty pilot has no chance of killing say a caracal regardless of skills/pvp xp etc.
Of course i am also talking about outrunning missiles when scrambling a target - I know it is possible to outrun them in straight lines.As i am mainly a bs pilot perhaps i am doing something slighty wrong but certainly inty is very effective against other frigates and non missile firing crusiers and ofc industrials and pods

I use 280howies tech 2 which hit v nice
but doesnt solve the heavy missiles problem
i want to scramble the target so i must be within 7500km
and at that range it seems impossible to outrun heavy missiles
the other thing with 280howies is the slow rof
u cant pop a cruiser just like that

i have to try the further orbit trick i think
but i know disruptor is v heavy on cap use for an inty

Well interesting but i have to agree with lifewire ur not safe from any misiles while orbiting my speed is high i can maintain 2000m/s plus quite easily and i dont change direction but obvioulsy becuase of this interception thing u still get hit.I think this really means that interceptors r basically useless against any type of missile firing ship cept maybe the crow as i cant fly that so i dont know
but cetainly the claw is no good.Ill try orbiting at 20km in claw c if that makes any difference but i know it will be a real struggle to maintain my cap using disruptor
And to mac - plz explain how u mnaully orbit a target that would be nice to know
The other thing is that i have not lost a single fight to other interceptors or frigs
including crows and raptors so i cant be that bad

Also it would be nice to hear from a claw pilot most of u posting here r flying crows or taranis is there actually a claw pilot who is having any joy against cruisers out there or is the claw just not good enough as i suspect

Actually claw is great for podding confed nobos
but its hopeless against cruisers - havnet been able to find setup or method
still when they think im in claw and they get all excited and camp gate with 4 ships me gets in my nice fof firing raven and pwns em all
4 in 30secs hehe
cheers confed

AND @BALLISTIC those killmails u posted r nice but i dont c any heavy missiles on the cruisers u killed - that was point of my original - even I have killed non missile firing cruisers in my claw.I want to c a mail where a claw kills a cruiser which is firing heavy missiles at it.The stilleto dont count becuase u probably jammed that bb
Thats the challenge.

The most impressive killmail here is makeh's because u can clearly c that he was dealing with a cruiser with at least 3 heavy launchers although the crow is clearly a lot better than the claw as everyone knows
