Hi guys, I'm back after a 4 month of rest and I'm wondering if its better to use cruise missile or lower weaponery to complete the lvl 3 missions. Or what else can I use to complete them.
Thank for your advices ! Canum V.

Lower for sure. Now you gotta shoot small missiles ar small targets. Cruises are too big for lvl3 missions, since almost all the rats you'll meet are cruiser and below.
I suggest heavy missiles as your main punch. They will smash cruisers very nicely, and they also kill inties decently well. Fit assult launchers to lob light missiles if you like, those will tear inties apart.
Drones are now very much part of the equation for close in defense against fast and small enemies. Use them all the time if possible, they are very effective.
IMO, Raven may be a little too big for lvl 3 missions. Why not use a battlecruiser or HAC? Nothing wrong with using Raven for lvl3, just that it's really quite clumsy.

it makes it really easy when you can tank an entire deadspace at once, and you won't die to the stupid overpowered missions like spy stash. not sure if you can do that in a BC without having to kill a sentrygun, warp out before everything else kills you, kill another sentrygun, etc.
I like assault launchers over heavy because heavy does really awful damage to frigates, even with the missile skills trained up, and L3 usually has tons of frigates.

Raven is still fine for level 3 (altho, not a challenge - just for the isk!). Just mix up your weapons (couple siege, couple cruise, couple heavies and/or add guns - so as to be able to damage frigs) fit a web to make drones' job easier on the fast frigs.
With the right hardeners on, you hardly ever need to shield boost tbh.
It is a shame that the level 4's can take 6 hours for a mission with a respawn at downtime, so you cannot split the mission over two sessions. Yeah, I know, suck it up or join a group . I have been looking.
I am told that BC are good for level 3's - quicker than BS in fact and, as the second poster said, AF makes them a challenge.

siege is useless on L3 since there's no BS (not counting extrav bonus level since there's no loot or anything to make it worthwhile) and the damage on small ships is terrible.
L3 in megathron with heavy pulse lasers is faster than brutix because I don't have to worry about things like tanking and capacitor and magical heavy missile batteries that hit for full damage on shields with explosive missiles.

or assault and heavy, cba to do the math but I think assault has better dps on small targets than cruise.
cruise is great for killing those damn sentryguns though
