I can fly Caldari and Amar T2's and the Tengu.
I haven't flown a lot of cruisers in a long time. The Sacrilege looks a lot more fun now but it looks like I would have to speed tank it. But whatever I get needs a good prop mod for faster times anway. Or is Tengu the best bet?
I would consider Gila but it looks like it only gets a medium drone bonus.
Someone said machariel, but are BS's disallowed in some level 3's?

The Gila's medium drone bonus is something special.... like alligators on crack special. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. Thing is a monster that can pack over 700 dps and tank almost as well as a BS... all the while moving speedy.

The gila is a great boat however, when talking about blitzing you want to apply your DPS to only that which is necessary and GTFO, in quite a few missions the targets are a considerable distance away, with a rail boat I can kill most if not all of that which needs to be killed before your drones even reach their first target. We are admittedly talking about seconds here, but when you are grinding level 3s for whatever reason you really want to do it as quickly as possible and the seconds add up to minutes and eventually hours.

someone had a pretty good rail tengu. Not sure if I copy/pasted this or just made it on my own. although max dps, warp speed, and projection doesn't leave much to the imagination.
warp in, blap, warp out. ceptor warp speeds, up to 13 au/s with ascendency implants. last time I blitzed 3s it was in an ishtar with just a medium rep for tank, so I wouldn't be too worried about that, although can pretty easily drop a mid for a hardener. Although not sure how well it deals with elite frigs that get under the guns. might want a mobile depot and some webs.

+1. i laugh when people dismiss those "medium drones" not understanding that the Gila's bonuses turn those things into npc Battleship chewing monsters.
And they are tough. My 'Afk mission' Gila uses Faction drones (they are extra tanky) and those little used drone rigs that increase tank (FoF missiles for giggles also). I've used them to "DRONE TANK" missions like Buzzkill and the Blockade, it's almost unbalanced  |

Mine is simlar, except I used 3 faction Gyrostabs and a nanofiber, and a Target Painter instead of a Sebo. For elite frigs I just turn on the MWD and set orbit to like 30 on them, they break orbit and I paint and blap them. Rarely happens though, most lvl 3s the rats are not even close to you on warp in.

at range I'm very certain about the ability to destroy frigs, more wondering about what happens if they get a web and a point. then again from my memory in lv3s points are very rare. I also don't really remember spawn distances as I haven't done 3s in forever, and last time I did was in an ishtar which does very well vs frigs with bonused drones.

I want to try a zealot for them eventually, comes into my "oh balls I missed stuff" training plan. Don't care if it's effective really, just want to try it, rail deimos was fun for grinding standings for about 3 mins but meh, grinding.
Will try an armor pulsemare in a few weeks too for giggles. Need to wait for a weekday off work when I have time and energy. Won't be better than a mach cause of the warp speed but might be fun for a few mins and it's only a few hundred mil. |

That's my fit, except I went over the top for max dps and used 4 Fed. MFSs.
If the op would have looked, he would have found a couple of posts on this topic already. I will not recap it all.
Many ships can do L3s fast, some can do them very fast.
But blitzing the mission, which means just doing what is necessary to complete a mission, is not the same as BLITZING THE MISSION.
"Warp in, blap, warp out", just as Chainsaw said. (The timer is running.)
Above Tengu hits 9.32 warp speed without ascendency implants.
Above Tengu also beat Stoic's Mack in just about all the missions he posted in his spread sheet. (17/20? don't remember exactly).

I relocated to a new place when I started my "Tengu vs Mach" blitzing. There I had a choice of 3 agents that gave out L3 missions. I am still there now, where my alt runs the missions. Several missions can be done in just a short amount of time.
I have become hooked on BLITZING L3s, and can't see going back to the "old" way.

Hey.
I asked a similar question in another thread and was pointed here.
Despite having a great combat pilot he is unable to fly T3's.
Can I ask peoples opinions on how a T3 BC with the large guns would fare?
My other combat pilot can fly and use the Minnie or the Amaar versions and I was thinking about just pulling range and hitting from miles out with a strong DPS, thus nullifying the weakness that is the poor tracking.
I haven't run L3 missions for ..... well..... I simply can not remember ever running them. I'm trying to grind station standings and am not interested in loot. I just wanna get in and get out.
I'm not that bothered about warping time if that makes a difference.
Regards

There are too many small ships for an attack BC to be useful as tracking becomes an issue, a combat BC would be better, HACs work OK as well if you can't do T3.

Only want to run them for a single corporation. Having LP all over the place is a PITA.
Gonna go with the Tengu as it seems to be the best bang for the buck. Im working on large hybrid 5 for Kronos now, I'll get some meta 4's and start training when I can. I ran it through PYFA and it should be fine.

Haven't tried it but Cynabal should work quite well also.
With the Cynabal is it a case of sniping from distance or going in at pace and taking down stuff?
Also..... do many of the missions require to you collect something you have killed?
I'd check myself but I've never run Amarr L3's so I'm not familiar with the mission types (that and it's been an eternity since I ran any missions).
By combat BC do you mean Drake/Harbi/Cane etc? (been out of the game for a while and not sure what has/not been reclassified).

Take a look at the GIla as well. It's a little pricy, but it has a strong passive tank and can put out over 700 DPS easily. In a level 3 your drones will drop cruisers in a volley or two, and you can take 4 rapid light missile launchers to chew up frigates. |

(been out of the game for a while and not sure what has/not been reclassified). Regards Barrak The Cynabal gets a bonus to warp speed, that is it's main strength. If you are properly blitzing missions, most of your time is spent in warp.
Generally, being able to project damage is better than higher dps when blitzing. So go with artys.
Quite a few mission require collection of an item.
Yes, Arty Cane is probably your best bet if you go that route.
Augustus Risalo wrote:Take a look at the GIla as well. Sigh, please read the thread, we have already gone over this. Gila is a great boat, but it is sub-optimal for blitzing due to drone travel time.

luckily there are a few stations with 3 agents of the same level. handy for raising standings, but not sure if there are any with good lp stores too.

Hey.
There an optimal fit for the Cyna or is it simply a case of speed, and range? .... anything with Arties?
More than happy to eft one myself (and probably will anyway) but if there is an optimal then I'll roll with that.

@Chainsaw/Ion Any reason you have the supplemental screening sub instead of the amplification node?
Would mean you could downscale from pith-C to domination/republic fleet MSB and still have the same tank, unless you need that extra 3k EHP buffer for any reason?
Just noticed the subs whilst fitting one and thought it was an odd choice on an active tank :)
but what would I know, I'm just a salvager

good call, the amplification node is probably a better choice. Probably just something I threw together quickly in eft and was more concerned with the slot layout than anything else. Last time I ran lv3s I was in a blitz ishtar, and the amount of tank needed when you can throw out that much dps over those ranges is very minimal, makes me laugh at the drake I used to run lv3s in. My old lv4 blitz tengu used to have the buffer sub and a LSE, mostly because I was a bit paranoid about getting volleyed by a tornado or two on the undock. Considering the shiny tengus that used to fly around with little to no buffer it was one of those things I was thinking about getting into myself.

Thing I'm slightly worried about is that I am not at all familiar with L3's and I can not test them at the moment as I do not have the standings.
Assuming I'm working at range and only closing when I have to collect something. Is a 31k tank with a 164boost sufficient?

-this.
___________
Originally I used the Amplification Mode sub. With it and the PIth C SB I could bet 81hp/s. EHP was at 17,606, 4563 shield capacity. More than enough for any L3 mission.
I don't remember who, but they suggested using the Supplemental Screening Sub. So I changed them. The Supplemental Screening makes EHP of 23,311, and shield capacity 7219. The shield boost dropped to 54hp/s, which is still plenty for L3s.
I liked the extra cushion, but either sub works just fine in BLITZING L3s. You aren't in the mission long enough to get hurt.
I've even though about dropping the SB and using a LSE instead, increasing the shield capacity to over 12000. (but I'll probably just leave it alone.)
Neither of these choices really effects the time spent in BLITZING, so it may just come down to a personal preference.
