nate555 Caldari The Godhand Corporation	Posted - 2011.09.04 07:05:00 - [1] i have herd in some cases that assault launchers can take out cruisers. is this true, i used them today in some pvp, only did real damage to frigs. I only have t1 right now though.
iKill Giants Eternal Phoenix Rises	Posted - 2011.09.04 07:14:00 - [2] Put it this way. An AML fit cruiser will do full damage to another cruiser, it's just that full damage with AMLs isn't exactly enough to kill most cruisers before they kill you. It's best to stick to frigs, which die faster.

Klymer	Posted - 2011.09.04 07:27:00 - [4] From the description: Quote: Launcher for cruisers intended to counter fast frigates, can only be fitted with regular light missiles Cruiser defense is going to be too high in pvp for them to do any real damage, or at least I hope it would be NPC cruisers on the other hand crumble rather easily if your using something like a Caracal with 5 of them and a BCS or two for good measure.
nate555 Caldari The Godhand Corporation	Posted - 2011.09.04 07:38:00 - [5] what about heavy assault launchers. how are they when it comes to frigs? i know it will do damage to cruisers
ShahFluffers Ice Fire Warriors	Posted - 2011.09.04 08:21:00 - [6] Originally by: nate555 what about heavy assault launchers. how are they when it comes to frigs? i know it will do damage to cruisers The exact opposite. It will do full damage against stuff bigger than cruiser level... but frigs will take minimal damage. _______________________ "Just because I seem like an idiot doesn't mean I am one." ~Unknown

Klymer	Posted - 2011.09.04 09:03:00 - [8] Also warhead rigor catalyst rigs Quote: This ship modification is designed to decrease the signature radius factor for missile explosions at the expense of increased CPU requirements for launchers. Note: only works on guided missiles, that is light missiles, heavy missiles and cruise missiles

Klymer	Posted - 2011.09.04 09:32:00 - [10] yeah my bad, I don't use hams lol

AMLs fire standard light missiles, which are guided, whereas HAM launchers fireà wellà HAMs, which are not. Basically, don't look at the launcher ù look at the ammo. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates The Star Fraction	Posted - 2011.09.04 19:12:00 - [12] Assault launchers are basically high capacity, higher rate of fire standard launchers. That makes them pretty unusual, in that they're the -only- weapon that fits a hull size larger, but has the 'tracking' of the smaller ship weapon. Their paper firepower is pretty poor though - they won't do the DPS that heavy assaults or heavy missiles will do. But what they will do, is - practically speaking - full damage on anything within a 40km sphere - 60km if you're flying a caracal. But that also means you need to take advantage of that range - for a 40km weapon that does full damage to all size targets, they're good. For a shorter range weapon, they're noit very good at all.
nate555 Caldari The Godhand Corporation	Posted - 2011.09.04 23:59:00 - [13] so heavy assaults would be better for what i want to do?
Mrs Demeanor	Posted - 2011.09.05 00:46:00 - [14] Edited by: Mrs Demeanor on 05/09/2011 00:47:54 What you want to do is fly your caracal like a nano ship and take advantage of its full damage at range. Eg Gun boat Vs Caracal Gun boat has more dps with in 10km and when applied it hurts but go past 10km his dps will half and become minimal out at 18 to 20km (max disruptor range) Now the caracal with good skills will be doing it 200+ dps out to 57km so if you can keep the target at 18km to 24km and just kill him (fit below). The web is to slow frigs so you apply full damage. If a cruiser gets with in 13km over heat web to slow him down and burn range again.

You can fit Heavy missles but With the smaller tank you need to have range or you will die FAST!

James Lyrus Lyrus Associates The Star Fraction	Posted - 2011.09.05 14:26:00 - [16] Cerbs suffer massively from a lack of drone bay. And they still are rather poor on powergrid. Frankly, if you're fitting HAMs to it, then most of the time you'd be better off in a Drake. The reason's quite simple - if you're 'capping' your range at 'point ' range, you lose a lot of the advantage of a Cerb. If you're not, then there's a lot of milage in being able to standoff by more than 50km. In my opinion, the Cerb's primary purpose for existing is that double range bonus - on this ship, AMLs will reach out and touch frigates at 100km. That really is pretty terrifying, and with that much range you can also stay well clear of large ships, and apply credible amounts of fire. But with heavy missiles, you can propel those 250km, and do damage comparable to - or more than - a battleship at the same range. That's really quite impressive, and something that's well worth having.... The Cerb's biggest problem really, is that it's a ship that needs to fit in with the gang dynamic.
nate555 Caldari The Godhand Corporation	Posted - 2011.09.05 17:16:00 - [17] gang dynamic?
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates The Star Fraction	Posted - 2011.09.05 18:58:00 - [18] Originally by: nate555 gang dynamic? Most Caldari ships have a bad reputation for PvP. It's not entirely the case though - in that if you have a ship with a specific role, Caldari probably have one of the best ships at it. But if you want a multi-role ship - something with a bit of tackle, a bit of tank, and a bit of gank they're not nearly so good. This is 'Caldari Syndrome' - the ships are superb as gang elements, and poor standalone. The Cerberus is the epitome of this - even the shortest range weapons it totes, go 40km+. Which means it's sacrificing 1-2 of it's bonuses, simply to be able to get a point on something. And when it does, you find it's tank is a bit crap, and the lack of a dronebay means it's rather prone to getting pinned down. However, if you play to it's strengths, it's capable of quite an incredible amount of anti-frigate firepower at 125km. And you're really quite hard pressed to find a ship that'll deliver 400dps at all ranges from 0-250km. But the Cerb can do this too. But in order to do this, it needs to have a place in a suitably configured gang. It needs to form a cohesive part of the gang dynamic. The same is true of many Caldari ships - fill in their roles, and optimise them accordingly, and you have something truly excellent. Try and do - as is the 'normal' for PvP - a bit of a generalist, and you end up with something that's just not very good overall. (There are, of course, exceptions. The Drake, for example, is overwhelmingly popular because it _is_ a ship that can do the 'all rounder' niche)
nate555 Caldari The Godhand Corporation	Posted - 2011.09.05 19:07:00 - [19] yea i like to fly with a curse. he could tackle and i could stay at range.

I've seen vids of them doing really well at short ranges.
