so when your going to increase howitzers tracking?
and who the **** wanted tachs to be even better?
I wanted tachs to be better. Tachs have less range than 1400mm howwies and especially 425mm railguns, Tachs require 2 RCU (both apoc and arma) vs 0 fitting mods for railthron and 1 PDU (or 0 for a cardboard setup) for artillery tempest. Tachs undisputably have the worst damage type in this 1600mm plate world, oh, and yeah Tachs deplete your cap so fast you'll stop firing halfway through any significant fights.

With increased dmg on Tachs i suspect 1400's to have the lowest dmg output between the biggest range guns, unless we are talking a fight that lasts 7 sec.
This while having the worst tracking of them all.
Did you know that 1400mm arties actually outdamage 800mm autocannons for the first 30 secs? Burst damage is so much more than just a good alpha strike. Oh, and 1400mm artilleries allways had worst theory dps of the long range guns, if you compare 6 1400mm's to 7 425mm rails or any combination of arma/apoc tach/beams.
Whats's imbalanced are railthrons. Max range, max tanking since you don't have to waste 1-2 low slots on fitting thingys.

Oh, really ? May be lets count ? I`m pretty sure, that if we`ll take resists into account - dmg output on tachs will be waaaay more than on 1400.
I would paste some killmails of energized nano tanked dreads, but I guess it would be sufficient to tell you that t2 arty tempests were on top of it and t2 tachyon / beam platforms weren't.

TBH, it was just meant to illustrate my point that 1400mm howwies have better overall damage on armor. Now you also add things like better burst damage and way greater falloff + less cap use, you will see that 1400mm's and tachyons are pretty balanced even with the new changes.
I have both minmatar and amarr bs lvl5 plus all proj and laser specialization skills on my main, and I don't at all consider 1 vastly superior to the other. If anything I'd wish I had skilled for max gallente skills instead as dominix + railthron are so imba :/
