It doesn't, it amplifies the dps difference between the two, which varies.
Factors to consider:
-Missile specialization increase rop, not dmg modifier. At specialization lvl5, rop of T2 hml is lower than CN hml, but higher than RF hml.
-With the same t1/CN ammo, CN hml deals more dps than t2 hml.
-T2 hml with fury ammo, which faction launchers can't use, deals more paper dps than CN hml with t1/faction ammo.
-Fury ammo has almost twice the exp radius as t1/CN ammo. Reloading precision ammo takes 10 seconds.
-At max skills and with 3x rigors, CN or t2 hml takes 1 volley of CN ammo to pop kinetic elite frig rats, with CN faster due to higher rop. T2 with fury takes 5 volleys.
-At max skills, on kinetic rats, CN or t2 hml takes 2 volley of either CN or fury ammo to pop kinetic BC rat, 2 volley for cruiser rats with higher than 72k bounty. CN hml faster due to higher rop. For cruiser rats lower than 72k bounty, 1 volley CN ammo, 2 for fury.
-At max skills, on kinetic rats, T2 with fury saves 1 volley on BS rats with bounty higher than 543k, 2 volleys on BS rats with bounty higher than 1.162 mil, at lower rop.
-CN ammo cost more, although available in LP shop.
-T2 ammo cost less, although may not be available on site and need to be hauled.
-T1 ammo cost nothing, and is available just about everywhere.
-CN launchers slowly rise in price. You can sell it for slightly higher price at a later date, and use it meanwhile, unless:
-You get ganked with it.
-CN launchers will not increase your chance of being ganked, but it does increase loss when (not if) you get ganked. Tengu ganks are done blindly, without scanning. If you scan as a ganker, the tengu will be aligned and gone, or someone else will gank it first. It takes a single 1400s volley from Apoc (now Tornado) to pop an unhardened tengu. Gank first, check wreck for pimp after. Chances of pimp is good, if not, it's loss of a single gankboat, as opposed to a dozen.
Decide for yourself. |
