I am curious about proper Mach usage in PvE. Mainly I wonder if AB fit is better than MWD fit. Anyway what is basic autocannon Machariel's combat tactics? Is it just burning AB/MWD to reach rats as quickly as possible and then orbit targets at say 20 km with AB/MWD on and fire autocannons at them one after another? Of course webbing frigates and jammer boats must be destroyed first during approach. |

Thanks!
So at first it is necessary to destroy webbing frigates from longer range but fortunately 800 mm autocannons are good at it. Then it depends:
- flying Mach with MWD one should use MWD to quickly get close to each NPCs cluster, then stop the boat and start firing at rats.
- flying Mach with AB one should also close quickly and it is possible to orbit BC, BS rats at 20 km because of good speed/signature tank of Mach and 800 mm autocannons being able to hit rats because their tracking is still good at AB speed.
I simply think about give Mach a try because it looks to me as "strange platform": not a sniper but also not a blaster Vindicator... |

Sorry I mean 400 DPS tank with AB on. With AB off this is 700 DPS tank sustained. Well 920 DPS is from autocannons only. I do not add drone damage because you know, this is a bit risky...
Of course now I do not own Machariel. This is only my EFT play to be able to judge if I could purchase it and run some level 4 missions successfully. |

I rather considered autocannon Mach as regular L4 mission runner i.e. no blitzing but full clear.
BTW - what about arty Mach? Is it useful at all in missions? |

Well, do you still talk about mission blitzing? |
