Actually, a short question,
Whats the chance of a shipw with 170 strengh gettting jammed by a falcon with max skills using a racial?
(i have an anti-falcon setup that needs tweaking)

14.67758 / 170 * 100% = 8.63% chance
For an average BS with one active ECCM and say 49 sensor strength as a result, the chance would be 29.95%.
Cheers bud,
I have a nice Rokh fitting with max damage 170 sensor strengh & multiple warp in points to really ruin any falcons day (250km fighting range 4tw)
Most falcon ppl operate @ around 150 (high STR) or 200 (range rigs)

Ohh and my own falcon to operate 100km behind my sniper (ergo out of range of there falcons & in range to jamm any tacklers)
Takes some planning, but it isnt that diffiucult to be falcon immune.

People often assume that every ECM pilot in the game will always take a falcon into battle. If there's a reasonable chance of their being more targets than I can jam I don't bring a falcon, I'll bring a scorpion (if I think that there's much chance of survival) or a blackbird (if I think it's a deathtrap). My falcon is more than 100 million uninsured isk - I didn't train Eve Grinding skills to V like everyone else AND I detest doing it so I prefer to keep my isk sink as safe as it can be. While the falcon is slightly more immune to hate and discontent that my trusty blackbird, a volley or two from even the Rokh (which has laughable alpha) is all the motivation I need to run away from a fight.
Hell I think that an Apoc using tachys could almost instantly WTFBBQ my falcon.
Falcon's are dangerous in small gang situations. As battles get larger it becomes increasingly less useful, much the same as other ships (Nano HACS as an example)
Very true, but the main use of the falcon is its range i find, not to mention the ability to cloak then warp back to another postion cloaked.
But i agree in large fleet sniper fights its like paper and dies horribly, but most happen between 150-180km due to the ranges & the tracking computer nerf.
In mid scale fights the scorpian is just one big fat primary that will be in the range of any sniper ship, but the falcon wil only be in the range of the heavy duty long range snipers (ergo easy jamming targets).
In smaller gangs or lowsec everybody and there dog is shortranged, making falcons insanly powerfull and something i have to fight/counter every single damm day in 3/4 at a time lol.
My main purpose is to be in the falcons falloff, and be able to get off a couple of vollys and cause them to constantly warp out.
