How good actually are these ships in combat against BSs/Hacs, when uncloaked (btw i love the idea of a force of there been able to move through hostile territory and having the ultimate PvP bonuses

if they face the amarr one they can't activate anything due to lack of cap, and can't hit anything moving faster than a moon past 1km. caldari one? can't lock anything (it jams better than a scorp!). gallente? can't lock anything past 10k, and when it can it takes 3 minutes to do so. It also gets warp scrambled at very long distances. Minmatar? it gets turned into a giant bullseye from 40km away.

Whats the fire power on them like?
Can you move into enemy territory and make a BS stay dead in Space like a fat chicken with no legs, and be able to shoot it to smoke before its back up arrived

firepower sucks but as a part of a small team they are extremely effective.

they dont do dps...
a deimos seemed to have no problem tanking my falcon & 2 rifters... it was only after some further backup arrived on our side, some 3-4mins later, that we were able to kill it.
In saying that though, it was just enough dps to sort out its drone, and enough jamming to keep it occupied, so that we only lost 1 frig, and kept it in place for those several minutes...

Recons are not solo pwnmobiles.
They are group pwnmobiles. 
Thier dps is nothing to right home about. Like at all. However thier ability to completely neutralize targets after decloaking on top of them or warping in is simply unrivaled. Oh yes, they are extremely hard to jam as well.
Fun ships, expensive though. In small groups they are fantastic. Not really for soloing per se. Most pilots run screaming in terror as soon as they see a recon.

Just formed a pvp corp that has/or will have 2moz access to 2 of each race and in the mimnita i will be able to do 25% more damage per hit so this should be exciting

And the falcon would be better due to it been able to fly cloaked, instead of just cloaking on the spot

you should try with 1-2 different recons and a battlecruiser for dmg and a frig for tackling.
its awesome

I think both Amarr variants could probably solo happily against anything that's not a Caldari missile boat, because all that Nossing should break the tank of anything smaller than a BS.

The Curse can happily solo. Not sure about bs,but most lesser stuff yes. Only things ive had trouble with are ishtars and cerbs.
And a diemos that lands in blaster range can be an issue. They really reley on nuking cap. A diemos on approach is ok, but if its already in range. It hurts .
They really arent designed to be solopwnmobils. I want to get a gang with 1 of each race recon going tbh. Along with a couple of hacs. That would really be awesome.
As a rough idea, my Curse drones do about 230ish dps. So not much. But whatever im shooting 99% of the time has no cap to tank anyway.

I think that the recon ships are like - none could really solo BS...amarr has a chance thou;
Amarr ones could solo (have practised against some - totally pwned my BC setup) they do very nice damage and with no cap...well you're stuck up sh*t creek w/o a wcs.
Minmatar ones could web anything from 40km or so and start tappin it mighty fine - do NOT tackle one of these without a suicide note left behind.
Caldari ones, hope you brought stabs coz you're ganna need to run, these things jam so well that yeh...theyre really nice
Gallente ones, eh....eh....uhm can you say *rap? 10.5km range for 2 points scram! you're so SCREWED! 28km for 1 point...well thats at least respectable! 5% bonus per level to damps? thats bloomin' expensive celestis! missile bonus? great...glad i trained gallente just to use missiles  i mean wtf...were they drunk when they decided to think of the stats for this thing?? its the biggest hunk of junk....and makes quite an expensive tackler 
** I needed to have a little rant/whatever you wanna call it about the gallente one... *sighs*

Is the Target Painter bug fixed now?
I don't dare testing just another of the 'fixed' features.
So far I am at:
patchnotes 0 <--> EVE reality 9

Well I fly the Amarr and Caldari recons. I love them. They are not well suited as a solo ship but when put in a small gang they rock. The cloaking ones are light on the damage but there is something to be said for surprise.
I love the feeling of sneaking up on a happy npcing bs in my pilgrim. Decloak within 5-6k and hit them with 4 points of scramble, Tracking disrupters, web, and just nuke their cap instantly. Unleash the drones on their drones and listen to them beg for mercy in local while the npc's kill them...mwhahaha
The caldari ones are increadable jammers. They can jam almost any frigate or cruiser practically 100% of the time. Fly them in a small gang of HAC's and they are the ultimate jamming support ship.

I fly the Pilgrim and Curse, both are now legaly my children, i adopted them through the law and everything i love them so much.
Solo killed a Tempest the other day in my Pilgrim (ok not quite soloed but the inty i had with me was in and out cause he kept warping in and out) Just sucked him dry and let my drones kill firstly his drones, and then him, albeit rather slowly :|

amarr ones 'can' solo.
and i've extensively tested my curse against a zealot and a demios (both obviously in full gank fitting)
with the zealot, as long as you can last 20 odd seconds then he'll be dry and ready for the kill.
as for the demios  woefully incapable of doing anything. even starting at 2km, he runs dry of cap wwithin 10-12 secs, along witht the tracking disrupters, he couldnt hit me that well.
also in theory as long as you can get under 5km of a turret BS ( not including domi or mblasterthron) then you can happily nos away and tracking disrupt and let your drones do the talking, although you have to be adept at using your neuts and nos properly, leaving the neuts on will kill your cap aswell etc#
Stupid ISD you messed up my sig. i'd already changed it to the right size. Leave it alone ffs
