Hey all, I have been searching the forums for threads that detail how the missiles nerf, erm I mean rebalance works, but cant seem to find the info I am after.
From my understanding, larger missiles should be almost useless against a significantly smaller ship class? However from my testing on Sisi, I think I misunderstood. As an example, can Ceptors no longer speed tank a Drake's heavy missiles if the Drake pilot has good skills? I tried this and orbitting a Drake at 20km doing around 4000m/s I was still taking between 80 and 200 damage per volley of CN missiles he fired at me. Is that right?
I also noticed a similar thing whereby Torps were hitting my Recon for around 600 per volley. Obvioulsy with no MWD running on the Recon. Now I know this is not a huge amount of damage, but I just thought I'd check.
Is there a definitive formula anywhere about sig radius/explosion velocity etc that will allow you to work out if your setup is decent against various types of missile?
Thanks in advance.

Most ceptors can no longer avoid heavy missiles with speed, but they hit for less damage when they do hit because of sig radius and explosion radius changes.
Torps are best against battleships, but it will take a battleship running with its MWD for them to hit for full damage. General idea is to use cruise size missiles against cruise hull ships, etc.

"between 80 and 200"?????? interesting my missiles have "constant" dmg to ships with constant speed
btw:skill interceptors lvl 4+(important for inties) and speed 4500+ and HMLs are not problem for you....

Ah, I was reading back the combat logs and it seems the difference in damage is when the shields went and armor took over :)
At least I know that decent ceptor skills against an avergage Drake pilot may still be viable.
How about Torps hitting and orbitting Recon, is that still to be expected?
Thanks for the replies guys.

Damage from missiles hitting an undersized ship will vary hugely depending on pilot skills, speed, manoeuvring, degree of supporting tackle/ewar and resists. Can you be more specific?

How much would they hit you for if you switched out your MWD with an AB and lost the signature penalty for MWD?
