thinkign about messing around with a typhoon setup, and like the idea of sniping with these things (i could fit 1400's but not much else would go on lol)
but...i don't see many posts with these on, ne comments? i prefere sniping to close range any day, so these, to me, look the biz

Probibly not worth trying to snipe in a typhooon as you can only fit 4 turrets, since missiles are slow most people who love projectiles tend to use tempests (6 turrets) as this makes a more usefull sniping ship.
Saying that a typhoon is still quite versatile, and some use them for lvl4's i just think the tempest makes a better sniper because of its larger number of turret slots (missiles are sloooow at the moment, post missile fix it might be better).
I think thats basically it really, sniping in a phoon isnt often done because the tempest is much better at it (more grid for guns and more turret slots).

The Phoon is a good sniper. The ship bonus adds to range for the guns, so you can use more damaging ammo at longer ranges. This helps offset the Tempests extra 2 guns. I use Cruise missiles for the speed of delivery, and with 4 of them I can deliver a lot of damage.
I also use 4x 1200mm guns and find them quite nice.

Well, you need a REALLY good ammo to offset +2 turrets alongside with a built in damage bonus (not taking the rof bonus into account, Typhoon has got one too)

Missle changes should help phoon a ton. 1200s + cruises should allow for some fun.
Actually 1400s + heavies might even be fun. I need to get on test and experiment!

I use 250s instead of 280s...650s instead of 720s...1200s instead of 1400s...
The smaller artillaries are more versatile in various combat situations...and having more than 10 shots is a plus.

Granted, 250, 650 and 1200 are underrated and can be very useful (especially because having a lesser grid consumption can often free one low slot) ... However, if it's burst damage your after, big guns are priceless :)
