Autocannons let you have more flexibility with range along with being able to scramble.
I vote autocannons unless its a gatecamp.

Really depends in combat condiditions.
If going in >20km gang/solo then id say Autocannons, if going as in fleet or 20+km then id say 1400 IIs. -=-

ACs rock in PvP; that said, artillery can be very effective, too, if you know what you're doing - just ask Stradivarious. His tempest and machariel scare the **** outta me. -Wrayeth

For artillery to become a viable option you have to have very good skills. Its unlikely you'll be able to hold the enemy at your optimal for a very long time so you need to do the damage quickly. Autocannons give you flexibility but won't always stand up to other short range ships. Its all about kitting your ship out to take advantage of the properties of the weapons and using them properly in the fight. No point in going toe to toe with a blaster ship at 1km when you could do it at 12km and stop them touching you.

IÆm basically still a noob, so I suspect there is something I donÆt understand here. It would seem to me that if you can keep a blaster oriented ship at 12k, then you can keep it at a greater range almost as easy. In other words, if you can keep them from closing on you at all, you must have the speed edge in some way or other (since you are both going to web each other it kind of cancels out right?). So, if you can put 12k between you, why not more?
I guess the difference is if he warps in on top of you and you web each other, it would be hard to get out far enough fast enough (assuming you are faster)? Or if you are both webbed at 10k or so, you will have the edge as he or she creeps into optimal (assuming he or she is faster).
Anyway, IÆm sure IÆm overlooking something, so lay it on me.

Also, it kind of seems like megapulses would melt you if you tried to go against them with autocannons; what am I missing here (lasers just too easy to tank?)?
It just kind of seems like autocannons get shafted all around. They only outrange blasters due to falloff and do much less damage. Megapulses outrange them by a bit and do comparable to greater damage. I guess autocannons have the major cap use advantage, but so does artillery? It almost seems like you are better off using 720 IIs on a BS instead of autos: easy to fit, better range, and about the same damage. Then again you get half the tracking and lose the ship bonus.
Anyway, I know IÆve got no real PvP experience, and IÆm making some bad assumptions. Since IÆm flying Min, I have an interest in being instructed.

Edited by: Arti K on 14/10/2005 07:12:14 Depends on the range of the fight.
over 30km -> 1400mm's
under 30km -> 800mm's
As it stands, you can gank and tank your tempest with autocannons. The damage mod isn't real high, but the RoF is real short, so it makes up for it, and a gankageddon has no tank, so your cap will hopefully last long enough, otherwise you're pretty much screwed

The secret to making all Minmatar guns good, besides having high skills (obviously), is:
Tracking computers.
Forget everything else except your webber. Forget DPS calculations and estimations. As soon as I whacked on a tracking pc, my damage just made me happy in my pants, whereas before I was considering which race's ships I was going to switch to.
I know you tend to see people using TC's on Tempest Arty platforms, but you don't see them mentioned many other times besides. Do eeeet!

you forgot the almighty target painter - with 5 mids you can scramble, web, track and paint and still have a slot left to play with.
2 painters, web + tracking do bloody wonders. combined with a scrambler + ab to keep the range and it's teh win

Guns have a purpose. So trying to find the best one because others say it's best is not good. Arty's for long range. Autocannons for short range. Enough said.
