Meh,
Look it's a Drake, here people fit a kinetic hardened it can't do anything else.
Or if you're more evil.
Look it's a Drake, lets kite it with a Caracal just out his range and he never gets in range because it has the agillity of a Whale.
Nice damage projection on paper but,
1) you are avoided, bacause you can't catch them
2) you're not avaoided because people lauch about Kinetic damage and you get killed.
It is quite nice in larger gangs but the days of "The Drake" are over.
as the kill list already show, Caracal is higher now. |

For people who scream, "Oh, just tank Kinetic"--- thats simply metagaming your fit.
Congrats, you are now gimped against all other ships. Also, Drakes can easily swap damage types the minute they run into a lol-90% Kin-resisted metagamer.
Did you actualy see the DPS on a Non Kinetic Drake, it 2/3 of it's kinetic at lvl 5, that less than a Caracal or Cyclone to compare it with other missile ships.
Secondly Kinetic damage is about the easiest damage to counter in the game, it's the second thoughest base shield resistance, and Gallente have a resistance against it.
I wouldn't know what it would do against the new Cane but I'm quite sure it won't dominate overall.
Stepping over to HM will make it PvP wise very vunrable against everything that is smaller than a BC.
It's not completly rubbish but you don't have to fear it, It will however still be usefull in blobs, but the Polda Drake will be replaced by the HAMClone, and the PvE Drake lost quite some usefullness with EM rats.
Strangly it mostly people that didn't fly a Drake that think it awesome now. because it does 2,9% extra Kinnetic damage on EFT.

why does the Drake retreat 5&6 and the Cane not 3&4, in other words why do you have senario 3&4 a battle in Scram Range and in 5&6 not.
Also Do al your senario's have the same resists and weapons? |

@ Herr Wilkus, would you mind place the entire fittings of your test and are these test calculations or simulated battles online? |
