Can i ask what is the difference apart from a bit of range between a light missile gila and a heavy missile fit gila? i was told by a player that i should fit my gila with heavy missiles so i tried this and apart from a bit more range i was actually better off using rapid light launchers.
Been a fairly casual player am i missing something obvious or not..................

Hmls are absolutely horrible and almost unuseable. Hence rlmls or even rlmls being better in most cases.

It depends on how you're using them. Against cruisers and anything smaller RLMLs will give superior results (typically L3s). Against anything larger than cruisers and HMLs will generally yield better results (L4s). The advantage with RLMLs is that they deal a lot of damage up front and don't need any modules to apply damage well.

try them on test server and see what you prefer. For PVE I prefer anything that reloads quicker that rapids. |

How about some examples ??
HML have poor application for a cruiser weapon. (46% DPS vs a 100 sig going 363m/s (AKA stabber with no fittings)
HML have poor DPS even without application issues. (1 HML with no ship bonus and faction ammo gets 26.3 DPS, a Beam laser/railgun get 45.5 and 42.1 respectively with faction short range ammo)
RLML get 100% application to the same stabber
RLML get 21.6 DPS, almost the same as the HML
RLML are easy to fit
RLML have a higher upfront DPS (30.4 vs 27.1 without reloads) which is good for PVP
**All of these numbers are factoring reloads.**

I say face-tank them with rocket launchers just because.

Depends what your doing, what your mostly shooting at, and how far away things are mostly spawning.
Light missiles are good for frigate heavy content that is rarely more than 40km away
Heavy missiles are good for mostly battleship heavy content that is mostly more than 50km away
Missions will vary
- Level 3's: Lights will be better
- Level 4's: Either works well
WH's
C1-3's: Don't know, never done them.
C4's: Heavies, you need the extra range they have over lights
C5's: Heavies, lots of BS's so application isn't an issue.
The main difference between them is
Lights kill frigates quickly, and BS's slowly.
Heavies reverses the above.

Why?
If you would have taken the time to read my guide here on the front page, you would have looked at the "traits" tab on the Gila.
It states:
Missile damage bonus for ALL missile launchers.
ALL includes rockets.

Rapid light missile launchers are generally the way to go for most missions, as missile damage is really secondary to drone damage and the Gila now has one less low slot to play around with.
