LOL just outed yourself as a moron. I rest my case.

Ship A has 0.60
Ship B has 0.03

Which one has better tracking?

Depends on the sig resolution of the respective guns.

Do you want me to explain the tracking formula for you?

AHAHAHA no. Ship A has the better tracking. I rest my case.

No, because it still depends on the sig resolution of the respective guns. On those two numbers alone, the question cannot be answered.

Again, do you want me to explain the tracking formula for you?

No, I actually expected Tippia to make that comment when discussing tracking. I assure you, however, that the Talos has no trouble killing frigates.

Ed: It could probably be held down by a 10km/s Ares at 50km. Just as anything else. :P

You are fighting too much against noobs, this is why you feel so pro.
You know, noobs don-¦t really know how tracking works. This is why they are happily turning on their mwd to get all that shiny speed. However, with that signature bloom they are getting the signature of a BC (for frigates, with cruisers this is far worse), which is -as was already mentioned- too much against large guns. An AB frigate or cruiser would kick your ass.

mwd is for pve, in pvp you use afterburners.

Do it, and then explain some ways in which a ship might mitigate having 400/125 worse tracking. :)

Wow this guy's a bonehead.

Sure, but that's not what he's saying, now is it?

He's simply comparing tracking speeds, which only tells half of the story.
GǪwho, unlike you, understands how tracking works. Do you want me to explain it to you? Or would you like to tone your attitude down a notch so you don't look like the complete idiot you are when someone else asks and I demonstrate why your numbers show the exact opposite of what your ignorant ass think they do?

The game has changed bub

The tracking formula hasn't, and it still makes that Zealot track 2.7+ù better than the Talos. Do you want me to explain to you why?

No, but you could explain why theoretical knowledge is better than practical knowledge?

It isn't, but that doesn't particularly matter. The problem is that this poor fellow is making incorrect claims due to his ignorance of the mechanic, and thinking himself greatly informed for doing so.

I don't particularly care for being called a bonehead for understanding something he has undeniably no clue about.

You know full well that his comparison is entirely inaccurate. You also know that I know how to mitigate for his error. It's a rather pointless distraction from the simple fact that he doesn't understand how tracking works and why his comparison fails.

Ok well I think we can both agree that *I* know how the math behind eve works, at least reasonably well. And *I* am telling you that the practical application is a bit closer to his assertions than yours.

What I'm trying to point out is that both of you are making exactly the same argument from different perspectives.

Mad cuz you bad

This whole time you have assumed I do not know about signature radius and resolution

GǪbecause you demonstrated that you quite obviously don't, otherwise you wouldn't have made such an utterly moronic claim as saying the Zealot tracked worse than the Talos; calling me a moron when I corrected you; and Gǣresting [your] caseGǥ when I told you that it couldn't be determined by tracking numbers alone.

It's not an assumption when you so willingly demonstrate your ignorance as a fact.

By the way, in your example, ship B has the better tracking. Do you know why? Or do you want me to tell you how tracking works?

You're wrong. Those stats don't matter unless you're trying to track tiny ships 100% of the time.

Given a signature radius of a normal sized ship, the Talos tracks better..
