Warfare & Tactics

new to pvp game, what are the major weaknesses of the most common minmatar ships? canes, etc? thx for input and flames

Explosive and Kinetic holes. Weaker lock range - easier to sensor damp. Weak sensor strength - easier to jam. AC have great tracking and damage choice, but most of the damage is done in falloff. That DPS in EFT is never as good as what's stated.

Winmatar's greatest strength is being able to pick it's fights and run away when things go south. Bring webs.

Solvent. Destroys the Duct Tape's glue.


As for overall weaknesses, the ships tend to generalize and have multiple weapon system dependencies (culminating with the Typhoon needing good Missile, Gun, and Drone skills to be effective). They're not really the best at anything ('cept Alpha), but they make up for it by being pretty good at everything.

Winmatar ships don't have glaring weaknesses. Hard to catch them, Weapons don't shut off if you neut them, they often have neuts in fact to neut you, their weapons can load ammo to exploit your resist weaknesses, barrage is hard to kite, arty has long range.
The way to beat them is direct catch and brawl.
Scrambler, Web, Explosive ammo if you have it, max DPS/tank.
