The Nighthawk wouldn't be so bad either except only 1 of its 3 missle bonuses effects HAM's (Precision I can understand but why no damage bonus?), so there's not much point.
Actually, ALL of the nighthawk's missile bonuses affect HAMs.
Nighthawk HAM setup:
6 HAM II
1 Y-T8 10mn MWD
1 large shield booster II (or faction)
1 faint 20km scrambler
1 medium electrochemical cap injector
1 invulnerability field II
3 ballistic control II
2 reactor control II
2 rigs of your choice
576 DPS with rage HAMs, command ships 4, warhead upgrades 4, rapid launch 5 and HAM spec 4.
Cerb HAM setup:
5 HAM II
1 small nos
1 Y-T8 10mn MWD
1 faint 20km scrambler (I think this setup has enough to run a tech II, but I haven't tried)
2 LSE II
1 photon scattering field II
2 ballistic control II
2 reactor control II
IIRC, you can fit a third damage mod if you switch the MWD for an AB.

I agree that HAMs need more range. Personally, I'd like to see about 5-10km more range for T1 HAMs, then everything would be fine. Unfortunately, it seems they're balanced around the range they get from the cerb and other ships with a missile velocity bonus, which makes them very difficult to use on any ship that doesn't have that bonus.

Actually that is wrong. Although you do get the Kin dmg bonus, you do NOT get the precision bonus on the HAMs. Both heavy and HAM base radius is 125... I put the HAM on my nighthawk and get 100.... I put the heavy on my nighthawk and get around 80-85.
You're forgetting the guided missile precision skill. That affects heavies and not HAMs. That's the reason you're seeing a greater reduction with heavy missiles than with HAMs. The fact that the HAM radius went down at all is purely because of the nighthawk's bonus.
Don't believe me? Slap some HAMs on a caracal, then look at them. You'll notice the explosion radius at 125.
