As the titles says.
I just bought myself a tengu a few days back, because I heard they are crazy fast, tank thousands of dps , dish out BC damage and have one of the highest survivablity on the Battlefield.
WELL!
To be frank.. I think not...
I am barely dishing out 300 dps atm , only has an ehp of 35k.
Thats even worse than my Drake.
While on Battleclinic, I see people dishing out 1200 dps+ , and even tankier than a Skiff.


SO HERE IS THE QUESTION!
What is the minimum SP for which categories of skills should a newbie Tengu pilot should have , before he even thinks about hopping into one and go pew pew pvp style in it?

Here is my stats according to EFT 2.16

Alright, although I'm not fond of your fit (and really not that fond of the Tengu either), I went ahead and did a side by side comparison of your EFT numbers and mine using your exact fit.

And as you can see, the difference in primary and support skills between you and I make a HUGE difference. My implants reflected there are all standard + to attributes that I wear to accelerate skill training, so the numbers would be a bit higher if I was in my missile implant clone.

I realized I forgot to fit rigs to mine after the fact.

Side by side EFT Numbers

Yep, most of my tengu fits use T2 MBLA + 2 flares or bay thrusters for HAM, the only alternative is 2 rigors + flare or 3 field extenders for thundercats. There's no excuse no to imo. Tengus really don't need CCCs (aside from 100mn ones), they're a damn waste of rig slots/calibrations since we can fit a reasonable or even an absurd level of tank without resorting to large even med boosters.

You didn't hear?
They are nerfing Tengu.

2005 Caldari
2007 Ca*dari
2010 Ca*d*ri
2012 C****ri

My HAM fit currently uses a T2 bay thrusters and T2 rocket fuel cache partition. I like having extra range..

Good lord, how is this thread still going;

@OP;

Your skills are bad, your fit is bad, and you should feel bad.

Tengus (as they currently stand) are generally 100MN HML fit for PVP, and HML Rigor/Flare Rigged for PVE, your fit is bad and you should feel bad, as I say.


Also, did somebody above me say 100MN Tengus need CCCs....

Crikey I have a Navy Omen that could stomp that Tengu.

That's some absurdly low EHP and DPS for PvP in a ship that expensive.

while this is a stupid thread, HML cloak tengu is already total garbage and after the dps and range nerf will be so bad, you might as well consider a covops frig for better dps.

Lol.... this is awesome, I think I'm the only one who's clicked...

But I'm not eve fitting a cloaky HML
I am fitting for a Heavy DPS HAMgu

Did I say it was impossible? No. But for the vast majority of T3 pilots, including those who use them in PVP, it's rather unrealistic. Officer fit with full slave set, max damage implants (including Pashan's Turret Customization Mindlink), T2 trimarks, full Legion boosts, and overheat were necessary to get it to 1396 DPS and 438k EHP.

If you're going to put out numbers, make sure you didn't have to create a completely ridiculous fit to get there.

And as a side question...

Was there a reason why you thought you should train your Caldari sub system skills up BEFORE EVEN HAVING trained Caldari Strategic Cruiser?

And further, a reason why you bothered without even having Caldari cruiser 5 yet? :P

peer pressure

i love my 'gu

gunna have to invest in sheettty HAMs too, that sucks i dont want to tickle people at 60k with HML when i can mess them up far better with some artys.

dont give me the balance bull, HMLs are not the great destroyer, blobs of drakes use HMLs well BECAUSE ITS A BLOB DURR anything is good when you have 200 of them.

sigh

RIP HML tengu

anything is good when you have 200 of them.

Ever seen blobs of 200 Brutixes?

Blobs of 200 Deimos - Moas - Eagles etc?

OP is much smarter than this, and I'm convinced shes a super troll at this point. ;) Due to various factors.

Ohhhh someones getting it

I think I lost ONE friend because of this post lol
