Well i dont mean to be insulting but, anyone still using large progectiles on a tempest is a MORON. ive switched to useing hybrids on my tempest because i can do better damage, the energy use isn't worth mentioning imo. i have a tempest, but not when the new missle skills come out, im getting in a raven. and anyone who says the low ROF of cannons is because of recoil has never heard of muzzel breaks and recoiless cannons. WHERE ARE MY 1000mm RECOILESS CANNONS? if anything the low ROF would be to keep the barrels from over heating.
P.S. why do 1400s have such a bad tracking? I think its becuase the poor gunner can only turn that traverse crank so fast. But if that 3250 MWs of power isn't for the traversing motors, it must be for the high speed recoil compensators and auto-loading mecanisms. No thats not it either the 1400 has a crappy ROF.
So why is the 1400 the second highest powergrid using turret? I know!! Its because the tempest has the second best Powergrid of all the BSs. Dang, what am I saying thats the megathron.
So whats good about a tempest?
The 4 missle launcher slots, but you can get that on a typhoon for cheaper and more CPU.
So why didn't i get rid of this tempest already, because i have 2 months left on my platinum insurance contract.
Well, I guess I must be a Moron. My 1400's, however, still hit regularly for 400-700hp. I have had my two biggest wrecking shots ever AFTER the patch, both over 1500hp. You people that sit here and whine must A) not have the skills trained up properly to use your 1400's effectivly, or B) have no understanding of what mods to fix, or C) have no idea of optimal range (and how to keep yourself in it). I LOVE my Tempest. Did I like it better before when I could tear through any frig with one shot...sure. However, there are answers for that too. Use your brain people! I would much rather have a game where you have to think a little. Tends to seperate the contenders from the pretenders I still tear through everything (including frigs and interceptors) in optimal range. You can too if you know what the hell you are doing.
