Against a standard BS (400m signature radius) it's a 0.6% damage increase due to the increased explosion radius. Only against tier 3 bs are this really a damage increase.
This really bothers me. If you're not using a painter it's a straight up nerf. 0.6% damage increase isn't worth the lost range.
And if you are using one or two, well your damage increases but then where's your tank?
Short range turret boats need webs but most of them armor tank and have no problem fitting one. It is also a far more useful module than a painter.
Even for those that shield tank it's not a big issue, webbing is something that they can reasonably leave to gangmates. Gangmates could use painters as well to help the Ravens, or they could fit something that actually helps the whole gang (ie: damps).
End result is I won't be using the new torp Raven. I won't run it with painters due to lack of tank at a range where other high damage ships, that have tanks, operate.
I won't use it without painters because damage will be lacking at said new range.
I won't expect my gangmates to carry painters because **** it, I might as well fly a Mega instead.

Same for any turret ship shooting a non-webbed target at comparable ranges. It finally gives the huginn and rapier their dual role back.

In principle I think it's great painters are becomming more useful. It's the way it's being done I disagree with.
Ravens will be short range ships that need painters to put out similar dps to other short range ships. Great, I'm just going to use a short range turret ship instead and do without the painter part.

I am overjoyed they brought fown the explosion radius on t1 torps. It seems just about right now.
