Warfare & Tactics

The same way you counter everything in eve, intel. Know your enemy, set a trap, smack talk on local.

nano Mach or blaster Vindi.

Of course there is no such thing as 1v1.

The Command Ship of the T3's race

Verge of Collapse is the most notable alliance roaming around in T3s.

How to kill them, yes you need to blob them.

Having said that, yup they come only with 30, but of those 30, 10 are guardians and with the buffer and resists their setups have, yup you need a large fleet to even have a chance of breaking through their reps.

(Or use domis with uber tracking gardes, then you don't have to bring 100 men counter but just a 40-50 men.)

Well, it's verge of collapse, 95% people in their right mind wouldn't engage them with even numbers because they know they're outmatched.
Basically they always have to fight outnumbered to even get fights.
Also not all gangs are them same, and numbers don't say everything. Some 100 men fleets will be slaughtered by them without a single loss while an organised 50 men gang in the right ships can really give them a run for there money.
Just make sure you have good logi and also important good tackle numbers before engaging them.

If you want to 1v1 against T3's. Grow a sack and fly one yourself.

Otherwise, what CaptainFalcon said.

The tackle rifter.

Easy, tackle the tengu, and watch as 100 drakes gloriously alpha his 2 billion ISK ship.

I would think three times before engaging typical pvp domi with my tengu, same goes for pirate faction battleships; they however lack ability to actually catch t3s unless they decided to get into your range
As for using more then one ship, well... tackle it with something then neut it and kill should work quite reliably - most t3s hate neuts, hate webs and hate painters

Just bring ships equal to or greater in ISK value to them for a guaranteed kill. If your enemy has 500 million ISK on the field, why would you cheap out and not bring 500 million isk worth of ships to fight him?

When the only counter to T3s atm is more T3s.

The last time this situation occurred, supers and titans got nerfed into the ground.

Personally, I think ships with 2x BS tank and signature radius of 120-140m is ridiculously OP. Modular ships should not have the sigRad of non-modular ships of the same size. They should be bigger. Not a lot bigger. Maybe 15%. But it should reflect the modular effect.

Also, being able to fit 3x LSEIIs or 1600mm T2 plates on a cruiser-sized ship (or 2x and a 100MN AB) is ********. Nerf the engineering subs that give so much grid.

And those resists... CCP just went through and nerfed the resists on the non-T3 ships with resist bonuses. Yet T3s still have absurd resists. 95% armor EM resist on a Loki with resist subsystem, EANM, and a DCII? Really?

Not butt-hurt. I don't blame the people for flying them. But when a single class of ships is so ridiculously powerful that all of nulsec is reshipping into them, something is broken.
