Hey guys,

I'm thinking of training into a Wolf but no matter how much I fiddle with Pyfa and Neocom I just can't seem to come up with a fit that works. I want something that kites with arty, but I always run out of grid and CPU when I try to use 280's (both engineering and electronics are at 5, and I have weapon upgrades 4). I'm afraid my damage will be too low with 250's, but is that a legitimate concern? Here is what I've come up with most recently

Wolf: 280mm kiting

Highs:
280mm Howitzer Artillery II x4 (RF EMP S)
[Empty high slot]

Mids:
1mn Adterburner II
Warp Disruptor II

Lows:
Internal Force Field Array I
Gyrostabilizer II
Tracking enhancer II
Micro auxiliary Power Core I
Co-Processor II

Rigs:
Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I

I'm 1.6 CPU over, but I think I can alleviate that with Weapon Upgrades 5. Do you guys have an fits that you suggest? I'm kinda stuck on what to do here. I feel that I can't control range well enough with an AB Straight

Edit: I just came up with this fit which uses 250's

Highs:
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II x4
[Empty High Slot]

Mids:
Limited 1mn Microwarpdrive I
Warp Disruptor II

Lows:
Damage Control II
Gyrostabilizer II
Tracking Enhancer II
Co-Processor II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Rigs:
Small Projectile Collision Accelerator I
Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I

I've also got this Jaguar fit I came up with too, let me what you think about it

Highs:
150mm Autocannon II x3
[Empty High Slot]

Mids:
1mn Afterburner II
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Medium Shield Extender II

Lows:
Damage Control II
Gyrostabilizer II x2
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Rigs:
Small Core Defense Field Extender I x2

I'll take 2 carebears to go, with extra tears

1. advanced weapon upgrades is your friend
2. use 250s. anything you may successfully engage with a kiting wolf will not have an active tank to speak of, so dps is not the main problem.
3. the jaguar is more of a brawler. use it if you want but iirc it is more effective with autocannons and a shield buffer tank.

I should buy an Ishtar.

A kting wolf will be a PG hog to get the most out of it. If you can get a T2 Micro Aux Core, you use 4 280's and a MWD+disruptor in the mids. Fit for as much DPS and speed as you can in the lows (limited CPU at this point allows you to fit only 1 or 2 gyrostabs). a nano and 2 overdrive will get you going really fast. having a alpha over 1k with a range that easily goes to point range.

In the rigs, if you can fit for extended falloff rig and an agility rig.

NEVER EVER GET CAUGHT BY A WEB AND SCRAM IN THIS SHIP! You will die quickly.

KITE KITE KITE KITE KITE KITE, oh they gettin close to point range... warp away.

edit: Do NOT use a afterburner to attempt to kite, that is all it will become... an attempt to kite.

[Wolf, WU 4 no AWU]
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Gyrostabilizer II
Tracking Enhancer II
Overdrive Injector System II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Limited 1MN MicroWarpdrive I
Warp Disruptor II

280mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP S
280mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP S
280mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP S
280mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP S
[empty high slot]

Small Projectile Collision Accelerator I
Small Processor Overclocking Unit I

That fits with Projectile Weapon Rigging 4 and +1% PG implant, or PWR 3 and +2% PG implant.
You could also drop the damage rig for polycarb/capacitor/whatever, and it fits without implants.

Thanks guys for all the replies I'll try these out when I get in one. I guess my CPU issue was stemming from my belief that all frigs need a DCU

Edit: I think I can get away with projectile weapons rigging 3 without the 2% implant because I've got the Genolution Core pair of implants, and they help loads with fitting (built in 3.375% bonus to grid, CPU, capacitor, and cap recharge)

Edit #2: I just came up with this fit using 250's.

Highs:
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II x4
Rocket Launcher II

Mids:
Limited 1mn Microwarpdrive I
Warp Disruptor II

Lows:
Gyrostabilizer II x2
Tracking Enhancer II
Co-Processor II
Nanofiber internal Structure II

Rigs:
Small Processor Overclocking Unit I
Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I

It fits perfectly with my current skills with 0 grid left and 1.6 CPU to spare. The rocket launcher is to deal with drones (it won't do much, but its better than nothing)

I'll take 2 carebears to go, with extra tears

Why bother with 250's?

Beast them on dps all the way up to 16km witha twin TE + Gyro 250 boat. For 280's, it's all about the alpha.

If you want 280's then fit nothing but damage and speed. And fit a scram. Anything that gets on top of you needs to be slow down to sub MWD speeds. If they look like they are aligning out (frigate sized) you will overheat into their range to finish them off.
