What would the easiest ship to train in to that could beat a Tengu solo?

Any strategies or fittings that would accomplish this?

Thank you

I would say a Legion should be fine for this job. Let me check the list:

  • Need a ship faster than Tengu: check, for active tanked version.
  • Need a ship that can break active tank with neutralizers: check with proper Subsystem and Neutralizer
  • Need EMP damage to use Tengu-Weakness: check, Lazors are perfect for this job.
  • Need good tank against Kinetic Damage: check

Legion is not faster than a tengu. And if you want neuts and lasers, you have 3 mids, so you have no web and can never get into neut range anyway.

Bhaalgorn is also incredibly dangerous to a tengu, since your webs and neuts are pretty much the same range as his point.

The major problem with soloing a Tengu is that most Tengu pilots leave the scene immediatelly if they smell a ship which might be a thread for them. Therefore you only will have have a fight if you by "accident" land on top of him.

I've seen a tengu killed by a solo trasher. Bad fit and moronic pilot.

It all depends on the tengu's fit and catching it.

Sure a bhaalgorn or a vindicator or machariel would **** one but no thinking tengu pilot would engage those ships so it's hardly worth considering unless you have someone else for tackle.

Ideally you'd want to catch one on a bubble to start the fight at close range and put a scram and 2 webs on it. And neuts. An armor cane would be ideal and I've seen a couple tengu kills from them just blast emp through that gaping hole.

Possibly, but the Tengu could still easily run away from you.
To effectively counter it, you'd be looking at something similar sized, nto a slow bulky BS - unless said Tengu plays really really badly.

This is, ofcourse, assuming that you, OP, mean with the Tengu counter the ship that can effectively kill one and not just chase it away.

Nano Absolution destroys them surprisingly fast and has enough projection to drop one fast.

It would be hitting its highest resists, while the Tengu hits back at the Proteus's lowest. Plus I'm not sure that the Proteus could stay at optimal even if it could get there.

A while ago I EFTed a dodgy Sacrilege fit that had the right combination of speed, active tank and dual webs necessary to catch and hold a 100 MN Tengu, and survive the experience. It would make a fairly amusing killmail in any other situation though. P

Hmm, so it is not as simple of an answer as it seems.

I was hoping perhaps a specialized fit of a lesser ship could make easy work of it, but perhaps the solution is actually pretty simple.

Ill have to out-Tengu the other Tengu.

Maybe with a cov ops cloak the element of surprise will give me enough of an edge to reliably get the kill.
