Any Sisi users or number crunchers have any experience with Torps and the new Odessy CNR?

With the new teiricide Battleship changes and Cruise missile buffs, all the theory has been Cruise Missile related when talking missions. Yet I personally have not seen anyone mention or dwell on the Torpedo side of the bonuses; +25% bonus to Torpedo explosion radius, on the CNR(Level 5 Caldari Battleship).

(I have never had any experience with Torps) So will the 25%explosion bonus on Torps be of any practical use, or are Torps still far too gimped(outside of Stealth Bombers) in comparison to the Cruise changes?

Velocity is the same as before. Exp radius helps, but 25% isn't nearly enough, and CNR doesn't have the extra mids to spare for extra TPs. In any case, the dps nerf CNR got doesn't help (in this case, not balanced out by the cruise dps buff), and Rage torps got even larger exp radius in the current expansion then they used to have (not sure why they needed it...). All in all, even less reason to use torps for your CNR.

Correct. There's not much reason to use torps at least in PvE: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_CLlTV8bSxNMGFTNldabVdETFk/edit

The takeaway is that the Cruise CNR can kill common NPCs almost as fast as a Torp CNR or Torp Golem, but the Cruise CNR has the advantages of range and not having to change ammo type since Fury cruise missiles can kill NPC cruisers very efficiently.
