Well, they don't *have* to be utlity highs.
Their ROF bonuses cancel out, so those 6 turrets are effectively 7.5 turrets to the Mael's 8 turrets.
Now throw on 2 launchers, do those 2 launchers equal the missing "half turret"?
I'm guessing not, because
*no ship bonus for those launchers, that 0.5 turret gets 1.0/.75x the DPS, to be 2/3* of an "unbonused turret"
Then you factor in the gyros (and it pretty much always makes sense to add another gyro, than to mix ballstic units and gyros), and I suspect it is going to come out very close.
Note earlier an analysis basically said the Mael has 10.67 effective turrets, whereas the Temp has 10, the differenct being 0.67, ie 2/3 of a turret.
Is that 2/3 of a turret, boosted by gryos, better than 2 launchers, for PvE?
I suspect given the extra low, if DPS is all you are looking for, the Tempest can be fit to out do a mael
-until one factors in drones
With 100 units worth of drone space/control the Mael can put out 3 heavies and 2 mediums (for maximum drone DPS - and a small 5m3 drone stays in the bay)
The tempest, with 75, only can put out 2 heavies, 2 mediums, and a light
As a medium does 2x the damage of a light, and a heavy nearly 2x the damage of a medium, this means the maels drone DPS is essentially 1 medium + 1 light drone more than a Temp, against big slow targets at least.
So then its 2/3 of a turret, boosted by gryos + 1 medium + 1 light drone + better tank, vs 2 launchers + extra low |

Until the tier 3 BC came out, the Tempest was the best battlecruiser in the game. (may still be depending on your points of view)
Plus, tempest is infinitely more sexy.

They meant battlecruiser. Compare its stats to a shield cane for pvp. |

No, is aiming on the legendary fact that even if there is a only a 1 in 10 chance to miss, you still do miss in the wrong moment if you just use on dice. More dices mean less extreme results. Single critical will mater less and single miss will mater less too.
The more dices, the more homogeneous results you get. Though in eve is is imho not very important, unlike in w40k. |
