FWIW I have "blitzed" missions in a T2 cruise CNR and T2 AC Machariel. What the CNR loses in flight time the Mach loses in flying time (to get in range of things to shoot).
Overall I was better at flying the CNR than the Machariel, so my ISK/hr based on 2000 ISK/LP was around 110M for the CNR, 85M for the Machariel. My Mach pilot is having much better luck in a Rattlesnake, and I am training my CNR pilot to switch to that platform.
Flight time for missiles is less relevant than shooting the right targets, and being aligned to warp out as soon as mission objectives are completed. A significant waste of time when "blitzing" in battleships is warping. Mission in small systems with small neighbours, meaning Lanngisi is out since Barkrik consistently has 120AU warps to mission sites. Or run L3s in cruisers.
Note that flight time for cruise missiles hitting targets 80km away is less than the cycle time of large artillery. You can be firing two salvos at cruisers, select the next target, and have another salvo in flight before an artillery turret has a second salvo off.
The most significant improvement in ISK/hr comes from keeping a whitelist of missions which are worth more than 100M ISK/hr, a grey list of missions you can run when you do not want to decline any more, and then deciding missions which are not going to be profitable. This strategy alone can boost your income by a factor of two, since you skip junk missions like "Duo of Death" and "XYZ Spies" which chew up valuable time warping back and forth.
The difference in mission time between applying 1400 effective dps with missiles versus turrets is negligible as long as you count salvos, know how many are required for each target, and get to the next gate or align to warp out so you can leave each room as soon as objectives are met. Using autocannons will ruin your completion times since you have to get close to targets to shoot them. A MWD battleship always travels slower than cruise missiles.

The only thing I will add is that most of these ISK/hour numbers are running SoE missions in ideal systems. Run-of-the-mill Empire agents are going to yield probably 1/3-1/2 less ISK/hour because the LP/ISK conversion rate is nowhere near as lucrative. If you're going to blitz, combine it with Burner missions and you can potentially make upwards of 200m ISK/hour.

The Barghest is fairly decent for blitzing L3s (albeit more expensive than some of the other options suggested).

I've done extensive testing and the answer to your original question is.. it depends :)
But yes, currently I user a RHML Barghest to blitz most lv4 blitzable missions. It's on average just as effective as a blitzing Machariel (but easier to use). That said I use an arty Mach for Scarlet and I use a Polarised AC Vargur for Angels Pirate Assault.
In fact I have 3 BS, 3 Cruisers and 7 Frigates that I use to blitz with depending on the mission.

That said if that's what you've got skills for and lacks skills for Mach/Barghest then by all means.

Orthrus with rapid lights will do in most L3s. |

Are the fittings in your guide still up to date? You've inspired me to try and blitz missions. |
