Muad 'dib The Imperial Fedaykin Amarrian Commandos 811	Posted - 2013.03.29 12:56:00 - [1] - Quote ...and yet make it damned near impossible to fit artys? because the auto fits would be too powerful? CCP recently gave it a low slot, which has made basically no difference to arty fits and barely any to auto fits. Arty trasher cripples itself too and rifters (or any other minm frig) pretty much never do. Are small artys too powerful? Is a tiny 3 gun alpha really that op? Well what ever the case, how about changing the bonus to ... well anything else since its a dead bonus on the atuo fits which the jag is pretty much limited to. http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4375/mynewsig2.jpg
Jacob Holland Weyland-Vulcan Industries 132	Posted - 2013.03.29 13:16:00 - [2] - Quote Perhaps the difficulty is less about fitting arties and more about fitting arties with medium shield extenders. I have to admit that I haven't flown my Jag for years but I don't recall it being hard to fit except in comparison with the Dramiel...
Hakaimono Stillwater Corporation 57	Posted - 2013.03.29 15:47:00 - [3] - Quote Dunno why the Jag has any range bonuses since it shines most as a heavy tackler. If you want to kite, use a Wolf.

I know everyone cried aaaages ago about swapping the opt for falloff on both these, but the jag is definitely the one worse off in when it comes to making use of its bonus properly. http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4375/mynewsig2.jpg
Zarnak Wulf In Exile. Imperial Outlaws. 1116	Posted - 2013.03.29 22:13:00 - [5] - Quote I agree with swapping the bonuses between the Wolf and Jag. Arty Jag: High: 280mm II x 3 Empty High Mid: Limited MWD Medium Regolith Extender Cap Recharger II Warp Disruptor II Low: MAPC II Gyro II TE II Nano II Rigs: ACR Auxilliary Thrusters or Shield Extender The above fit is about the best you can do for a kitey fit and you need perfect fitting and shield skills to squeeze it on. The Jag as an arty platform has the following issues - severe PG problems, very limited capacitor for extended operation of the MWD and long point, useless fourth high, and tracking issues at high speeds. The wolf as an arty platform actually has a superior damage curve for most of the engagement envelope.

Falloff bonus is still useful on arty Starships were meant to fly~

Falloff bonus is still useful on arty thats exactly what i meant: so what does the opt bonus do on a ship that cant use it? http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4375/mynewsig2.jpg
Zarnak Wulf In Exile. Imperial Outlaws. 1116	Posted - 2013.03.29 22:21:00 - [9] - Quote 865 Alpha. 125 DPS. 147 overheated which it can do for about a minute and 15 seconds. That is with close range faction that gives 12.9km optimal and 14.2km falloff.
Muad 'dib The Imperial Fedaykin Amarrian Commandos 812	Posted - 2013.03.29 22:24:00 - [10] - Quote so with either artys taking less or jag having more fitting, we could fly a arty fit on a jag with an opt bonus and not only use it but actually fit pvp modules and a minor tank in all our slots and rigs? its role is range with optimal, yet it isnt. http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4375/mynewsig2.jpg
Quontor Zarrkos Pwn 'N Play Nulli Secunda 10	Posted - 2013.03.29 22:43:00 - [11] - Quote I agree here that the bonuses on the jag feel a bit 'wasted'. The awesome part about the ship is the slot layout, 4/4/4 is really flexible and nice for a frigate imo.
Kenerian BLOOM. Verge of Collapse 13	Posted - 2013.03.30 00:21:00 - [12] - Quote Jag is a solid ship, although I can't say much for the car these days...

I think you'll find a use for any 4-4-4 slot frigate. That is simply to good of a layout not to get use. The question revolves around the use of artillery on the Jag - that is what the optimal bonus is there for. I honestly don't recall the last time I fought an arty jag. I personally have tried to fly them but have never been really satisfied by any fit. I posted the long point Kiter fit above. I've also tried a scram range Kiter fit: High: 250mm II x 3 Malkuth Light Missile Launcher Mid: AB II Medium Regolith Shield Extender Meta web Meta scram Low: MAPC II Gyro II TE II x 2 Rigs: Shield Extender x 2 8.4 k EHP. 126 DPS. Keep the target at 8km an pound away. This level of damage is anemic for an AF though. The Hawk and Vengeance make for much better scram range kiters. My last attempt at an arty jag used a SAAR in the lows for tank and a AB, dual web and scram configuration in the mids. With only around 576 armor though, the jag really has a hard time armor tanking. The optimal bonus on the jag is wasted.
Zarnak Wulf In Exile. Imperial Outlaws. 1119	Posted - 2013.03.30 15:10:00 - [14] - Quote My last point is the arty wolf: High: 280mm II x 4 Empty High Mid: Limited MWD Faint Warp Disruptor Low: MAPC II TE II x 2 Internal Force Fiels Array Explosive Plating II Rigs: Projectile Burst Projectile Collision The damage curve exceeds that of the Jaguar at all but a narrow stretch of middle range. The fitting is much easier - albeit tight on CPU. 1153 alpha with close range faction is much closer to the mark. I realize many fits nano the hell out of the arty wolf or load it with fitting mods to get more gyros on- the above fit is a practical example only. Recommendations: Give the Jag a falloff bonus rather then optimal. Transfer 100 shield points to armor. Give the Wolf an optimal bonus. Give it 10 more CPU.
Solstice Project Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 3045	Posted - 2013.03.30 16:18:00 - [15] - Quote My 50km Artillery Thrasher disagrees with being crippled.
Vayn Baxtor Community for Justice R O G U E 45	Posted - 2013.03.31 05:17:00 - [16] - Quote Keep an eye open for the Assault Frigate tiericide. Best to be very vibrant when the thread hits F&ID forums. Using tablet, typoes are common and I'm not going to fix them all.

Kara Books Deal with IT. 475	Posted - 2013.03.31 20:02:00 - [18] - Quote Jag is already more popular, what would be the real, non stealth results for both ships especially in comparison.
Zircon Dasher 181	Posted - 2013.03.31 21:01:00 - [19] - Quote Mmmm..... arty jag gangs with link and RR support Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

The wolf as an arty platform actually has a superior damage curve for most of the engagement envelope. No, it actually doesnt. It also has absolutely no tank whatsoever, making its engagement envelope extremely small. It dies if you fart on it. I fly a wolf with a pair of TEs. I will happily fight any arty wolf, anytime, anyday in it. And I dont have to run the instant a drone is deployed or someone starts hitting me. Still not much tank, but infinitely better than the FOTM artillery shitfit in every meaningful way. Please stop trying to destroy the Wolf so you can have a T2 dramiel. The Jaguar sucks, I am 100% with you on that. I wish people would stop recommending fixes to the Jag at the expense of the wolf.
