Ok, I know this will likely end up as flame-bait. Just curious if anyone has tried a similar setup. If so please post with some of ur results.
Was thinking of a Falcon setup which could easily be adapted to any other force recon cruiser.
Here goes:
Falcon: 4 Hi, 7 Med, 3 Low
4 Hi: 1 x T2 Cov Ops Cloak
3 x T2 Med Smartbombs (Pick a type)
7 Meds: 1 x 10MN AB II
1 x Med Shield Booster T2
1 x Large Shield Extender (T2 if exists)
1 x Webber
1 x Warp Jammer/Disruptor
2 x ECM Bursts
3 Lows: 3 x Power Diag T2
According to my rough calculations this should fit without even taking into account Engineering/Electronic skill bonii.
I figured the basic tactic would be sneak up cloaked or have a scout and jump in when you know a target is coming. Uncloak, warp jam, web, and begin SB'ing to death. If they get a lock on u, hit the ECM burst's and hopefully break lock. Could also be a decent tackler for fleet ops I suppose. Tie down a target until support arrives.
Just felt like putting it out there. Prolly a horid setup but I think it'd definitely have the element of suprise working in it's favour.

You ever had a look at the cap need of a ecm burst? You wont have that much cap left after firing your smartbombs.

i believe ECM Bursts are broken and they have been since the beginning of the game. i dont know if i could ever fly a falcon and use it in combat unless i was just jamming.

now this is the way a sig should be

ECM burst was nerfed with EW changes...

Well it's certainly innovative. I think your major problem is going to be that all it will take is one single opponent to hold lock for long enough and you will lose a multi-million ISK craft in seconds. Even with your shield Med slots, you are still have bacofoil for defence and are likely the number one target.

Ok, well in place of ECM Bursts try ECM Multispec Jammers. The Falcon has a 50% reduction in cap need for them with the max skills associated with flying the Falcon.
Short of that, could the smartbomb setup be viable? Or would I be better off just going with a Rook and Heavy's?

I dont understand why anyone would fit a smartbomb setup on anything other than a BS, frankly. To use a 150m ISK ship that has bonuses specific to jamming seems very wasteful.

Smartbombs really use to much cap. I think heavy neutron blasters and a heavy missile launcher are the best choice for a solo setup. Your biggest problem in a falcon is the lack of damage output. It doesnt help you to jam your enemies to hell when you cant break their tank.

Get some nos in there instead of the blasters

You have 4 highs to Nos and Kill with? ... dont hold your breath... you ll need a dual web to keep them from jumping if the engagement starts 100km from the gate

Its even worse, you only have 3 highs since you need 1 for the cloaking.
Dr Fighter:
Nos doesnt work if you have nothing (or just a launcher) left to deal damage. A Falcon has 0 drone bay, btw.

The Falcon is "Gimped"
The 7 mids are beautifull but as it can only fit 2 missile launchers it does the damagae of a "wet lettuce" ..
Suggest you stay at 100km and jam jam jam
