I've been hearing mixed opinions, but is it really necessary to have tech II artillary cannons on a tempest just starting out? Otherwise it's another 114 days of training time on top of 2 months for the required skills and level IV of the secondary skills for me.

Nope back in the day I used t1 1400mm's just fine. However t2 are just soo much better, if you're serious about the med-long range tempest, go t2.

Currently the T1 artys are so poor they are nigh on useless for PvP.
(Yes I'm sure there are those of you out there who are going to say that with your 5 mil in gunnery and your 7 T2 gyros etc they are fine, but really, IDFC)

It's not just artillery - with T2 ammo you are virtually useless in fleet combat unless you have T2 guns and T2 ammo loaded (or the ability to do so). For PVE, just use what you like :)

pve whise proablly not that much needed, iam not a 100% sure, but pve whise its just a time thing, with t2 u would need less time.
PVP whise, well for me it is, eve combat these days is quiet often at 150km+ u can go there with t1 long range but u do a lousy damage, when it comes to short range quake is ur friend, emp isnt that bad either ;)
In the end u need to have t2 cause its a big difference, in damge and range, but when u r absolut new and the pest is the only bs u can fly in combat, u might wanna start with t1 just to give u a feeling for combat situations in direct damage dealer bs. Cause it makes no sense to have a t2 pest and no clue about it.
And how can it be that u need 100+ days for t2 l howis? No other t2 howi skilled so far?

Not really. A proper T1 setup can hit at 160km+ and T2 is getting nerfed anyway. In a few weeks, people who need longer range in fleet battles, will train for the Rokh anyway.
Although, 1400mm T2 + Quake L sure does nice damage.

Unless your using scouts, I hardly consider Being at optimal + falloff to be effective. Sure you can hit, but a 50% miss rate sucks.
But as for quake, Yum. I love Quake. Its too bad they are nerfing it. Yes it did huge damage, but under most circumstances its not usable. But those 3k+ wreaking hits sure make you feel good.

No, T1 works just fine. Just don't fight people 3x your age, or use EW... ____ "If your not dyin' your not tryin'." "Are you prepared to go all the way, Alexi?" DuGalle |

I think they're overpowdered. Unless you're fighting Rouge Drones, then they rock.
