I blew through a Level 4 with a Drake a little earlier. Honestly I think heavy missiles are even more effective against BC's and BS's than they used to be. Light drones seem to be doing more damage too although maybe that's my imagination.
The missiles definitely do less damage against small targets though, and the smaller targets seemed to be hitting me pretty hard for their size. But it seems like a fair trade. I don't use BS-sized missiles though except for Bombers and I haven't tested those yet.

MWD increased the damage of larger missiles against you before in theory. The only reason you didn't take more damage in practice was because your velocity offset the explosion. If you had a MWD activated and if the missile caught you in the middle of a course change, you were going to take a major hit. So that hasn't really changed. It's just that a lower maximum velocity makes these harder hits more likely.

Wanna kill a missle laden battleship, just get 4 or 5 assault frigs with after burners and you can speed tank cruise and torps. I have wicked missle skills and we tested it. I could not kill the AF. cruise hitting for 11 and torps for 7. I'm just not sure how this makes sense. like saying a REAL battleship would not be able to sink a small destroyer or frigate. sheesh. well it was bound to happen I guess. Every mmorpg I've played turned into making the game easier for new players and the carebear players, which is about the time I moved on. I didn't complain when they nerfed NOS, made sense. And now it's nearly impossible for a battleship to kill a frigate ! like saying you can't squish a bug with your boot because you're SO much bigger than it, and it has a small sig radius.
ugh... and yes I have PLENTY of cheese to go with this whine.
Yeah but a real battleship shooting at a real destroyer is shooting at something that is not only closer to its own size than an Eve AF is to a BS, but also something that is moving much closer to its own speed.
Of course a real destroyer may also be packing weaponry capable of doing massive damage to a battleship. Armor-busting guided missiles, for instance. No shields IRL.
But in before "no comparisons with RL ships plx"
