It sounds like it worked fine for Bolsterbomb and I encourage him and everybody else in the Caldari militia to continue to experiment with putting both long range and short range weapons on their destroyers.

I don't, however, think members of the Gallente or Minmatar militia are advanced enough in their piloting skills to try such things. So I would avoid these advanced fitting concepts if I were you.

epic troll thank you.

There is nothing wrong with trying experimental fits as long as you discard them if they dont work and fly them according to what they were built for.

I have seen thrashers fitted with AC x 6 and one 280. You take it up against a Dramiel. You fire the arty at them- they rush in licking their chops AND...

Not something I would do but thought I'd throw it out there.

I'm fairly certain no one has ever experimented with the concept that sticking a rubik's cube inside a slinky and somersaulting down a flight of stairs with it to see if it might cause you to travel back to 1772 bc Babylon where you wind up traveling the lands with your talking humvee (who's also Arnold Schwarzenegger for some reason) while upholding the code of Hammurabi while simultaneously trying to invent aspirin because you totally knocked yourself out out when you fell down those stairs and some aspirin would probably help with that would work. However it makes almost as much sense as your last experiment so might as well give it a go ya?

Is there something big I'm missing, but wouldn't destroyers get ripped apart by Stealth Bombers? Like two stealth bomber vollies (Or one, if there's two SB) should vaporize any single destroyer before they even get a lock on.

Before destroyer buff (smaller sigs now I believe) I could MWD burn around after a Hound and he never got through more than of my 25% shields or so .. torps really don't like moving targets Smile

One could probably get away with siccing a group of noob ships on that bomber group .. more so after the freebies get their revamp .. hahahaha.

Bombers are very, very limited in function but they do that one thing extremely well.

AC thrashers are way underpowered. They sort of suck tbh. If your going to fit one make it armor as they are so much better.

I highly recommend the 250 arty fit. It gives you range and more versatility. Damn fine fit tbh. Will kill an AC thrasher 1v1 every time!

It will lose to a dual prop hookbill unless the thrasher is snaked/loki boosted and the hookbill is not, then it's all up to pilot skill at that point.

Solo, faction frigs have a very good shot at killing AC Thrashers. In groups... go with the dessies.

I have kited the scrotum off 2x thrashers in my hookbill solo at a range and speed where they couldnt even catch/lock me forcing them to warp out of the plex, rep up, come back, repeat until they realised plex was mine.

AC Thrashers lose on this occasion. You can have great deal of success with them yeah but like everything in this game, there is a ship/fit to counter the strengths of the enemy ship/fit.

So, in terms of solo, Arty thrashers seem to excel when forcing fights into plexes?

Nothing Beats The 150 Rail Cormy as far as staying Power. Not Even an arti Thrasher.

Once they are set up in a plex they are hard to push out with anything less than three ships. (Or as taught to me the other night by XG. Another Rail cormy)

Just Saying.

The problem with Arty thrashers is they just can't every get scamed. Or EVERYTHING kills it. If you're forever getting arty fags warping in on your plexes, then fight smarter. Open the plex warp in and simply wait for the idiot to follow you. They land in web and scam range, and you lul 20 seconds later as you scope the loot and run the plex timer down.

Don't ask about Italics, just tilt your head.

You are right, though I don't appreciate being called an arty ***.

edit: lol it censors *** but not fags...
