Use BS for lvl3 missions. YOu can use generic fitting maxing all resistanec and using only 1 repper on Dominix.
Brutix is both, more risky and slower in missions.
i have helped more that single player that wasnt able to complete harder lvl3 mission in his bruxis.
BCs can do some lvl3, may be all . but you need a lot of skills and a lot of time. caldari BC is preferable, the Brutix can get into serious problems in lvl3 Mordus Headhunters or the old Portal To War 2/5 mission.
.
despite the many players suggesting its possible to solo lvl3 in Brutix, dont be surprised if you see you Brutix exploding. especially if you have low skills and cant use a BS.
Agreed. In my case:
All missions except Mordus
Main: Megathron
Highs
7x 425mm rails
1x heavy missle launcher (named)
Mids
1 100MN AB
3 target painters (on some missions, swap one TP for webber)
Lows
LAR
DCU
4x named mag field stabilizers
1 cap relay
Depending on the mission and how much tank I expect to need, I sometimes replace one of the mag fields with a cap relay
Drones:
Depending on mission, either heavies or webifier drones, or a mix of the two.
Alt: Scythe
Highs: Small remote armor repper or nothing
Mids: 3x named tracking links. These are insane when combined with the Scythe's bonus to TL effectiveness, even though that bonus is slightly broken (3% instead of 3.5% as described in the ship description)
Lows: 3x nanofibers - I don't have midslots to spare for an AB, so these need to be speed mods instead of cap relays
I plan on training the skills for a Scimitar on the Scythe, so it can provide better tracking support and shield boosting support too. Once I have a Scythe for support, I might consider the Rokh.
With the alt running tracking links, and the main using 425s with thorium ammo, I have an optimal of 77km and insane tracking speed. I can hit frigs reasonably well at 10k and more, especially if I send webifier drones at them. The only frigs I have trouble with are "close-in" interceptors, for those missions I usually use a mix of webber drones and heavies. 350s with the TLs have an optimal of around 56 with thorium and the ability to start hitting most frigs at 6-7km.
For Mordus, I swap the alt from a Scythe to an Exequeror running two medium Arup remote reppers, and I fit a tank on my main. I switch from 425s to Dual 250s for the improved tracking. My DPS goes way down, but in terms of tankage it's a cakewalk.
