Drake is the common response, but any tier2 BC can do lvl 3s fine. In your case, that's the Hurricane. However, the fitting will differ depending on the type of tank you prefer (Canes can armor tank or shield tank just fine). "Which one do you prefer to do?" is the bigger question. |

That's a misconception I noticed being thrown a whole lot. Due to the higher thermal damage "packet" on PP, the damage difference between the 2 is negligible, at best, specially in an Artillery fit.
I just looked up the stats on M PP and M EMP. They both deal 24 damage total per round, divided between all the damage types. EMP does 18/2/0/4 damage, PP does 0/20/4/0 damage. So EMP does 18 damage to the primary resist hole and 2 damage to the secondary hole while PP does 20 damage to the secondary hole.
It seems like EMP would still come out ahead. I agree that it might not be as much better than PP as it is Fusion, but EMP still seems best for rats with an EM hole. |

IIRC, EMP is better but not by as much as you might think. Its one of the reasons Minmatar "damage type selection" is so widely overrated as compared to Caldari missiles.

Is there a data dump in a decent format floating around somewhere? This sounds like a job for a quick python script if I can get my hands on some data I don't have to parse by hand. |

In general, yes. However, the Cane (like some other Minmatar ships) can actually shield or armor tank quite well, it's one of the few ships who can truly shine with either type of tank.
Shield tanking would probably be best for your situation though, since you indicated a preference towards passive tanking and shield tanking lets you devote more lowslots to damage. (see Ayeshah Volfield's fit) |
