Originally by: Felix Dzerzhinsky Every tempest pilot I know in Wr3ck is either training for an Apoc, or is in support at this point. And we are talking about pilots just as qualified and expereinced as you are with the ship. A single fight in an Apoc is usually enough to convince people.
I will not go into details - but I would be glad to talk about the reasons if you want. Come onto GODs TS.
Hehe.
Well the Apoc haven't even been near to convince me so far, and i believe it wont do that ever either.
I don't have an exact number on how many months it's since Amarr got boosted, but it doesn't take that long time to train to an Apoc and Lasers, so by now LOTS of players should have been using Apocs, but the fact is that it doesn't happen as i can see it. I simply don't see that much more Apocs now than i did before Amarr got boosted. Ok, some more i can see ofc, but that's not many.
Peoples still use the ship they like best anyways.
And like me, i don't like a ship only because it does some more DPS, have more range and have better EHP. I'll use the ship that looks cool and the ship that does the job very good at what kind of range and what kind of fleet fights we are in.
And for that, and for the tactics and the way we fight in Tri, a Tempest is really nice for me.
Ofc, in some situations an Apoc will ofc be much much better in a Sniper BS fleet. But it's the same for the Tempest to. It all depends.
Maybe you should try to have a look at others KB and not only your own. Since Amarr got the bost, i have sene less and less minnie snipers in sniper fleets. The battles ive seen lately has a majority of amarr snipers and only a few minnie snipers.
Before the amarr boost it were like 80% minmatar/gallente snipers. And only a few from other races. This has ben flipped upside down now.....
As the Goodfellas says. Most minnies that used to be in sniperpest before, are now in support ships. Me included.
Maybe you are happy about your pest. That is fine with me. But i have to react when you try to convince others that sniper pest is just fine and has no issues.
New sniper pilots should train for amarr snipers. As those are the best these days. Range owns alpha....its as simple as that.
