Um, I broke both their tanks (not at the same time) in a blaster Harpy once, this is one of the easiest missions at Lvl4. You using the right damage types? Or possibly using sentries when they're out of range?

Realy weird, i am using 6-7 heavy missile lanchers and 5 light drones and i dont have problem to kill those ships at all, you should have much more DPS then me.
I was prety surprised yesterday when my dones poped BS, I was fighting other BSs and forgot about drones when sudently other BS pop and my drones was on way from wreck 
Those BS was prety easy though.

Was using 5 kinetic heavys. it was really wierd, they broke the tank of the 2nd battleship but the first one they were beating on for a good 5 minutes before i Abed up to him and had to switch to AM.
The 2nd one they broke in seconds i was really really confused

Could be lag? Or were the drones elsewhere? I assume you are using the Domi?
Your main problem is the level of skills. Get to BS IV quickly. I would go BS III, Heavy III, BS IV, then Heavy IV.
Duo of Death is one of my favourite missions b/c it is quick to do (with proper skills of course). I usually have 3-4 350mm rails on my Domi to assist my Wasps/Ogres to knock out the Ravens/Megas. I don't even bother with the spiders until the turrets (use sentries on them) then rats are dead.
Don't forget to loot all the structures also (:

Edit: The second drone link auggie is useless in this mission. In fact, the ships tend to keep within 10-40 km (depending on which rats you are fighting). So if your scout drone skill is lvl 4, which will give you a 40 km control range, then you can drop both the auggies and load an extra gun or two (or use a Nos to gain what little energy you may be able to siphon).
Thanks for the help :D. Ya ill have to get those skills up
Ya i was using the domi.
The drone link augs are there because i use the sentries to pop frigs out at 70km etc. Normally the setup should have some nos but i went with guns to break tanks.
NOTE: im pretty much following the how to domis in level 4's post just down the thread.

Want the ez button for the Domi, if you like sentries and have the patience? (Someone hinted at this in the thread by SR.)
Two augmentors + 1 sensor booster + omindirectional tracking link = dead rat carcasses starting from 90 km or so inward. Cruisers and frigates can't touch you before the 50 or 40 km radius, and they are usually destroyed by your sentries and guns well before then (:

Awsome. Ya i just use the sentries to pop every frig/cruiser i can before they hit 40 km and i pop out the heavys to finish everything off.
One question though in large aggro missions, like my first lvl 4 ever today, The assault. They were breaking my tank till i decided to kill the battleship spamming torps.
Is it always better to take out battleships before cruisers on those massive aggro situations?

If there are alot of cruisers and BCs, kill those first. They spam either light missiles and heavy missiles (well at least the guristas do). They go down fast, so you can eat yourself through the tanks of the BSs

Agreed. In most missions, you typically eliminate the smallest ships first b/c of their aggregate damage tend to be greater than those of battleships. Besides, they are easier to kill but more important, they can tackle. There are some missions in which I just let the frigates tackle me as much as they want b/c I am happily nailing the incoming cruisers and bigger ships with my little warden friends and guns. Battleships do large damage PER hit, but their RoF can be pretty slow (excluding Zor) and at long distances, do not hit as frequently as heavy and standard missiles.
The Assault is another easy mission if you snipe BUT you gotta have good skills again (: It may get boring not to be front and center, face-to-face pounding the enemy with blasters, but it saves me a lot of trouble of having to worry about tanking. Another downside though is the run to the gate is a bit far in most cases /:

This sounds wierd perhaps, but I do Duo of Death level 4 with 2 heavy NOS and 4 large lasers (dual heavy beams). Reason? Simple, really. The structures are worth killing, but in anything that uses ammo they use a stupid amount of it.
The lasers also help with killing the BS, but if your cap starts dropping turn off some of the guns. I can run 4 dual beams + repper + hardeners forever, but my cap skills are maxed.

Really: NEVER EVER use those dual250mm again. omg o_0.
Those weapons are in the game only "on paper", they have no real purpose or use.
Fit at least 6,7,8 x 350mm (depending on which ship), maybe 425mm
And if you really wanna do level4 missions for some time, train raven.
The time it needs to train Gallente BS IV and Heavy Drones IV alone is more than sufficent to get all raven skills high enough to do level4 missions twice as good.

The time required to achieve BS IV is the same for all races, as are Cruiser IV and Heavy Drone IV skills.
Sure the raven is king of PvE, but seeing that he has a substantial amount of time vested into the Gallente line, I think he should continue and get to a point where he can do most of Lvl 4s comfortably before switching over.

Every now and again from time to time drones get stuck in some quarky mode where they do almoast no damage. I dont know what causes this, maybee they get stuck in MWD mode or something. At any rate if you see you drones doing signifigantly less damage then you know they should be recall them and tell them to attack once they start heading back.

Depend on your ship, in time i can kill 1 BS in drake, i coud probably pop 15+ frigs and cruisers.

This is one of the fastest missions in the game.
I don't even refit for it.
Warp in
F1-F7 on first BS
F1-F7 on second BS
Warp out
Then again, things are much easier with a CNR and 4 BCU II's in the lows
