So let's review: You're wrong about the blasters having more DPS. You're wrong about the blasters having more range (optimal specifically). And you're wrong about the blasters having more tracking.
Just a question from a bystander, did you factor in average armor resistance on targets when looking at dps? I'm asking since on my armor tankers, em tends to be highest resist.
Half my shield tankers have em as highest resist too, but thats because I'm minmatar.
Generally, if you're shooting at me, you're way better off with kin/therm than em/therm.

I haven't read the whole thread, but if your talking about max dps, the typhoon more than out ganks a megathron, and thats before armor/shield **** damage type.
They were comparing Neutron IIs vs. Megapulse IIs.

That doesn't sound so bad, right? I mean, a 66% chance to hit at 10km!! Well, the problem then comes down to webs. They're not powerful enough to stop ships and keep them at that magical range.
Exactly. Factor in scramblers that turn off your mwd and tracking disrupts that cut down your sweet spot dramatically (even if its only 1 mod!) and you're in deep trouble with a blasterboat.
Edit: having fooled around a bit the interesting thing is support cruisers like the scythe can keep up with a mwd-ing BS if fitting AB, but since survivability is not great that'll be not worth much in general.

In numbers:

Interesting fact is, that the weapons are balanced out against each other at 5km going 100m/sec, short behind webrange (10km) with AB-speed (200m/sec) and at their optimal+falloff ranges (normal speed, without AB).
The discrepancy lies in the comparison at their respective weapons optimal range at normal speed or AB-speed and this is actually, what CCP should balance out!
Hmm, looking at those numbers AC tracking needs a boost  And I was just thinking Minnie didnt get the short stick for once
