Your FC should call a primary and a secondary. Fire your cruise at the secondary. As soon as the primary is dead, FC should call a new secondary; switch to firing at him.
Or: ignore primary, and shoot the crap out of enemy EW ships with your incredibly long range (I have Missile Projection & Bombardment 5, Caldari BS 4, and my cruise reach out to insanely long ranges, something like 230Km with no reduction in damage whatsover. Easily enough to kill/drive off those annoying Blackbirds. You can also hit/drive away their snipers.
Or: ignore primary and use your torps to shoot in the face any heavy ship unwise enough to get within 30Km of you. Laugh maniacally as the blaster mega gets tackled by your support and has to eat 1000DPS+ while you're still 10Km outside his blaster range. Rejoice as, even with 3 BCS and a sensor booster, you still enjoy a 7-slot tank that you can use all of your cap to sustain (unless you feel like hitting him with a heavy neutraliser as well, just for lulz).
Yes, Caldari ships are poor if you try and fly them like the more adaptable minmatar/gallante ships. If you can be in a gang where people have specialised roles and can be trusted to carry them out, then they're highly effective.
Those are not very realistic suggestions. Shooting the secondary just to get on the killmail is a worthless role for a BS. In fleet engagements with 30+ sniping BS, the Primary is aplha'ed. That is the main reason missiles are not used. By the time they reach the target ..its already gone.
Shooting a blaster mega inside 30km is not likely to happen for you in a large fleet, as most FC's ask for sniping BS. One reason for this is that if you can snipe at around 170km, then you pretty much negate the damage from any T1 fitted BS. So it gives you an advantage when T2 fitted. If there was some fool who brought a blaster mega, and hung around inside a bubble with the fast support...then yes he would deserver to die to your torp raven.
Close range BS fights are more normally remote repping, with huge soak tanks. Again, something the raven is not very good at
