I try the T2 Target Painter, to maximize the damage on a WH doing PVE, and I notice that the damage when down by 80% all the time until I kill the ship, and some times I was getting 20% more damage than normal.

We also try 2 ships with Target Painters and the same funny effect happen. So the question is how should I use them?

Cheers,

I hope you forgive the obvious question out of the box - were you within Optimal range?

The next question is were you in a WH that has some sort of "environmental" effect?

I will do the test again to give you the correct data.

Were the enemies you tested the same type of ship? Which modules did you replace with the TP? How fast and in which direction were the enemies moving in each case? All these things will affect the damage of missiles (assuming you are using missiles with your TP).

Oh god.

I thought direction is irrelevant when it somes to missile damage calculation... Unless it helps to outrun entire volleys by flying away from attacker who shoots from max range, but that's unlikely the case here.

Yeah I think you're right. In my observations, it seems enemies flying towards explosions take more damage than enemies flying away from them but I don't think that is how it works.

Oh god.

Something to do with the target staying inside the explosion radius or some nonsense like that I bet.

If you wanna maximize the damage you do on a WH use the condoms made out of razors :)
