Um.... I am actually a bit angered by the fact that i lost an enyo kill today because my Heavy drones refused to hit the very webbed ship.
They hit on approach, but for what felt like forever, propably more like 3 minutes, I tanked the sentries while my pathetic drones orbitted the helpless enyo.
Long story short, at 52ms he finaly made it to the gate and jumped. Im sure he was laughing at me. 
Shouldnt drones, yes EVEN heavies, hit if the target is sitting "still"??
Just out of curiosity.... what level is your drone sharpshooting at ? And are you positive they were missing, and the enyo wasnt simply tanking them ? Which type of drones were they ?
Because if you were shooting an enyo with wasps or ogres, chances are they WERE hitting, and you just didnt have enough damage to break the enyos tank because you were hitting his resists. Even if you were using berserkers, he could easily have had an explosive hardener on to plug his resist hole.
The enyo is a ver hardy little ship if set up for it (as long as its not nossed). In a big 3 way furball a couple weeks ago, I was in my enyo and tanked a raven and about 5 t1 frigates long enough for my gang mates to kill them all (we were all in frigates/ceptors/AFs). They simply couldnt do enough damage to break the tank, and the only reason they finally started to was that one of them got a clue and put a couple NOS on me. By then it was too late though as most of their frigates were dead and the raven followed not long behind.

Yes, drones are broken. They orbit too fast for their own tracking.
Amen brother!  Thats what I was trying to say, but it is getting late here, and my brain isnt working at 100%
Easy solution to that is to recall them to your ship, and then send them back again when they get halfway there. Then rinse and repeat once they start missing or hitting for less again.
