There *IS* a bug, and it's fairly well-documented.
Evidence suggest that, where a Traget Painter with penalty X is applied to a ship already under MWD Signature Penalty Y, the new Signature Radius is not:
(Base Sig)*Y*X
but:
(Base Sig)*Y*Y
in other words, the target painter applies *ANOTHER* mwd sig penalty on top of the existing one, instead of it's correct value.
so, if you paint a ship suffering from 550% sig penalty, you get
(Base Sig)*6.50*6.50
as opposed to (assuming TP II and Sig Focusing 5):
(Base Sig)*6.50*1.875

CCP not confirming it's a bug != it's not a bug
Ive had people tell me theyve been told by ccp not to expect a fix for it in the next patch though.
we shall see.

Well they've "fixed" it on SiSi.
I just tested it: if you MWD Painter has no effect on you atm.
...which isnt really a fix at all, but marginally better than the current situation.

Sigh, you can all quit the whining already, k.  
Painters are the counter/are countered by the upcoming stealth modules, so until then hold yer horses, we've only got 1 side of the coin.

Tested them on SiSi last night, and its gotten funnyer.
As of the latest version - 3492 is it - painting an MWD'ing target has no effect.
Obviously an attempt at fixing the bug gone wrong, because now the Interceptor's sig reduction bonus doesent come into effect either... at any time.
Calling for a module to be removed/nerfed because of a bug is... well... y'all need to go back to kindergarden.

So popping frigs at 5km with 1400mm's is balanced? Noted.
It's a **BUG**. It's already being fixed on SISI. Now please, drop the ******* whining.
