Which indeed means that you're at ranges where you can't guarantee kills solo, and where chances of getting killed are a lot lower as well.
When a Cerberus sits at range, it's a perfect target for battleships while most other hacs have a good opportunity to avoid large turrets fire (close range or tracking disruption).
The Cerberus cap being one of the biggest jokes in the game, it is probably the worst tanker of all HACs, so range won't help you much, unless you want to pop tech I frigs, that a Cerb can't kill at range before they warp out anyways.
There's one thing a Cerberus is good at: freaking people off.
When your target takes one light missile in their face every second, chances are they'll warp out. Or die from laughing when they realize what damage you are doing to them

And the Caldari HACs dronebay could be doubled too.
Oh... wait... 2 x 0 is still 0

Any Interceptor orbiting past 10.5 km will have a field day with a Cerberus. 
same with many other ships
Which have dronebays.
Exactly what we are talking about.
I think only the Zealot has no dronebay neither, like it needs one

Giving the bonus to all ammo types, would over power the cerb in a major way... cerb vs deimos.. both have their natural tanked for kin and therm damage, and has been stated several times.. both can sit and pound each other till they run out of ammo
Deimos = 100 m¦ dronebay, with EM or explo if you want.
Cerberus = 0 m¦ dronebay.
There's one ship I don't want to see when flying my Cerberus, it's the Ishtar: I can't tank it's drones nor kill them fast enough.
You could even take a Cerberus down in a plated Thorax loaded with EM/explo drones
Not only Caldari ships have all 4 damage types, you know, even a Sacrilege has them, aswell as matari ships.

Tone down the damage reduction formulas and the Cerberus problem is half solved.
Let's say CCP improves the Cerberus, it will still leave other missile Caldari ships sub-par (don't know about the Raven, don't fly that thing).
I just fought in an interceptor tonight since a long time, and notices my 150's TII excellent shots were doing the exact same damage than my Raptor bloodclaws. Against battleships and with good missile skills.
I don't think it's possible to talk about a way to fix the Cerberus without talking about missiles and general.
