It's not about the jamming, it's about it becoming harder to probe down and warp to, which fits with the sniper theme nicely.
The very high sensor strength and very long targeting range in sharpshooter mode will make it awfully difficult to use ECM jammers or sensor dampeners on these. I don't see any other purpose for the targeting range being that long. In fact with a base of 45%, you'd be fine with no bonus at all in sharpshooter mode. I fly a Cormorant (36km targeting range base) with 72km effective range using 125mm railguns. The new Confessor will have a smaller base range, but will more easily fit the largest frigate beam lasers while also having a lot more slots for electronics modules. This on top of a huge base targeting range, and I will be able to fit tracking computers/enhancers and ignore sensor boosters entirely.
Anyone have a computation for the effective range these will have with max skills and small beam lasers/aurora?
Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance)

I'm surprised it's less than a Cormorant. I figured with the tracking computers that you can't take advantage of on a Cormorant, the Confessor would get more range.

I figured with the tracking computers that you can't take advantage of on a Cormorant, the Confessor would get more range. Well, it's without a tracking comp. the corm DOES have a total of a 100% optimal bonus, and if I'm not mistaken, rails still have a relatively longer optimal range.
Yes but it has a targeting range so short that even a scripted t2 sensor booster isn't enough to get you into the base range of 125mm spike (not 150mm mind you) and it can't even properly fit 150mm without heavy powergrid and CPU bonuses that it doesn't have the slots for. Once you have squeezed in a 125mm fit, there's no room for even the most basic optimal range bonuses. I didn't realize the base range of small focused beam lasers is so much shorter than that of 125mm rails.
I finally downloaded EFT just to take a look (can't seem to get up to date values on the wiki) and here's what I found:
(with max skills)
Small Focused Beam Laser II: 7.5+5
125mm Railgun II: 10+9.4
150mm Railgun II: 14+11
It looks like 150mm rails have DOUBLE the base range of small focused beam lasers!
